Do I Need to Lube My Keyboard Switches?
Figure 1: Sometime around here is a good time to ask that question... If you’re new to the mechanical keyboard hobby, I have no doubt that planning your first keyboard build is a bit of a daunting task. To be entirely honest with you, it’s only a tiny bit less daunting for your second or even third keyboard builds should you stay around a little while longer. You’ve got the keyboard itself to worry about, stabilizers, keycaps, and even switches on top of all of the intangible marks you want your dream keyboard to hit. Switches are especially daunting right out of the gate as there’s just so many options out there to pick from – each with their own unique specifications, manufacturers, and more. Yet, in spite of all of these differences between switches, time and time again I find people always asking about lubing switches as one of their chief concerns when it comes to picking some up. With countless numbers of content creators talking about lubing switches, its no...

ALT V2 not detected with Drop Keyboard Configurator
Hi, This is my first non-mac keyboard. I was under the impression that this would work out of box with with mac desktop however I am having issues getting the ALT V2 detected with the keyboard configurator software. The keyboard is plugged in and powered on. Apologies if this is very basic or if I have used incorrect language describing my issue, I don't have experience with this. Thank you

you should really waste 5 minutes to read livingspeedbump's review at keychatter: https://www.keychatter.com/2015/03/12/review-royal-kludge-rc930-87-rgb/
Some little copycat from there:
So no, these switches don’t provide a faithful reproduction of the Topre sound and feel. They’re:
Less tactile, more linear Less thocky More whooshy and whistly Still very smooth, with a cushioned bottom-out In short, not quite capturing that je ne sais quoi / mystery sauce of genuine Topre
His review has given me the last kick to wait for Alex setting up a drop for a Realforce 87U Tenkeyless 55g (White/Gray). Do you hear me mate :-)
Have a nice weekend
But honestly, I've tried the Keyboard and Aaron nailed it. Does it feel remotely as refined as the 55g Topre switch? Not even close. Is it worth the price tag? Without a doubt.
In the end, I wouldn't label this as a "substitute" for Topre, but rather an "alternative." The feeling is...familiar, but at the same time it is very obviously not Topre.
I'm actually in the drop just to tear it apart as soon as I get it to answer some of the questions about it. "Are the sliders interchangeable with Topre keyboards? Are the springs interchangeable (I hear not), direct dome comparisons outside of the keyboard, etc"
