Definite Upgrade to my V1

As mentioned in other reviews, I bought this with the foam package, which was a significant upgrade in sound. It adds 5-pin compatibility and works with Via. I decided to upgrade the switches while I was at it. Very satisfied with the end result.

Before you buy

Difference from V1 to V2:

compatible with foam kit and all former drop alt case
5 pin support
VIA software support (https://drop.com/talk/9382/how-to-configure-your-drop-keyboard)
Screw in stabilizer support (Does not fit on the enter key, metal lining inside case and screw in stabilizer interferes with case closing)

Note: when installing switches support the hotswap socket underneath with your finger to prevent damaging the socket which is a common point of failure.

PCB mount stabilizers require modifying the case

I got this to replace the damaged PCB in my alt high profile that I purchased a few years ago. I figured since the PCB now allowed for it, I would replace the plate mount stabilizers whilst I had the board apart. After fitting some Everglide v2 stabs I found that the PCB didn't fit properly into the case due to a lip between the enter and backslash keys. I had to grind down part of this lip where the stabilizers interfered to be able to put the board back together. It's still an upgrade overall just keep in mind the original case wasn't properly designed around PCB mount stabilizers

Entirely depends on how much you're willing to spend, for the $55 it's still an upgrade over the original PCB and might be worth it to not have to permanently alter your switches to make them fit. If you're willing to spend the extra and would prefer something with an f-row, there are far better options out there now. Qwertykeys neo series boards are absolutely amazing for the price if you're willing to wait on shipping, and I've heard good things about the cstm series boards on here, though I haven't used one personally.

Mu5hroom @Mu5hroom much appreciated, Those prices are very reasonable on the 80s. its becoming harder and harder not to spend more on caps than everything else combined, but this seems worth it in the meantime. Thanks again.
