Hey everyone, we wanted to provide a quick update regarding the specs of V2 ALT, CTRL, and SHIFT keyboards—specifically, the bottom case foam. The bottom case foam spec on the product page has been updated to reflect production units, which use a PE foam in the bottom of the case (all other foams are PORON and IXPE as noted in the specs). V2 keyboards were in production when the decision was made to normalize all foams to PORON in the Foam Upgrade Kits, hence the discrepancy between the two products.
As always, we continuously evaluate our products and community feedback to make minor adjustments going forward.

Would love if there was a high profile option! I've been waiting years for that. Or would it be possible to have a separate high profile case upgrade? I would even do that if it were an option.
I cannot get this keyboard to go into flash mode. Holding FN + b doesn't work and the button in the back does nothing. I don't even feel a button in the hole tbh. Should I return it? Thank you.
Ordered mine with gateron yellows but not sure if I got the Panda Clears (the switches were fully transparent). Whatever they were, though, man the switches sucked! They were super scratchy and somewhat inconsistent. I was ready to chalk it up to me making mistakes as I got used to the new layout but nope! As soon as I swapped the switches out (for some Epomaker Sea Salt Silents, how soft and cozy), the issue has gone away and I am able to type as accurately as I typically can. Otherwise, pretty nice board. It'll take me a little while to get used to the small zero on the numpad being so close to the bottom arrow. With that said, though, I appreciate the small sacrifice in order to keep things compact.
My SHIFT V2 arrived half DOA. It only works when plugged in with a USB C to C cable for some reason. I've tried various different cables on 3 different PCs and only the C to C cables work. Regular C to A cables just give me a "Device not recognized" message in Windows. It'll light up and react to keys being pressed but it doesn't function beyond that. Very odd issue. My CTRL V2 PCB is arriving soon and I hope that doesn't have the same problem.
