Stunning Keycap, Fragility and Optical Switch Compatibility Considerations
This is my first artisan keycap and oooooh boy, this little guy is beautiful. Crystal clear, not a flaw in sight on the finish, and lets through just enough backlighting to look very pretty on backlit keyboards. I have a Hunstman Mini with their newer red linear optical switches that I wanted to put on. The only issue I ran into was with the fit. The stem is compatible, as they are both Cherry MX stem clones. However, on their optical switches, every single switch has these metal wire stabilizers. The place these fit into the switches means that there are two extensions that pop out of the back side of each switch. The stem was fine, but the stab extensions extended too far and rubbed up against the inside wall of the keycap. The stem ended up breaking after a couple clicks, I am assuming that it was from the pressure. I had to super glue the stem in the keycap back together and sand down the inner wall of the key cap to get it to fit properly, but now with just a little sanding and some love it's fitting quite nicely. The only thing I'm waiting for now is the Drop Skylight keycap set to complete the look. Want to get another keycap of these guys if they make another run, absolutely stunning looking.

*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!

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)?
