Drop Ctrl High-Profile Mechanical Keyboard — Tenkeyless Tkl (87 Key) Gaming Keyboard, Hot-Swap Switches, ProgRAMmable, Backlit RGB Led, Usb-C, Doubleshot Pbt, Aluminum (Gray, Barebones)

The Kaihua Speed switches are better than I expected. Just breathing near one actuates it which is what I wanted.It's a good keyboard and a great bludgeoning weapon.

This keyboard has been amazing I love the feel and the leds. Im not using the stock firmware I loaded the QMK firmware and the option are prety good. The halo clear switches are so smooth im hoping to try holy pandas one day. Only issue i had was my a key double pressing but after removing the switch which got stuck has worked itself out. I'm hoping to have this keyboard for a long timeUpdateAfter a few months I started having keyboard chatter. After switch the Drop halo switches to Lubed GLORIOUS PANDA SWITCHES a few months ago. I havent had an issue since.

I opened the package and it seems like someone used it already. The spacebar switch and 2 other switches doesn't register when I press it. I expected a new product when paying a premium price for this. I'll be returning this back and stick to my cheaper TKL keyboard for now.

Bought the barebones variant for my work from home set up. After getting it set up, performing a few basic modifications, and installing my switches and keycaps, the keyboard is amazing. I had previously heard of this keyboard having issues with repeated keypresses but after using this for a few weeks I have not encountered this issue so it appears to have been resolved.Pros:- High quality, thick, aluminum frame.- RGB looks great- Multiple USB-C ports to use depending on desk set up- Hot swappable PCB (I hate sodering)Cons:- Expensive- Stock stabilizers rattle a lot (I swapped mine with authentic cherry stabilizers which have been great)- RGB settings reset each time the keyboard is plugged in; I have heard there is firmware mods that can fix this so I will be looking into that.Overall, the keyboard is amazing and I do not imagine needing another one for quite some time.

Bought because I wanted an aluminum-case mechanical keyboard that wouldn't ship from China and take a few months to get here. I bought used, at a discount, which really helps my value-for-money rating, since this is QUITE expensive at full price. Overall a little pricey (its what you expect from Drop) but a great board and case nonetheless. It even comes with some foam inside of the case, which isn't the best foam, but it works.I would buy this again, especially if it is going for a lower price (PLEASE dont spend $270 on this board), as it is a highly available Aluminum case and hot-swap PCB combo, if you want another option for a TKL with aluminum case check out the Glorious GMMK Pro (I would have chosen that if I liked the format of their keyboard better. it is only slightly less for about the same keyboard)For rebinds I just use Auto Hot Key, since I don't need anything crazy, and AHK is a very powerful language. I do believe that Drop supports flashing the firmware for this keyboard, however.It should be noted however, this board doesn't come with stabilizers (the one I got) and they are clip-on stabilizers. So buy that ahead of time if you want to use any of your bigger keys without significant wobble.
