*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard
I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

Don't drop crazy cash on custom wood builds! Instead go buy polymer clay and paint. Then you can spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make it look like you can afford to drop crazy cash on...

Want to build a Clicky Mech Keyboard. Where to begin?
Hello all. Am brand new to the idea of building my own keyboard. Have not a clue where to begin this process. I am a Sim Game enthusiast. American Truck Sim, DCS Flight Sim and goes from there. Need some real help on where to start for making my own Full Size, Clickey Mechanical KB. I want each key to have its own backlighting. Are there keys that are better than others for this? Is there a great spot on site for a person who has never even taken a keyboard apart? Let alone fixed or built one? I would like it to fit my theme of Red and Black. Yet maybe have the option of changing things up a bit. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all kindly, Durazell

Does the ALT v2 PCBA support USB-C e-marked cables?
Currently my ALT v1 does not work with e-marked USB-C cables. I was wondering if the v2 PCBA does support these types of cables (thunderbolt 4 cable for example)?

i received mine yesterday in Germany and have some initial thoughts, too.
The keyboard is working fine at BIOS, Bootmenue, Win7 and Linux. But i've had some trouble with Win10, as soon as i plugged in the keyboard all of my input devices didn't work anymore and misbehaved. After a couple of reboots, switching back and forth between Windows and Linux the problem was solved. Don't ask me why, but sometimes Pc's/Windows is a mystery :)
The downloadable software isn't working for me, i get the message "no keyboard detected" everytime at Win7 and Win10, the included software from the mini-cd is working and does recognize the mk, still havn't been fooling around with it, because i don't need it.
The switch feeling is no Topre, it's not as smooth at all like my RF, Leopold or HHKB. But i still like it and don't think it's bad, just different. There might be a lot of potential in lubing the rails to make it smoother. The weight of 55g is absolutly given, a little bit more linear than Topre. The Tock is nice and reminds me something in between a HHKB and a HHKB Type-S.
All of this is very subjective and your feelings may differ from mine but i still think this keyboard is worth a try depending on your expectations. I don't regret to have bought this for the options given and the money asked for!
If you've questions, i'll try to answer, just let me know.
