*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!

I find the BPT keys to feel somewhat slow on the rebound, and the overall typing experience to feel a tad too slow. The lighter ABS keys, however, feel just right to me on this keyboard.
So key weight can make a feelable diffence.
The Novatouch uses 45g Topre switches, which are a high quality rubber dome membrane keys that also have a spring in each switch.
I don't know if the effect is as great on Cherry type switches. But I'd imagine that anytime you have a weight sitting on top of a spring, a change in the weight will affect the feel and timing of the key action as it accelerates down and rebounds back up.
The question is whether that difference is big enough to be noticeable, and if it is, which one is preferable over the other.
In the case of the Novatouch, the difference in weight is noticeable. I find I prefer the lighter keys in this case.
