I have a Code Keyboard (Cherry Clears) in the office and a Das 4 Ultimate (Cherry Browns) at home. Both have stock keycaps except the Code has the windows keys replaced by a stick figure running through a portal and the escape key is the stick figure on the exit signs. No fancy keycap sets for me, cuz I'm boring like that haha.

SamPittmanSo I've had the Das for about 2 months now and the Code for about 2-3 years and all I can say is that they're both lovely. To fully answer your question, I'd like to offer an analogy:
Cherry switches are like sticks of butter and assuming you want to butter some freshly made toast with a slightly warm knife, cherry clears are like a stick that has been taken out of the fridge just before you cut a bit off and cherry browns are like a stick that's been left out on the counter for a few minutes before you tear into it. Both buttery smooth and incredibly satisfying to cut into (and ultimately your toast is buttered to perfection either way) but one is more slick and soft while the other has a little more of a bite to it.
TL;DR - I guess if I had to choose, I prefer the clears for typing (as a software engineer, this is very important) but the browns for everyday use.

techwizNice mate,
if you ever want to experience a toast crying tears of joy and pleasure, give it some superior Topre butter.
It's a miracle :)

MakamiOnly on the internet will I ever find someone who responds to my stupid butter analogy (which I came up with while bored af during a meeting) with a Queen reference.

SamPittmanYou're welcome and ty.
The best way to beginn and to end a day is with a smile or some laughter (when being alone, what happens every other day).
Keep smiling and have a nice day!

Drop Mech Keys Meetup - May 11th!
It's been a while since we've hosted a meetup at Drop. We want to change that, and are inviting folks to come hang out at our offices (Corsair HQ) in May! The Details Date: Saturday, May 11th Time: 1-5pm Location: Corsair HQ (Milpitas, CA) If you're interested in attending this event (or any future events!), please fill out the google form below. Attendance will need to be capped at roughly 30 attendees given the space (edit: we can accommodate a fair bit more than 30 - only mentioned this to manage expectations as this won't be a mega-event with hundreds; will lean more toward the "intimate" side of things, sub-100). https://forms.gle/3Q8fwCKp4hjkVdv18

i got one of these and after a couple hours of trying differnet things, I can't get VIA to recognize the device.
How about a link or pdf from the entity making money off this instructing how to program it?

I bought this for alt high profile v1 and setup screw-in stabilizer but stabilizer for enter key is interfered by top case and I wasn't able assemble it.
So I used plate mount stabilizer for enter key.
If I want to use screw-in stabilizer then I have to cut horizontal bump that looks like strut bar.
Do you have plan to sell improved one, pcb or case?

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?
I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".
