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

I am new to this and am about to order a few sets of Base, Modifiers, Numpad and Novelties. What would be some good boards to use these with? I am looking for either brown or blue switches.
Also if I get a board with a windows key will the Novelties cover those?
I really love the colors of this set and it will match my desk.
Also I am interested in a gamepad. Should the Numpad cover a gamepad? I use a Logitech G11 and really love the rows of programmable keys to the left. I realize that is probably not possible in a mechanical board but would be interested if there are any options.
Very broad question you have there. So the "Windows" key is covered in the Modifiers by the "System" key. Many designers will use labels like SYSTEM, HYPER, META, SUPER instead of WINDOWS because it makes a more generic term that users of all OS' can use, and sometimes it just fits the theme of the set better.
The WASD keyboards are always good, for cheap boards the Cooler Master QFR series are always good as well. Pretty much any mechanical keyboard with a standard layout will work well for you. The key thing to look for is that all of the Modifiers to either side of the spacebar are the same size. Here is an example:
The numpad will really just cover numpads, not really the dedicated gamepads. If you have any more questions let me know!
Thats what I use at work . Although I got one of the rare white boards, with the white baseplate. Debating on getting these keys for it but I don't think they'd suit a white keyboard.
