Durgod K320 Installed New Firmware Then Died
Hi Keyboard Gang!
I purchased two Durgod K320's through Drop. I installed the Zeus software on one of my 2 PCs. On that PC this morning it download and automatically installed new firmware. Now the keyboard is dead. It is not responding. Does anyone know anything about this issue? If so can you make some suggestions please. :(

Hello, happened to me too, but I have a way to fix it (worked for me). As it fails when I was trying to install the latest firmware and then "bricks/dead/no response"
What it worked form me:
1) Unplug the Durgod keyboard, uninstall the Zeus Durgod Engine
2) Install this old version of Zeus Durgod Engine (Zeus Engine 0.99.0.11) (https://www.touslesdrivers.com/index.php?v_page=23&v_code=64947&v_langue=en)
3) Plug the keyboard, as your keyboard is in "bootloader mode", open the Zeus Engine and it will try to put the original base firmware, after the update, the keyboard will work. (at least in my case), so it's fixed, you don't need to put the newest firmware if you don't want it.
***(OPTIONAL STEPS)
If you really want to use the latest Zeus software + firmware, I fixed with this, these steps are optional as the old/original firmware works and fixes the main problem.
1) Remove Zeus Engine software
2) Download (Zeus Engine 1.0.2.12), this is still an old version, but has the ability to upgrade to the latest firmware (https://www.touslesdrivers.com/index.php?v_page=23&v_code=72406)
3) Open the software and plug the keyboard, it will detect to put the new firmware version, update it.
4) Remove de Zeus Engine software
5) Install the latest version of the Zeus Engine software, as you will have the latest firmware for the k320, it will work as expected.
If with the **OPTIONAL STEPS it bricks/dead again, go to first step with the oldest version (Zeus Engine 0.99.0.11)
Hope it helps!!!

I tried contacting Durgod for about 2 months. I sent emails every week. No response. I gave up. If anyone gets a response from them PLEASE post here with how you did it... :(

*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)?

How do you do per-key RGB lighting on a Shift V2?
I saw the online configurator that lets you do this on the Shift V1, where it spits out a compiled firmware file to flash. The V2 doesn't seem to have this function in the Windows configurator, though. I can't imagine the answer here is "you're going to have to manually write the hex for every key in QMK, compile it, and flash that".

Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....

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...
