*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)?

Feels like meeting with an old friend whom you used to hang out with all the time but have not seen for many years. It is still the same friend, and yet something feels different about her. Maybe it is not your friend that is different but you are.. it is clear that you will need some time to figure things out but it is all quite cheerful still.
The switches are nice and heavy, not bottoming out at all. It is clear that they need to be worn-in a bit. The closest thing I can compare the feel of the Buckling spring keys is probably turning the crown of really great mechanical watch or my favorite Parker pen spring mechanism. Topre *feel* is to me like the piano key or pedal.
The build quality is decent, none of the glitches that get mentioned about Unicomp keyboards so frequently. Really great keyboard but definitely not as solid as Model M. The additional buttons are nice though, no clear winner between those two.
Overall, this is a great instrument for doing actual work in a setting where people will not commit suicide or homicide because of the noise it makes. I would never game on this, I think that is the only place where fast Cherry switches are actually a better option.
I see myself ordering a blank black key set from Unicomp sometime in the future, this keys look nice, but they are too bright for my taste. I must mention once again that having this option for the drop would have been really, really nice.. Maybe it would have reduced cost a bit as well.
I think as far as keyboards go I am set for a while. This stays home, Topre goes to the office and I will sell my Cherry keyboards.. maybe keep one with browns or clears though, with nice Cherry profile PBT keys they are not *bad* after all.
One day there might be an SSK or ergonomic Buckling spring keyboard, but until then this really is the one to get.
