Everything looks great. Too bad there won't be an ISO version. That's a deal-breaker for me.

I own a GMMK Pro with south facing sockets. My biggest complaint with it is there is a terrible selection of backlit keys for south facing RGB. Is there some big selection of keys out there that I'm not seeing?

Looks nice. How about the high pitch noise when the LED backlighting is ON (a commonly reported Drop CTRL issue). Have you checked this as well?

Glad there's a PCB-mount version of these stabs now, I'm a fan of the plate-mount models.

Hopefully, this keyboard will sound great out of the box without any need of modding it like the iqunix keyboard!

Hoping it has on-board memory to keep RGB+Macro settings so you can effortlessly connect with other computers without having to install the software.
At the moment I'm using the Corsair K95 platinum and I really like the USB port which has a fingerprint scanner. Would be nice if a spare USB port is available too, not a must but would be nice.

This is just marketing fluff that was already known from the first story and should be standard for a custom board lol

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....

*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!

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...

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

Staying Hot-Swappable After testing different types and brands of hot-swappable sockets, we found 5-pin PCB mount Kaihua sockets to be the best choice for the SENSE75. In our switch socket selection process, we took painstaking care choosing the right set components to drastically reduce bent switch pins—a common issue caused when the plate and sockets don’t perfectly align. Throughout our testing, we’ve found our build tolerances to be precise enough to virtually eliminate switch misalignment.
Taking Our Own Stab Perhaps the most frustrating part of customizing a keyboard is getting that perfect touch and feel, only to have it ruined by a rattling stabilizer. Buying a beautiful keyboard and then having to modify and tune your stabs seems counterproductive. When creating the SENSE75, searched the market for out-of-the-box stabilizers that provided similar performance as an enthusiast tuned custom product—and nothing even came close. Rather than send our users a box of bandaids and clippers, we worked with Gateron to design an all-new high-performance stabilizer from the ground up. It’s called the Phantom Stabilizer, and you’ll find it on the SENSE75.
