Trouble configuring CTRL keyboard-need help
First, I am no programmer, so I may be doing something super stupid and not know it. But I am trying to add some new colors to my keyboard LEDs. I have tried following the directions given and I am not succeeding. This is the message I get in the CMD window. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

erickongNot that this is something you can do anything about, but what would really help is if Drop worked with the QMK team to get a VIA config up and running with some lighting effects.

Did you download your compiled QMK version from configurator? You need to place applet-mdflash.bin and your compiled QMK file in the same folder where you run mdloader.
Let's say your downloaded QMK (compiled) binary is 'CTRL.bin'. Then place this file into where your mdloader and applet-mdflash.bin are located. Then run command something similar to:
mdloader_windows.exe --first --download CTRL.bin --restart
Here is detailed instruction in Github:

*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)?
