Hey guys, I got my keyboard to day and I love the look and feel of it!

But one quesion, how can I use shift+arrow keys? I want to select a region of text, but when I use the arrow keys with the Fn modifier, I can not hold shift to select an area :/

Insanity01Shift then Fn + (a/z/s/d)
I have the same problem... :(

NarannOh that actually works :o. Thanks! That will take some getting used to unfortunately, is that as it was intended?

Insanity01The FN key activates on whatever you hit next. If you hit FN then Shift then the arrows, the FN key is trying to activate the FN layer of the Shift key rather than the WASD arrows. It's designed that way.

dcchambersYes, that's why "Fn reprogramming" firmware is important. I will custom the behavior so Fn+Shift will work as Shift + Fn.

dcchambersI think this is silly by design :) If I haven't mapped anything on fn+shift it should just use the defaults, in this case shift.

NarannTry adding Control in the equation and you will end up switching among the 3 layers <(o0)>

sevdaloneHaha true!
But I only use left shift and ctrl anyway. :)
The more I think about it, the more I think custom firmware is the way to go. This way to put anything YOU want.

sevdaloneAssuming you are using the left shift in a programmable layer, you can implement this. Set fn + left shift = right shift and now, whether you do Lshift+fn+w/a/s/d or fn+Lshift+w/a/s/d, it should behave the same

MiruykJust to confirm, is it possible to use the left shift key with the arrow keys? As this is the big thing putting me off after seeing this comment.
Just as a reference point, I am using a KBP V60 Matias at work, and want a keyboard with a similar 60% layout because I love it and my muscles have got used to the button placement. Is this keyboard similar/identical to the keybinds on that keyboard

PapaJohnI can't comment on the similarity to the V60 but you can use the shift key to invoke arrows but you have to hold the function key modifier as well. You can also make the shift key into a function key if you didn't want to have to hold the original function key at the same time.

Insanity01Yea i realized that to about selecting text. When i switched the fn wth capslock (like other poker boards) i was able to use capslock+shift+arrow key.

*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!

Polymer clay

Don't drop crazy cash on custom wood builds! Instead go buy polymer clay and paint. Then you can spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make it look like you can afford to drop crazy cash on...

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)?
