i like that its a hotswappable PCB and the quality is nice but the only one thing i dislike about the PCB is that it's only a three pin so switches are limited preferred it to be a 5 pin but over all a good pcb!
It's great but still waiting for the 5 pin updated Alt PCBA coming next year.
Just what I needed to finish my Drop Alt High-Profile Off-white keyboard after purchasing this case a few months ago. It is unfortunate that they won't be releasing the updated PCB with 5 pin switch and QMK support until next year. Overall it's the same PCB that comes with any drop alt barebones kits.
At first, I was really pleased with my Drop ALT PCBA because it allowed me to build another Drop ALT keyboard with spare parts I'd already collected. Unfortunately, after 2 weeks of use, I was rather disappointed that one of the solder pads detached from the board and rendered my L key unusable. Resoldering would not attach the solder pad as it was completely separated from the board itself. I contacted support and am awaiting a (backordered) replacement. We'll see how long that takes as I was forewarned of a delay...
ToastedNuggetsWell I literally just got my board, and it’s already duplicating keys and not responding. I have never seen such horrible quality control, this is insane lol.
I ordered this as a replacement for the original PCB for my Drop Alt, because one of the sockets on the original broke off. I have only changed the switches a couple of times with the replacement PCB but what do you know? One of the sockets broke off the replacement as well. I guess when changing switches, the PCB should be removed from the keyboard and supported from behind. Who knows when they will have this in stock again?
Very Expensive for a PCB, Ugly Traces, Finnicky with USB cables
55$ is overpriced for this product: no QMK/VIA, autorouted traces, other places have this same type of board for 40$ with more features (including hotswap)
You need it to use Drop's keyboards so it is what it is. If they had just added some nice, colored masking and cool Drop branding and a sane looking trace layout then maybe I wouldn't be as upset by the 55$ price tag, but as it stands I've never seen a PCB with such poor attention to detail (outside of maybe the early whitefox PCBs, but those came out in a time where building your own keyboard was a much newer concept)
You pay 55$ because drop has locked you into their ecosystem. On the surface, everything looks and functions fine, but beneath that it's an inferior product and somewhat makes me regret buying one of their special edition cases.
It also does not work with all USB-c cables, so look out for that one.
Decent pcb, obviously only for the alt so can't really complain. But when changing the keyboard layout, I ended up killing one and had to buy a new one and the customer service was awful. For that I'm giving a low rating.
