Is there a know work around to directly plugging into an M1 Mac? I own a Macbook Pro 2021 M1 MacOS 12.2, and I have used my Pronic with my mac using a powered USB hub no problem. With a powered hub there is no issue connecting. Now the problem starts when you want to plug it in directly using a Usb c to usb c cable. I suspect this is a problem on apples side as I have seen several pages of complaints of usb keyboards not working when directly connected to M1 Macs. I called apple directly to ask about what can be done as it seems silly I can use the Preonic fine with a Hub but not when directly plugged in with a usb c cable. I want to state I have a high quality usb c to usb c cable, and I was unable to get it to work when directly plugged in even with the help of apple support. Apple support said it may not be supported, and that I would need to see with the manufacturer if they support direct connection. I have done a huge amount of googling and tried every solution but none work. As it stands this Preonic will not work when directly plugged in to a M1 Mac. It's my fave keyboard, and the point of a 60% is to be minimalistic. So having to carry a huge usb hub everywhere I go defeats the point. So a fair warning to anyone with and M1 you need a powered hub to make this work.

So I am not sure what version of the ID80 this is, but given that its is per key white LED and it has a gasket mount with center positioned brass weight, this has the latest case updates but a V2 PCB. Is this correct?
For reference:

Do I Need to Lube My Keyboard Switches?
Figure 1: Sometime around here is a good time to ask that question... If you’re new to the mechanical keyboard hobby, I have no doubt that planning your first keyboard build is a bit of a daunting task. To be entirely honest with you, it’s only a tiny bit less daunting for your second or even third keyboard builds should you stay around a little while longer. You’ve got the keyboard itself to worry about, stabilizers, keycaps, and even switches on top of all of the intangible marks you want your dream keyboard to hit. Switches are especially daunting right out of the gate as there’s just so many options out there to pick from – each with their own unique specifications, manufacturers, and more. Yet, in spite of all of these differences between switches, time and time again I find people always asking about lubing switches as one of their chief concerns when it comes to picking some up. With countless numbers of content creators talking about lubing switches, its no...

ALT V2 not detected with Drop Keyboard Configurator
Hi, This is my first non-mac keyboard. I was under the impression that this would work out of box with with mac desktop however I am having issues getting the ALT V2 detected with the keyboard configurator software. The keyboard is plugged in and powered on. Apologies if this is very basic or if I have used incorrect language describing my issue, I don't have experience with this. Thank you
