Hello!
I'm a novice when it comes to headphones, and I'm looking for a new pair for my PC setup. I live in the United States, and my budget is about 250$, though that's vague.
I don't have a ton of experience with audio equipment so I can't really point to specific preference about bass, treble, etc. That said, some deep bass is definitely appealing to do justice to fps/rts games that might feature big rumbly/boomy sfx. I also value good directionality for fps/tps and adjacent games (primarily warthunder). I won't be exclusively using these for gaming - also for music, so some versatility is welcome.
This set would be more or less exclusively for my PC setup, and I'm not worried about having to drive it on a phone or anything. Needing an amp/dac even on the pc isn't a dealbreaker, though. Between bluetooth and wired, I really don't care. I'm not that worried about audio latency with bluetooth, but I'm also not that worried about dealing with a wire.
A built in mic is a plus, but...
What are some 55g linear switches that sound creamy and almost clacky?
I was recently looking to find some new switch to put into the custom YUNZII AL68 build, and I really need the perfect switch, because this is going to be my daily driver. I am looking for something in the medium price range, preferably from HMX, and I need it to be creamy/clacky. I also need the actuation force to be 55-60g.
Does anyone know when and where or how I can possible get this numpad? I have all the other sets but this one isn't available anywhere. Trying to finish a Q6 Max build for my wife and I have searched high and low and nothing. No reddit forum seems to have one for sale and no website or ebay listing has one either. If anyone happens to have a set they are willing to part ways with or if Drop decides to restock this set (I have seen bunches of people in the questions section of the product ask) that would be great.
I recently purchased Fiio X5 (3rd gen) and want to play it in my new car that only has USB input (no Aux cable input as the old one did). How do I do that? Thanks!
I need help finding a pair of new headphones. My budget is let's say 200-800 usd. The main thing I will use them for is watching movies and very casual console gaming. I mainly will be using them through an Xbox one x controller with Dolby atmos mode. I have no issue with picking up an amp to go from either the controller to an amp or directly to the Xbox via Fishkill out. I don't mind sound leak from an open back set so long as I can listen at a volume that someone talking in a movie would match a realistic volume, and not wake up my todler in the room nextdoor. My main desire is to find a set of cans that will have enough bass for movies and play nice with Xbox atmos surround effects. I did mention casual gaming but having a Mic is not something I really care about. Right now I'm using a pair of beats studio 2's and I can't find the words to explain how much I hate them, so please help me constructive suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Where to Find DSA (or Similar) Keycaps in ISO-CH/ISO-DE Layout?
Hey everyone,
I've been searching everywhere for DSA (or similar profiles like G20 or XDA) keycaps with an ISO-CH or ISO-DE layout, but I'm struggling to find good options. Most of what I come across is either:
Extremely expensive (costing more than my entire keyboard, which is an 80HE 😅), or
Unavailable / out of stock
I've already done a ton of research, but I feel like I'm hitting a dead end. Does anyone know of any stores, group buys, or vendors that might have something in stock ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! 🙌
Thanks!
Best regards from switzerland

I'm struggling to filter all the keycaps and figure out which keycaps are capable of backlighting. I have found side-lit ones, but I'd rather have the letters on the top. Can anybody help guide me... to the.. light?
I was wondering if anyone can help me install the software for my Drop Sense75 keyboard so I can be able to use the configurator and change my RGB settings and etc. I try and follow the steps provided in the guide in the Drop Keyboard Configurator app but I can't seem to get it to work, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Please help
Do you guys have a discord and if so, Could I have a link to that? One more question which do people prefer more when it comes to the drop alt keyboard high or low profile.
I was hoping to have a solid HiFi setup for FLAC and DSD listening with everyday use (conference calls + gaming) optionality. I was hoping to get a balanced setup that doesn't need to be upgraded for a long time (or ever!?) and I think DROP offers a lot of value in the following stack:
DROP + MRSPEAKERS ETHER CX CLOSED HEADPHONES
DROP + GRACE DESIGN STANDARD DAC BALANCED
IFI AUDIO ZEN DAC SIGNATURE
DROP + THX AAA™ 789 LINEAR AMPLIFIER
I plan to plug the DAC into my DS1621+ and run an XLR to the amp, which should be on my desktop.
Am I missing anything? It there a better value buy out there?
I currently do not own any DSD files.
I have drop alt v1 and I replaced the aluminum case with the drop alt ceramic case, however the problem is now i cannot see the rgb even with the diffuser. I can slightly see it on the north side of the diffuser but not the sides nor the southside. Please help.
Hey everyone, I’m coming back after helping others and moving to a NEW HOUSE (my first!). I would love to crowdsource some suggestions for designing my home office and video studio.
First of all, the room is small to medium sized, a 12.5 foot by 9 foot rectangle, with a window on one of the short sides.
I was thinking of using the other short side (opposite of the window) as a video backdrop. I don’t typically like cheesy green/blue screen backdrops, and since I’m not casting video games I don’t think I’ll need a permanent option to make the background transparent. However, I do have this nice brick 🧱/barn house red paint that I really liked on an accent wall in the living room. It would kind of subdue the background, me and all the headphone products I would hold or put on shelves would stand out against the dark wall. I’ve noticed that if I shine a typical soft white light at the wall it makes a nice golden halo that could look great behind me or a product being showcased...
I just bought the drop akatsuki indigo keyboard and it's perfect when the LED's aren't on. I have tried everything to turn off the LEDs but I couldn't. Does the keyboard not support turning off the LED or what?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.
Hello, I have received my new drop keyboard I was attempting to flash it using the Drop configurator software however when I do FN Left Control Backspace and use the flash function it disconnects. No matter what other flash option I choose my keyboard stops showing up in the configurator. The only option I found I can return to is the stock option. Sorry for my confusion I have never done this before.
I won a year of this over the holiday for $1, but other than the monthly reward, which is in reality a percentage off, none of the rewards mentioned seem to be active any more. Have I missed something? Is there a discord or subreddit? Just seems pretty meh if the only reward is a keyboard-only coupon every month.
