Oh yeah and please bring up the QMX clips. Is there any chance there will be a versio for plate mounted switches? No idea how but still wish there was. Dampening the switch instead of the keycap would help alot with SA and DSA profile keycaps!

Some questions for GMK -
Color formulation - Recent keycap releases and a few to be released have been noted to use a color reformulation. Can GMK talk to any of this? Specifically whether they are using a new formula or have plans to expand the color selection for custom keycaps?
Keycap profiles - Does GMK have plans for sculpted profiles? Could Topre profiles be in the future?
Double-shot and Pad Printing - Some clarity in why GMK chooses double shot or pad printing when running a production set would help new designers stepping in to create new cap designs. What key legends support both? What key legends require one vs the other?
Legend Modifiers - Some enthusiasts appreciate legends as their preference to text modifiers while some prefer novelty graphics. What influence will we have on GMK to make legend modifiers available in the future?
Quality Management - Some in the community have noted scratched key caps, light bleed, and legend rub out from pad printing as a few of the issues that come from key cap production. What influence has this feedback had in GMK's production runs? What are the critical quality checks GMK puts into the production process to manage against these issues?
Production Schedules - Some vendors provide a view into schedule for production which helps customers understand delivery schedules. Being able to see this information would significantly help group buys and drop participants to know when a order was received and when it is scheduled for production. What is the general estimate for a MOQ set from manufacture to shipment for key caps from GMK? Would GMK offer a way for customers to see a schedule for key cap production runs?
Thanks!

Without knowing what is going to be on the table at Uniqey it's kind of hard.
Their future plans/visions. What do they think about the Gateron "Hype". Are we going to see more than fullsize and tkl, plans for 60%, 65%, maybe a modular mk someday, a numpad ...

Nope,
Uniqey is going to offer customizable keyboards, my guess would be they'll offer Cherry MX switches, but who knows. http://www.uniqey.net/en.html

Shameless repost:
- How the Cherry molds ended up in their hands
- Uniqey
- Considerations regarding their MOQ and policy for creation of new molds
- Maybe getting a full list of all the molds they have
- Some highlights from previous custom jobs they did like the Skidata keyboards. Maybe something we're not aware of yet.

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".

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
