Have you noticed the flaw in the Shift V2 case?
I recently decided to try adding screw-in stabs to my Shift V2. As this was my first time adding screw-ins, it took me about 45 minutes to get them on the PCB. The next hour was then spent unsuccessfully trying to get the PCB to sit nicely in the top of the case. I started unscrewing some of the stabs, trying to figure out which one was the problem. I did also manage to figure out that it's best practice to have the screws a little loose when you go to pop the PCB in the case. But that only worked for four of the five stabs. The fifth stab, the Num Enter stab, would sit properly. Once I got it narrowed down to that stab, I started looking at the case itself. That's when I found the problem. There is a little post that interferes with the screw-in stab's screw (pictures included; you can see the damage from the screw being mashed into the post). I assume this is a carryover from the V1 case, for which the included PCB did not have holes for board mounted stabs. So now the questions:...

[Note to Linux users] I noticed if I unplugged the keyboard then plugged it back into my Arch Linux machine it started acting strange, for example pressing "l" resulted in "jkl". After a bit of tinkering it seems the easiest solution is to press "Fn + F12" (I believe this toggles Apple/Windows mode). Doing "rmmod hid_generic; modprobe hid_generic" is the other alternative, besides rebooting.. It doesn't exhibit this behavior in my Windows 8.1 machine.
Now to find a pack of LEDs and ponder O-rings as well as keycap sets that either include "00" or can make some kind of nice combo with the originals in-place..
On another note, could you help us figure out the addition of LEDs? I put my multimeter across a few of the the LED holes on the PCB and it saw no voltage. What I assumed was the LED-on/off toggle (Fn + F7) didn't change that.
