I think Ive come to the conclusion that "end game" is when I run out of money.

Tastes change, but atm my endgame is a Topre Realforce 87u with BKE heavy domes and KBDFans sliders in the Norbaforce housing with galaxy console powder coat with Amazing Chocolatier caps. I've gotten ahold of everything, just waiting on the Norbaforce. Endgame+ will be a matching Realforce 23u.

Glad you posted something regarding end game! I do have similar questions for all the MK lovers out there.
Agree with @LatrFlex and I do think end game will take some time to "complete" if it ever will :p I tend to get pretty greedy myself :p Layout - probably the most important - I love 60% but sometimes I crave those arrow keys - so a keyboard 64-71 keys layout would be it. Switches - probably really important - really digging the BOX Thick Clicks right now. BOX Navy in particular. Aesthetics + Quality - keycaps, case (material, weight, etc), artisans, cable, LEDs - Huge artisan fan here, don't know if I will ever have an end game for Artisans. Would definitely want a cohesive theme for these.
Never ending criteria for an end-game keyboard for me, perhaps it will change, perhaps it won't.

If their anything like the Jade they are pretty loud, but much deeper sounding than a blue.

@XiK ever looked at and/or considered a DZ64 build? 60% size with the option to include arrow keys, provided you can sacrifice right Shift and a few keys right of the Space bar

End-game shoud be every single thing you wanted accomplished:
- Favorite switch
- Favorite layout, either by size, programability or typing layout
- Favorite Case, by Color, material or inclination
- Favorite lighting or no lighting at all!)
- Favorite keycap, by material, color or profileyou want
- Favorite cable, color, lenght, coil
- Favorite artisan
All these little things make your board your own.

I have like a 900$ dollar budget and just got gmk modern dolch, so I’m good on keycaps. I also have my mat and coil. I know I am a disgrace to keyboard enthusiasts, but I don’t like thock. It’s ok I guess. I luv those smooth clacks like alpacas. However I still don’t know which linear should I get; linear gang btw. Also, I have a variety of keyboards to choose from like the mode 65, Vega, and Keycult No. 1/65. (Yes, I also prefer 65% most) But, I hope people in this discussion have more experience on what I want. I know it’s based on opinion, but I don’t knowwww. Can anybody please help me decide.

Tbh my favorite board would be de KBDFANS KBD67 hotswap (got it in red) with ZEALPC Orange Healios (Silent Linears) and these babies are really fun and quick to type on.

Once my daily driver keyset is complete, I'll probably back off of buying keys for a while.
I do intend to eventually pick up another GMMK-TKL and one of the full keysets as my work keyboard.

My keyboards are pretty much the way I like them.
I collect keycaps because I like how folks take the time to make something other wise invisibly utilitarian worth paying attention to.
So I don't think I'm going to see endgame on my collection so long as folks keep making sets I think are worth keeping.

How do I use the configurator for my drop carina?
I just got my drop carina and put it together. I wanted to remap some of the keys to move my arrow keys, and also figure out how to change the lighting. I installed the mdloader files from this site: https://github.com/Massdrop/mdloader/releases and have tried following two different videos PLUS the written instructions on github and keep getting the same error every time I try to run through the command prompt " ./mdloader --first --download massdrop_carina_md_configurator_1638835935_951210.bin --restart " The error I'm receiving is: " '.' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. " Please help, what is happening? EditFIX: I removed the "./" from the very beginning of the command prompt and it ran it, finally.

Do Drop keycaps fit onto Razer Blackwidow V3 keyboard or the GAMDIAS Hermes Gaming Keyboard (GKB1050)?
I'm looking to get some special keycaps for my keyboards but I'm not sure if they would fit on the keyboards mentioned above and below. For those that have purchased Drop keycaps for these keyboards, do they fit?

UK shipping
I found some pretty nice keycaps on this site, as I'm quite new to keyboard modding I'm quite curious to see how much shipping adds on to the initial price, any help? Thanks!

How many under bottom LEDs in Drop Shift?
I'm trying to map Drop Shift LED to the correct bit masks in `led_instructions`. However, I'm getting a mismatch in the underglow LED count when compared to drop's web configurator In configurator I've counted: 4 edges LEDs 21 tops LEDs 8 right LEDs 23 bottom LEDs 8 left LEDs However in my tests using QMK (based of default_md keymap), I was able to map only 22 bottom LEDs (instead of 23) starting from right to left at id4/bit 6 until id4/bit 28. When I configure id4/bit 29 is activates the bottom left edge LED. What's id the correct underglow LED distribution? Is there any documentation with the correct LEDs mapping? It's also worth notting that the comments in https://github.com/Massdrop/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/massdrop/shift/keymaps/default_md/keymap.c#L288-L303 are unreliable. Don't appear to have been copied from another keyboard, as dropshift uses until id5, and underglow starts at id3 instead of id2.

I saw what seems to be to me a fitting meme- the scene from the matrix with the statement that has entered the consciousness 'there is no spoon' being replaced with 'there is no endgame'. (I can't find the GIF right now, unfortunately)
For me, personally, I just like to experiment and create and collect- so I don't even know what an 'endgame' keyboard would look like that would squash that desire for the process, rather than a physical item.
So I guess my questions is- what is endgame to you? Or is it just something that you'll know when you see it? And why is it your endgame?
