ask some people in the keycap designers discord
you will need to figure out kitting and making renders
i hope you will plan to produce this with a brand better than drop and not use drop's cheap and designless process
if you are too make these consider epbt or gmk instead of drop

So, since posting these, work & life has been way to hectic to get these made anywhere other than WASD. But that said, it seems like a quite a few sets of the WASD produced caps are out in the wild (somewhere between 10-20 I think). Post pics if you have some please!

What is a good replacement circuit board?
I spilled on my DROP CSTM80 keyboard and damaged the circuit board. Where can I get a replacement circuit board? The ones on the Drop Shop site do not look the same as the one in my keyboard. Can you please make a recommendation? Thank you.

A Few Obscure Keyboard Switch Modifications
Figure 1: Oh yeah, I meant it when I said obscure... There’s no doubt that mechanical keyboard switches have gotten increasingly better in their stock forms over the past half decade of releases. Despite switches now having tighter manufacturing tolerances, smoother factory lubing, and overall higher quality per dollar spent, aftermarket modifications of switches is still one of the most discussed topics by people freshly joining the hobby today. This hyper fixation on switch modding is due in no small part to the glut of keyboard content creators that produced videos, shorts, and all manner of content during the peak of COVID talking about the art and science behind lubing and filming for switches. For a while there, it almost seemed as if you had to have some content about lubing, filming, and/or ‘frankenswitching’ switches if you wanted to cut it as being a true keyboard content creator in the space. However, as people like this have flooded the internet with...

Is the drop alt v1 compatible with the official qmk configurator?
I use a Drop Alt v1 and much prefer flashing with compiled .bin files to using the desktop configurator app. Drop's online configurator has been refusing to compile keymaps, while the QMK online configurator at https://config.qmk.fm/ has keymaps for Alt v2 but not Alt v1. Are the Alt v2 and Alt v1 compatible enough that a .bin file compiled for v2 will work on my v1? Thanks for your help!

Drop CTRL Windows Key Not Working
I have had this keyboard for 3 years and I recently noticed the windows key does not work (I recently actually wanted to use it). I have looked through the keyboard configuator and flashed my keyboard multiple times and it still does not work. The GUI key is programmed but does not work. I am wondering if there is a shortcut I am missing to get it to turn on? Edit: Nevermind I figured it out. The one switch conviently had a bent pin out of all the keys and was not making contact with PCB.

Hey! I've only just stumbled onto the world of mechanical keyboards after seeing them pop up in a lot of my other hobby networks, and it gave me an idea. I'm a game & graphic designer with a love of good world & production design. I've always loved the graphic and production design by Ron Cobb for Alien (1978) and decided to do a layout inspired by his Semiotic Standard design. Yes, there are very littoral extrapolations of his work (re: copies) but I wanted to develop something unique but likely from the same universe (with a pinch of 1982's Blade Runner in there too).
So, I need help making these! I am going to do a first test set at WASD, but beyond that turnkey approach I have no idea how to have a set produced to cover more options. Some questions I need help with:
- Which companies should I contact to have these produced?
- How/where do I organize a group buy?
- What key profile pleases the most people?
- What alternate & extra keys should be included as a minimum?
- Are there any good templates out there for other keycap styles?
- Is there anything else I should know?
Thanks!Richard Flanagan
