Loving those front-printed legends and alpha colors - any chance for an inclusive kit or extra mod kits that would make for an all monochrome set in the alpha colors (like breadbin C64s had)? | Get Brown mods...

Jan 15, 2022

AlexPkAh, well - that's understandable. If they show up in future runs, I'll be down for at least two sets.

AlexPk @AlexPk How can we proactively show support for brown mods?

Jan 17, 2022

somecarlosguyGet Brown mods gang together to upvote this post which I will use as a mini interest check. edit: talking with Yanbo about getting brown added in. I don't know if there will be a minimum buyers caveat or anything, but keep you posted.

AlexPkI hope people see this, stuff gets lost in the feed so easily. Brown would be my dream set; I got into mechanical keyboards wanting to build a C64 replica! Susuwatari or MT3 WOB have been the closest I've found so far.

AlexPkDefinitely interested in brown mods, and as @Sorigami says, grey (or tan) fkeys like the breadbin 64 had

AlexPkYeah I’m just not understanding the 4 to 1 number. I’d like to see the source of that data, honestly. I’m looking here and on Geekhack and Keebtalk, and not a single person wants red mods. What “other” sets are you comparing this to? You don’t have data for the SA or DSA versions that ran before Drop existed. The GMK version didn’t make it to MOQ and simply wasn’t a good fit for this colorway. Is there some other set I’m unaware of that you’re getting data from. I highly recommend you reconsider.

you and me both, I have two sets of susus but brown would be my dream set just plain to make my commodore replica. I did the bbox 60 and it would look perfect on it

AlexPk35 upvotes, how many are needed for it to happen? I'd love to buy this but the reds wouldn't match the look of what I'm doing.

GeekLevelAsianAnd lots more across other comments and posts. Matt3o did say that Drop had inquired about alternate color codes, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

GeekLevelAsianedited my comment earlier, but we're looking into it now

AlexPkHey Alex, you need to make it more visible, cause I just spent 10 minutes looking for this comment to upvote it. Could you maybe add a sticky on top of Discussions?

phinixI think it's pretty clear at this point that there's interest so we're already looking into it, but you're right and in the future I'll do that.

AlexPkHey Alex, with only a few weeks left...would I have to purchase the Brown alphas and then buy Brown modifiers? Or will it all be available in one Brown-only set?

somecarlosguy

AlexPk @AlexPk @YanboWu Any update on brown modifiers?

(Edited)

Feb 14, 2022

somecarlosguyLet me check on that edit: Looks like we're just waiting on a quote from the factory. Should hopefully get that back this week/next week as the factories open back up after CNY

Feb 14, 2022

AlexPkSweet thanks Alex...because if they're coming out, I have money for you guys lol

Feb 17, 2022

AlexPkI think it's the last day to preorder these, will I need to preorder these now and wait on modifiers or will it be available as one single set?

Feb 17, 2022

GeekLevelAsianIt'll be a modifier addon kit. I'm talking with Yanbo about the best way to do this because I know a number of people are waiting to see the brown mods before they get the base kit. The problem is there are no renders to share or put on the page so it's mostly just a logistical issue at this point.

Feb 17, 2022

AlexPkOk so that's good to know though. Because I'm trying to do this in the most affordable way possible. So if I do the $95 base kit, the modifiers will come out later. I just didn't want a full brown set to come out for like $110 and then I just screwed myself over because I didn't wait.

AlexPkI'd purchase with only seeing a crude 2d drawing of the caps as long as I know they're coming and will match the alphas. Heck, I'd buy if there was a link to purchase with an "image coming soon" placeholder saying it's a brown modifier kit to replace all burgundy will the same brown as the alphas.

(Edited)

Feb 19, 2022

GeekLevelAsianI hear ya. Hopefully the brown mods will launch here shortly, and you can always cancel or move things around as needed for the next few months too. @PixelPusherXX I'm of the same mind, but I can also see there being confusion due to the fact that the 2d images might look wildly different in color from the renders or otherwise. I think everyone involved just wants things buttoned down to minimize confusion and the risk of any errors.

Apr 25, 2022

AlexPkI saw this on Matt3o's blog..."So no Dark Speech Tolkien keycaps, no Elven dices, no full brown Retro, no MT2 set designed by me (in contrast to what I announced few hours ago)." So there will be no full brown set?

*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)?
