What replacement switches are available for the CTRL keyboard...Looking for Cherry MX blue equivalent.
Just got the CTRL keyboard, and since had no other option than Halo clears...but not sure I like them all that much. I really like the Cherry MX blues. But not sure if the RGB lights will shine through regular blue switches. What is the best/closest switches I can replace with that will preserve the lighting effect. thanks

erickongI'm new to this, but if I were to buy the kailh switches, do I buy one for every key in the keyboard if I don't like the Halo clears they came with (since I prefer Cherry MX Brown keys, or kailh brown keys)

snspidey55Those Novelkeys switches are sold in packs of 10. If you didn't buy enough to cover your board, you'd just end up with mismatched switches.

Drop Mech Keys Meetup - May 11th!
It's been a while since we've hosted a meetup at Drop. We want to change that, and are inviting folks to come hang out at our offices (Corsair HQ) in May! The Details Date: Saturday, May 11th Time: 1-5pm Location: Corsair HQ (Milpitas, CA) If you're interested in attending this event (or any future events!), please fill out the google form below. Attendance will need to be capped at roughly 30 attendees given the space (edit: we can accommodate a fair bit more than 30 - only mentioned this to manage expectations as this won't be a mega-event with hundreds; will lean more toward the "intimate" side of things, sub-100). https://forms.gle/3Q8fwCKp4hjkVdv18

Is there anywhere I can get just the 6.25u stab? I have so many of the other stabs that I would love to have a way to be able to acquire more of the 6.25u without accumulating more of the 2u or 7u that I have just laying around

Checking on this on the 21st of April 2024. Is there an estimated date that pre-orders will be open for this set? No worries if it's still TBD!

Hi, is it possible to use the case with a different plate? I don't understand if the plate is separated from the case or not.
I use a DZ60 with a HHKB-style layout but with a 3-keys split-spacebar instead of a normal spacebar. I'd want to use the case but obviously the plate wouldn't match if they are made as one unit.

*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)?
