I almost pulled the trigger!!! Then I noticed 3 pin switches only...most of my switches are 5 pin. When will you offer the 5 pin version? Also, note that when I clicked on the Drop Holy Panda switches, it defaulted to the 5 pin version. If you didn't know the difference, it would have been pretty bad to get excited and then realize the switches won't work unless you cut them all to 3 pin. Just saying.

You can use clippers or pliers to remove the extra two pins, as they are just plastic posts for pcb stability. I have several sets of switches that I’ve trimmed. There doesn’t seem to be any detriment in performance or stability. I own way way too many sets of switches.

@Drop When will you be releasing keycap sets or updating current ones to be 100% compatible with the SHIFT?

Most keycaps are split in to multiple different sets, so if you only own a 65% keyboard, you don’t have to purchase extraneous product. With the Shift, I find the Navigation keys to be the most difficult. I would be happy to help you find the caps you need! Which set are you considering?

RldxI can't speak for this person, but if you look at a set like MT3 Dasher, the keys to go over the numpad simply don't exist in the kitting. There's no R0 Ins, Del, Home, End, PgUp, or PgDn to put there.

Yes, it certainly isn’t a universal standard. And what kits are available for which sets vary quite a bit. Always be sure to double and triple check that sets include the correct rows for the board you are building. There are a lot of other manufacturers out there that offer keycap sets in 124+ piece sets for one price, and some even have familiar colorways. While there is a notable difference in quality, I use these less expensive kits to supplement the missing keys I am needing, with no issues. MT3 is a modified SA profile, so any SA keycaps should match the profile well enough to get by.

@Drop When will you be submitting the SHIFT to the QMK repository so that we can use the actual QMK configurator?

Seeing as the new keyboard they just announced includes this feature, it’s unlikely that we will see the Shift retrofitted with this.

aside from switches and key caps, are there any other parts required to set this up?
