    • Good keyboard but needs work to be great
THE GOOD: + Solid Aluminum case with pleasantly heavy weight + Vibrant RGB. Even without shine through keycaps, the RGB is bright and beautiful (provided you have switches with clear tops for RGB) + Easy enough Keyboard configurator that seems to be updating to make configuration easier THE BAD: + typing on the stock case is pingy (has a metallic ringing sound when typing) + Stock stabilizers rattle very badly and ruin the sound of your switches + High price point OVERALL IMPRESSIONS: This is my first keyboard so please take this info with a grain of salt. If you use this keyboard in it's stock form, you probably wont like it. The aluminum frame and layout of the board create a metallic acoustic mess that will leave you with pingy noises when typing and a slight ring when using your space bar as the rattle from the stock stabilizers drives you nuts. HOWEVER, if you buy foam inserts for the board (i bought mine off of StupidFish for $29 plus shipping) it MASSIVELY improves the sound quality. I also opted for new stabilizers (Durock plate mounted stabilizers were bought through amazon for less than $3) and lubed them and these made a huge difference in my experience with this board. If you're willing to spend the extra, roughly, $35 (depending on what shipping speed you use with StupidFish) then this board is worth it. Otherwise, a GMMK board might be better suited for you. ... show more

    • DROP CTRL
Style: Barebones Color: Gray
This is my second Drop CTRL deep dish keyboard to purchase. I see no quality difference between the black and silver models, both are a very high-end product. I pair each these bare bones boards with a set of drop+invyr holy panda switches and Matt30 key caps. This is a very high quality board with fully programmable firmware to suit any possible layout and illumination setup one would want. Be sure to use Drop’s web tools for this purpose. Living in the barrio here in Houston, I find extra security in wielding these boards which are well suited for home defense applications should the need arise. ... show more

    • Excellent tinkerer's keyboard, but defaults could use a bit of improvement
Style: Halo Clear Color: Gray
This is a solid keyboard for enthusiasts. I like the RGB LEDs, the hot swap switch sockets, and the weight--this is a heavy and solid keyboard! Dual USB C ports are a welcome modernization. The included keycaps are double-shot PBT with the satisfying matte finish you would hope for. The package includes a keycap remover and switch remover. I like the keycap remover quite a lot but the switch remover is a bit hard to use. I have customized this keyboard a lot. I lubricated the switches, clipped and lubricated the stabilizers, and added a band-aid mod to the PCB. The stabilizers are a bit rattly from the factory, though I can't fault Drop for shipping stock switches. After the mods, the sound and feel are excellent. The board is a tank and it feels super solid to type on. It absorbs sound and doesn't have any metallic pinging from the key action. I give four stars instead of five because this keyboard ships with incomplete firmware. Yes, it works, but it doesn't remember your settings when it's unplugged. Thanks to the fact that it's open source, I was able to implement the missing functionality pretty easily (and release my changes as open source), but I have to wonder why Drop didn't do it. I hope they'll ship future revisions of this board with my fixes. Machining quality is good, but I do notice some mill marks in the key well. It's normally out of sight behind the keycaps but the keyboard business is about the details. The surface anodization is a gray, darker than MacBook silver, and with a more aggressive bead blasting that leaves it more textured. I noticed some splotches in the anodization but overall you're getting a ton of machined aluminum for your money. With the mechanical and software mods, this keyboard easily gets 7 stars out of 5. If you're looking for a solid base to customize, I think you'll be pleased. But if you just want an amazing keyboard out of the box, you might be disappointed by the tasks left up to you. ... show more

    • Solid buy!!!
Style: Barebones Color: Gray
I wanted to replace a plastic tkl to a fully aluminum board and I kept coming to drop ctrl so I decided to give it a try. but I didn't want to pay the full price. So yeah I went cheap and purchased a used or renewed keyboard from Amazon. The caveats were stated clear but it is not exactly true. Like the description said it would have some blemishes, which I was willing to accept but when the product arrived, oh man! The board was actually in perfect condition. No scratches or blemishes of any kind. Super great. It worked too. The downside is that it was missing the feet and cable, which I can compromise as well. It is still 6degree and custom cable is where you want to be. I did get the key cap puller and switch puller, tho used but still in good condition. I still have to test the board before return policy expires but so far so good. I will be foaming it in the future to get a really nice solid sound from it. As is, it is a bit hollow. I've also thought if changing the stabs. But both Amazon renewed and drops products are solid. I would keep giving those options a chance for savings benefits. This hobby is expensive... I can't say much about the LEDs because I turn them off. And also the qmk because the on board defaults are good enough. Simple man simple life for this guy. ... show more
