Product Description
The Drop ALT mechanical keyboard is just like the CTRL, but with 67 keys instead of 87. Absent of function keys, it wastes no space—but it still has a full set of arrows and numerals Read More

Best purchase of my life and I've adopted a kid.
Day one of using this keyboard, it worked perfectly. I loved the LEDs, the feel of the MX Browns, just about everything about this keyboard seemed perfect compared to my previous keyboard. Day two of using this keyboard, I was playing a game and about 30 minutes in, I hear the disconnect sound from my computer and also notice that the default light pattern on the keyboard stopped moving and pressing any key on the board did not do anything. When I went to click the reset button, nothing happened, so I had to power down my PC. To my surprise, the keyboard lights still stayed on even though the PC was powered off, so I unplugged the keyboard and let it sit for 30 min. After I plugged everything in and powered up my PC, everything worked fine for the rest of the day. Day three, everything that happened in day two was happening every 10 minutes of using the keyboard, making it unusable. Now I know that this is very unusual looking at all of the other reviews, but it is still upsetting. I have reached out to massdrop and they are sending me a replacement. Hopefully the new one works like its suppose to, and if it does, I'll update this review. Update to this review. 3/20/2019 They actually sent me the replacement before I sent in the defective keyboard which was nice (because I threw out the old box it was mailed in), and they also covered the cost of the return label which I can't complain about. I have had the new keyboard for a week now with no issues what so ever. Despite having to go through the exchange process, their customer support was very helpful and the process was very smooth. I am happy I have a working keyboard because this board is gorgeous! I know defects do happen and because I got one that was defective I probably would of updated my review from a 1 star to a 4 star, but because their customer service was flawless, this review definitely deserves the full 5 stars.

Dude i would buy it right now if it was offered in all black. This silverish color would clash with my set up.

Will the color be the only difference between it and the original? The reason I ask is because I may or may not have just purchased the ALT for my first mechanical keyboard and I didn’t read this specific comment. Wondering if I should have waited for the the black, especially if it also has some other changes to it.

'case color' in the pre-order page is already available in black, right? I guess that's the base color we can already choose?

Will you sell the keycaps separately? It is hard to match keycaps with the blueish tone of the casing.

I’ve seen a lot of post complaining about the stabilizers , is there any change?

Nope they are still the same stabilizers. Clipping and lubing them do help a little. Consider swapping the stabs out with GMK/Cherry plate-mounted stabs.

Can I customize the lighting patterns?

By default, you use FN+A to cycle between the presets, and then you can use QMK for any further configurations.
