Got my TKL acrylic board yesterday.
Overall impression is good, I'm using it at work now. It feels cheaper than the KUL-87 I have, not so solid made, keys are rattling, especially the space bar. I've replaced keycaps with the Vortex Backlit keycaps I got from Massdrop before. They look about the same, but they are thicker, and the legend is more contrast without backlight. While the original keycaps fit well, Vortex has 3 or 4 loose caps (I use small piece of paper under the cap to fix the loose) and right shift was stuck at the beginning. Rattling is much less with Vortex caps.
Backlight feature is amazing. I got this keyboard not because of it, this is my first rgb keyboard actually.
One issue I found with led programmin. You start programming with pressing Fn-Home after selecting target profile, and you suppose to finish it with Fn-Home. The issue is that when you press and hold Fn for save, the Fn key backlight red and saved this way. Workaround for that is to press Fn for 10 or so times until it returns to no light state, keep hold it in no light and press Home. Then Fn is saved with no backlight.

*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!

Polymer clay
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)?
