hmm so i received mine recently and have also been experiencing some of these issues. some of the keys feel like they need bottoming out in order to activate. i got the clicky switches and for some keys, the click itself doesn't seem to activate the switch-- it has to go a tiny bit further than the click to activate. and yeah spacebar problems like everyone else it hurts cuz the whole thing is soooo A E S T H E T I C just wished it actually works/functions as well as it looks :(

ulqXHave you tried toggling the activation point with Fn+RShift?

deerslugyup it seems to be just an issue with the E key. it's the one key that seems to have a consistently different activation point compared to the rest of the keys regardless of toggle

ulqX @ulqX @deerslug with any non contact based keyboard - these, Topre, others - the click will not activate the switch by design. The goal is to get them to happen together, or the click just before actuation, and that takes precision and control. So, sorry, this is a feature, not a bug.

XMIThmm see the issue is the inconsistency BETWEEN keys. it would be ok if all the keys were identically misaligned, but now it's like all the other keys activate on click, but just the E key doesn't. is that inconsistency by design as well? i'm actually not tryna be snarky here despite what it might look like :/ what causes some keys to be more click-activation aligned than others?

ulqXIt's certainly not intentional. I chalk this up to inconsistencies in manufacturing for either the switch housings (less likely) or click leaves (much more likely).

*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)?
