How long does it take for a keyboard to come usally?

Does anyone know when the next batch of Preonic keebs are coming out? I suppose it would be version 4. I'd like to see one with a black POM top plate. Having QMK preloaded on the PCB would be nice too.

I want to make my first keyboard. I plan to do this in the zoom 75. I love this keyboard and the keycaps, but are they compatible. Someone please help me with this. Thank you in advace.

I mean the numlock side.

New to the game and looking for some guidance. Looking to build a CTRL high profile. Here is what I am going with: Case - High profile CTRL -Bronze PCB - CTRL V2 Board Foam Kit Switch- Kailh x Novelkeys Box Navy Stabs - 43 Studio RX78 Gold Plated screw in Cord - Red Samurai custom coiled aviator USB Keys - I am thinking Red Samurai but still TBD Question is, can I also use or do I even need the base weight? I want a heavier feel but can't tell if the CTRL case will even accept it.' Thx!

A tremendous number of Keycaps use different colors to highlight keys used in game playing. However, there are very few (one?) that help people with vision lost. Specifically, I would like a keycap set that has a different highlight color for the "F" and "J" key. I would like the rest of the keys to be either one color or, preferably, one color except for the usual highlight keys (ie, F4,F5, F6, Enter, Esc, etc.) Definitely not "ASDW," which has no non-gaming use, to my knowledge. I don't care much about what colors are used, but prefer darker colors like the Garnet keycap set. I have no vision in my left eye and only about 40% in my right eye. I frequently find myself putting my hands in the wrong place due to lack of visual clues. I know about keysets that use bars or deeper cups on the "F" and "J" keys, but they do not help me because I have scarring on those fingers. Can anyone help me obtain such a set? Thank you, David

Installed the v2 board into my v1 chassis, everything was working fine. Wanted to change LED config so I installed the Drop Keyboard Configurator app, but the board didn't show up in the Configure Keyboard tab. Noticed that it said that the QMK XAP interface needs to be enabled, figured maybe the board has older fw on it. So I flipped to the Flash Firmware tab, selected Shift v2, QMK XAP stock firmware, put it in bootloader mode and flashed. Got an error about a file being changed, then the boards lights went out. Now it is no longer recognized by windows, doesn't like up, and all attempts to reset do nothing. I started taking it apart and managed to find the v2 reset button (beneath Space rather than on the back) pressing it acts the same as unplugging/replugging - Windows tries and fails to recognize it. mdloader, QMK Tools, and Drop KC all cannot find the keyboard so it definitely seems bricked to me. So far Customer Support has just asked me to "reset the keyboard" and...

Hi, looking for BoW/Dark-Grey-oW Modifiers/Nav/Arrows plus (Print/Lock/Pause), along with ALL non-numeric number-pad keys (with × and ÷ instead of * and /). SA Profile ABS Double-Shot Not MT3 [I don't like the typeface as well as MiTo/SPK] Not off-white [unless you could also point me to a set of ASCII BoW Alphas] As a bonus, I am looking for a "HYPER" key and a "LINE FEED" key; the former I think I can find; the latter is almost a myth except for the photographs of archaic keyboards. [if an ivory-coloured set of MiTo/SPK SA profile (double-shot, natch) were to appear, with ASCII Alphas and × and ÷, I'd invest in it.]

My mechanical keyboard journey started when I fell into the rabbit hole around August 2020. Since then, I have tested over forty different switches, built or modified over twenty keyboards, and experimented with many different layouts. I usually carry a mechanical keyboard with me, and have built keyboards for friends and family members. Many consider mechanical keyboards superior to normal membrane keyboards due to their feel, sound, looks, layout options, software, and various customization options. While many swear by mechanical keyboards, they are expensive, and the landscape of mechanical keyboards is confusing and hard to navigate. That said, if you do decide to look into and possibly build one, here is some more information to guide you through the rabbit hole. The first thing you will probably notice while looking through videos about mechanical keyboards is the sound. Many people build their custom keyboards with sound in mind, and because of this there are endless jargon...
