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 do like browns though, and I've had it before. But as far as I can tell, White and Clears are better, but I'm kind of struggling to find the real difference.
I got this keyboard with clears in the last drop, and although I'm slowly getting used to them, I still don't really know what to feel about them. Browns are pretty much linear in comparison, but the tactility of clears is still much softer than I would've hoped, lacking the sharp, defined feedback that you get with clicky switches. They also feel dampened slightly when bottomed out, which on this particular board feels a bit like typing on wood, if I could compare it to anything. One thing that I've noticed is that they don't seem to be 100% consistent, especially with off-center presses and on wider keys, where they can feel different, and even bind quite badly on some of my keys. Whether this is just clears in general, or my particular switches - who knows, your mileage may vary.
My use is about half gaming, half typing, and they are fine either way. It will also depend on the type of games you play, but in my experience clears aren't too distracting in-game.
If you're looking for tactility, and are used to Topre - I think clears would be a bit of a downgrade. Compared to browns however, clears are a step up if you don't mind them being a bit heavier and softer. Can't comment on silvers too much, but they're likely a great choice for gaming. And you did mention whites (which are like a strangely soft MX blue), but they aren't an option with this drop. Unless you like a specific switch, I wouldn't get the same switches that you already have, it's healthy to try a bit of everything!
But thanks again for the reply, this either ends with a coin toss, or I'll just safe it with the browns :p
