This post helped me a lot during my build (first mech build). Thanks!
I wanted to say, the top and bottom of the case become easier to separate if you use 4 guitar pick shaped pry tools. There are 4 clips at the top edge and 4 clips at the bottom edge where the two halves clip in together.
Having a lot of trouble configuring the board unfortunately. I would like to add a layer (I think that's what it's called) where I can use the numpad keys. The software for this keyboard is horrible. I would like to use via or qmk but I don't know anything about that nor whether this keyboard is supported.

I see screws on the plate, does the screws screw the both the pcb and plate to the bottom case or not ? And also how does the top and bottom case lock together, by screws or by clips?

Tkl_onlyYes, the screws go through the plate and the pcb to secure it to the bottom of the case. The top snaps into place with clips, but does have a single screw , accessed on the bottom of the case. I’m about to change switches, so I’ll take the whole thing apart & document with pics. Stay tuned.

Tkl_onlyNew pics have been added. A minor correction about the plate/pcb/case. The plate screws onto the pcb which simply sits on the bottom of the case. It’s secured by the snapping cover & that 1 screw on the bottom.

In case anyone is wondering... the gk87s does NOT fit inside the Drop CTRL case. I was really hoping it would. Just imagine a heavy as hell, wireless Drop CTRL keyboard.

Hi, wanted to ask the casing's color, is it like really dark black or it's more of a lighter greyish kind of black.
Seeing your picture here, it looks like your keycaps's color black is lot darker than your casing, can you confirm ??
In comparison is the casing color dark as like Filco Majestouch, Leopold FC750R ( Black ).

gh0st47Glad I could help! That keycap set is a bootleg of the GMK Night Runner set. Not GMK quality, but still very good. Not sure if it'll let me post a link from that huge online bookstore, but here goes... https://amzn.to/3psX13N
If it removes the link, you could always search that huge online bookstore with the search term "onecap night run".

DubbloFollowing. Man I messed up my Filco TKL trying to mod it and getting this as a replacement. Hoping it isn't too much of a difference in quality. Not a fan of the smooth ABS shell but I'll get used to it.

DubbloVery good. It's plastic, as are all the GK & SK keyboards, but thick, good quality plastic. It is a bit difficult to open though; much more so than their other keyboards. There is a retaining screw on the bottom, under a QR code of all places. Once that is removed, you'll still have to pop the top off. The features are the same as the GK61, GK64, etc as far as the lighting. And yes, It includes that questionable little speaker bug installed by a nameless, faceless person in a communist country that makes your keyboard's lighting pulse to your music... and coughing, which is important during a pandemic. A great keyboard is worth a little paranoia over privacy concerns, right? :D

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!

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
