I couldn't be happier with this board. It's solid, has a good weight, and a smooth finish that seems very durable so far. The hotswap is a nice feature as well. I can solder, but it's a bonus not having to. I know the stabs are garbage, but if you're buying a barebones board, who cares. Just buy better stabs.

Would recommend to a friend.

Much More than expected
I already have low profile ALT, but this High prof is much much much better than low. I like this heavy weight. Actually It's lighter than other expensive alu keyboard including brass weight, but it look good and competitive.
I bought a black one and I am now thinking about buying gray more. I really recommend this High profile, Don’t waste your money on Low profile.
p.s. Do not waste time to use the stock stabilizers. throw it away.

Are you guys ever going to update the awful stabs for 200 ? Competition has heated up so much. It makes no sense to pay that much.

Just received my alt keyboard the yesterday, after assembly the whole row of "qwerty" does not work correctly. while pressing "tab" it will ouput "qwerty" and if I press "y" it will output "yuiop", pressing anything else in that same row of keys will result in multiple keys in the same row being pressed. I have flashed a default configuration on and reset the board and nothing fixes it. Using a keyboard test online it verifies that pressing anything on the same row will output multiple keystrokes of the same row. Contacted customer service about it and now I am waiting on their response to fix this issue. While I wait on a response does anyone else have any experience or the same issue?

The Drop CTRL keyboards are absolutely terrible. Sound like crap, I get double registries and no registries all the time. Just Horrible, nearly threw it out of the window. The fact that they are asking 200 USD for a 3 pin Hotswap keyboard show how out of touch these guys are. What a shame. I wont touch a Drop keyboard anytime soon, especially now while we have great alternatives that are better build for same price or even cheaper.

I have recently purchased this barebones keyboard, used the firmware and now the keys "3" "R" and "K" don't work. Any possible fix, or do I have to reset the keyboard or send it back?

Black or Gray , which goes better with most key colors?
I have a black one but am thinking that gray might go better with more colors?
