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.

Compact & Sleek
It's small, and it's perfect. I wish the stabilizers were lubed, which is okay. I can do that myself. besides that. it's perfect. I got mine with Cherry Blues as that was the only purchase option. I took them out and put in some Holy Panda X Clear Hand Lubed switches before I even tried it, and I must say it did the job. The initial review points that are attached to the Review is with the Blues.

Bought for my son
I bought the Drop ALT for my son because his MacBook keyboard started failing. After it came I told him that we could return it and get another keyboard if he preferred something else, but he really liked this one and wanted to keep it. I got the carrying case and he's been carrying it to school. I think I delayed getting him a new computer for another year.

Great build and style, with plenty of customization
This keyboard has all the functionality I want, and its metal construction looks great on my desk. Got it with Cherry Browns for not-so-loud typing with some feedback. The included skylight keycaps are fine, but I plan on getting another set to add a bit more personality.

Awesome keyboard. Easy to mod.
Stock keyboard is okay. Great keyboard after adding Stupidfish foam, new stabilizers, film and lubing switches and replacing keycaps. Fun project that pays off.

If you type a lot it's worth it.

Beautiful, but hollow
Ordered the gray, halo true version. It looks fantastic. I love the keycaps and the RGB diffuser - it's a rainbow sandwich. I love the key layout, matches closely to Glorious GMMK2 65%, it's concise and looks great. I also like the dual usb c port on either side, it's convenient. The halo true are a heavier tactile, they definitely need lubing. The case has no foam, I ordered some through another site and it was easy to install and completely changed the sound. Currently using it as my daily driver and enjoying it. I haven't tried any software yet, the included FN shortcuts give me access to all the keys I need for work (data analysis and programing).
