*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!

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)?

Things to note:
*Caps Lock key just looks...wrong to me. Definitely personal preference, but my brain tells me the arrow should be facing up, just like Shift.
The space bar has two quirks with my personal board: a) the spacebar does not have a cutout for the backlight. This is fine, but the light still shines through it and shows the imperfections in the plastic, which makes the key itself look out of place in dark settings. b) the spacebar doesn't bounce back like my stock one does. I've pulled the cap off three or four times tonight and tried to tell myself it's not doing that, but if I'm typing a long sentence like this one, the key doesn't "pop" back all the way up. I don't know if my spacebar switch is just weak or what...
For those of you who bought these for a ducky board, you will be pleased to know that the included keys DO include the volume keys. The only one that isn't a 1:1 match is the calculator key, which I've placed the Squirrel key instead. After you set the keys, you should have one extra: a Windows key.
Also another quirk, but I don't care: The top number row is illuminated at the TOP, meaning the symbols are illuminated.
For the space bar LED, you could cover it with a cleverly placed small strip of electric tape. I do agree though that a small line may have went well with this set. But I do have my spacebar upside-down so it wouldn't work for me either way.
I'm slated to get the board back tomorrow, so hopefully I put the keys back on there and they work fine.
