Style: Halo True Color: Black
Review Image by evanbingham evanbingham
Switches need replaced, aftermarket PE foam added, stabilizers replaced, RGB a tad weak and needs a powered USB port and QMK to be used to its full potential. The stock switches I got were Halo Trues which have a terrible ping sound that reverberates throughout the entire board. Since they'll need to be lubed or replaced, the reason to get this instead of the barebones is for the included keycaps that are very nice. After all of these modifications, I'm finally in a place where I can say the board is perfect for me and I'm extremely happy with it. ... show more

    • Everything I want from a mechanical keyboard
Style: Cherry MX Blue RGB Color: Black
Review Image by MP MP
Before I get into this, I have to mention that the first ALT I received had a broken stabilizer. I've seen this mentioned a few times, so it seems like a common problem. I have dampener rings, so I removed all the keycaps and one of the stabilizer stems came off with the spacebar, but I contacted customer service and had a new ALT less than 24 hours later. Anyway, now for the review: I've used quite a few mechanical keyboards, but this is only the second one that I've owned. My first was a Cooler Master MasterKeys Pro S RGB. I love that keyboard. I went with blue switches, and my year with it has convinced me to never use a non-mechanical keyboard ever again. I began looking for a new one. Not that the Cooler Master needs to be replaced (honestly, I have had zero issues with it, and I'm sure I'll have it around for many years), I just wanted a better-looking keyboard. I spent a lot of time researching DIY boards, trying to find something that looked great, had solid construction, and had the potential for customization. I kept coming across this keyboard as a good balance between hobby and consumer. I knew I wanted blue switches again, so the typing experience itself wasn't something I was worried about, as I already know I love these switches. What sold me on this keyboard is the aesthetic, construction, and customization. Low-profile, RGB backlight and border, aluminum (I bought the black) case, hot-swappable switches (if I ever decide I'm being too noisy with the blues), and FULLY programmable via QMK. I've been using this keyboard for less than a full day and it's basically the perfect mechanical keyboard (probably way too early to say this, but I can also edit this review later). I flashed my customizations. LED colors, added a few key changes (like swapping esc with fn+esc, for easier access to ` and ~). I really like the textured keycaps, which I've read that some people consider "cheap feeling". I disagree. A few more things: Anyone hesitating because of the duplicate keystroke issue should stay away from the cheaper switches. This issue is almost certainly caused by the switches, not the board. I haven't read of anyone having this issue with the MX switches. That's what I wanted anyway, so, yeah, it hasn't been an issue for me. I believe the Halo switches are the ones that this is happening with. If you already own this board and you're having this issue, CHANGE YOUR SWITCHES. Anyone worried about any of the scary information online about having to learn to code to use QMK for this board, ignore it. I am a programmer, so I kept seeing those comments in reviews and forums and didn't think anything of it, just figuring I'd have to read some documentation to do what I wanted. Not at all. It's very simple. If you can follow about 4 instructions, you'll be fine. You use the configurator on Drop's website to customize, you download the configuration file, you download the 2 or 3 other files the site tells you to, and then you have to type a command or two in a terminal or CMD, but there is no actual programming required. This might be a small challenge for people that have absolutely NO experience with computers, but I'm confident that basically anyone capable of reading and copying/pasting can figure it out. That's it. If it's not the aesthetic, construction, or customization you're looking for, you probably don't need this keyboard. If you're just looking for a decent mechanical keyboard, you can get some great boards under $100 (or a Cooler Master for a little over $100) with the same switches, and some with RGB. For me, this purchase is more than worth it for what it offers. ... show more

    • It’s aight, but not for $200
Style: Halo True Color: Black
I have recently gotten into mechanical keyboards, so when I saw one of these on Warehouse for $88 I had to jump on it. If it were $88 new I still feel like I’d give it a 4/5, and here’s a few reasons why. The Good - It’s construction is solid. It’s very high quality (in build-quality) and that is the best thing it has going for it. The meh - This one is more of a personal preference, but I absolutely hated the Halo True switches unlubed. I feel like they’re polarizing though, so another person may absolutely love them; I like to bottom out when I type, and those switches are definitely for typists who glide from key to key with little taps. The bottom out force is wicked, which is why I had issues with enjoying it. The sound was also very springy and I hated that. The Worst - by far the worst part of this keyboard were the stabilizers. They’re rattly and sound worse than a $20 mechanical keyboard. It’s impossible to over-state how awful they are when considering it has a MSRP of $200 and is from a major brand. They’re not salvageable in my opinion. The glimmer of hope - After lubing the halo trues I actually enjoyed them and they had a really nice sound. I could have just had a batch of switches with terrible spring ping, but after lubing them they were perfectly fine. I still liked the keyboard the best with Gateron KS-3 Yellows. After a new set of stabs from EpoMaker the keyboard sounded pretty amazing. I also added some neoprene foam in the case, but for anyone else looking to do that mod buy the thinnest option. The foam I have is not very thick, but with such a thin keyboard it was a pain to close back up. Overall if you like to mess with keebs and want a good little project, buy one off Warehouse. DO NOT buy this keyboard for $200 expecting a finished product ... show more
