Do I Need to Lube My Keyboard Switches?
Figure 1: Sometime around here is a good time to ask that question... If you’re new to the mechanical keyboard hobby, I have no doubt that planning your first keyboard build is a bit of a daunting task. To be entirely honest with you, it’s only a tiny bit less daunting for your second or even third keyboard builds should you stay around a little while longer. You’ve got the keyboard itself to worry about, stabilizers, keycaps, and even switches on top of all of the intangible marks you want your dream keyboard to hit. Switches are especially daunting right out of the gate as there’s just so many options out there to pick from – each with their own unique specifications, manufacturers, and more. Yet, in spite of all of these differences between switches, time and time again I find people always asking about lubing switches as one of their chief concerns when it comes to picking some up. With countless numbers of content creators talking about lubing switches, its no...

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

From Art to Artisan
Before launching any product, there are many designs, concepts, and ideas that pass between teams before arriving at a final design which makes its way to your computer screen and, eventually, desk. This is no more true than when considering possibly the most "art"-forward aspect of the mechanical keyboard hobby—artisan keycaps. It should be obvious that a lot of planning and artistry goes into crafting these literal pieces of art. We don't often get a chance to see behind the curtain, though. So, let's take a closer look at the upcoming Drop + Dwarf Factory Lord of the Rings Rohan Artisan Keycaps. Before any resin is spilled, Middle Earth (the entity that licenses the Lord of the Rings IP) needs to approve the concepts based on concept art provided by Dwarf Factory. We connect with DF to coordinate on the topic and subject matter—in this particular case, additional Rohan-themed designs—to be sure that the concepts match with overall direction, whether that be pairing up with a...

My Kingdom for Smooth ABS SA Keycaps
Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by. Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white. Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...

Also, I don't know why everyone is freaking out about the FN+Left/Right... It was never advertised that this keyboard featured custom lighting modes (other than on/off and a few different brightness levels) and when you consider the unique layout, it makes sense why it does not mimic the Keycool 87's functions.
The numpad (the keycaps with blue front prints) is toggled on and off via Fn+NmLk and works perfectly.
On the other hand I am glad you are "reasonably happy" with your purchase.
Of the final 6 complaints, one was an opinion that his Kailh Blue switches didn't feel close enough to Cherry Blues, this leaves 5 complaints. Of those 5, one received the wrong product. Two others stated their boards were wobbly when placed on their tables; in this sense, can you be sure it was the board and not their table? My friend just got a Ducky Shine 3 TKL and his old board (Razer Lycosa) didn't wobble on the table but his new Ducky does. Meanwhile his Ducky sits completely flat on my work area. One other was a complaint that some of the keycaps on the board didn't match the picture (something I found as well). So that leaves one guy with a legitimate, proven issue with the quality of the product (the guy with the oddly coloured keycaps). The majority of other complaints were attributed to the lack of LED modes, a feature which was never advertised, and were thus discarded.
To put this into context, 129 people were part of the last drop. 5 "problems"/129 = ~3.8% of people reported problems with their product. Of those 5, two had issues whose root may stem from their desk and not the board, so 3/129=~2.3%. One of those three problems was a buyer who was sent the wrong configuration of the product and another complained about the misrepresentation of the keycaps which could be attributed to Massdrops advertisement. That leaves the only legitimate problems with the quality of the product, the buyer with the discoloured keycaps. That leaves us with the stat of 1/129=0.07% of buyers having a proven issue with the quality of the product. Keep in mind, these statistics are only accounting those buyers who have received their keyboards; more people may come forward in the future. Looking at any of these percentages tells us that the vast majority of buyers had no problems they felt were important enough to post on this discussion about. I'm not sure where you are seeing this "overwhelming response in dissatisfaction". I see an overwhelming lack of response by people who didn't feel the need to post about their purchase (positively or negatively) on this discussion.
