If you're new to the world of Mech keyboards, this might be for you

If you are just dipping your toes into the world of mechanical keyboards, this might be a great "launching pad" for for you to try, especially if you like to tinker and care about the customization possibilities with this keyboard. First off, out of the box (I chose the Linear Yellows), it's a pretty decent typing experience. With all the materials inside this keyboard, you are definitely not going to feel anything hollow or pingy. Second, the keyboard feels pretty solid considering its plastic makeup. It's a much better quality from what I was expecting. So as I said, if you like to tinker, or love to customize, then this keyboard is definitely for the creatives. With all the color choices and even options to change the base case for one of the two available Frost options, you have a pretty broad canvas to work with. Me personally, I started out with the Black Aluminum faceplate and Black Mirror case weight. With those two options alone, this thing feels like a tank! If the PC plate and switches offered aren't quite to your liking, you have a bunch of options to choose from for the latter, with no less than 4 other materials to choose from (CF, FR4, Aluminum and Brass) - you can even get swap out the PC color to your choice of Black or White (it comes with the plate that matches your case color). The feel is good - sure, there's probably a long list of keyboards that many would argue feel "better" than this, but make no mistake, in my book, it feels pretty decent quality for what this keyboard is. Of course, I can't continue without mentioning all of the faceplates available for this thing, which definitely is the highlight of this board. The magnet-held faceplate mounting design is pretty solid and results in a satisfying click when it fastens; in the case of the aluminum plates, it will sound more like a solid "Thunk"! Now, what's NOT to like? Well, some would argue that maybe it's probably priced a bit higher than it should be but just like I did, be on the look out for sales. I got mine during one, and am pretty happy with what I got relative to what I paid for it... Others might point out the fact that this is a PCBA design (no separate daughter board) with the concern that the connector will move with the flex of the board, but IMHO, the design took this possible movement into consideration; there is plenty of space around the port for this movement - just don't use a cable with some crazy thick molded connector boot around it. Overall, I am completely satisfied, and I'm probably one of Drop's favorite kind of customers already. I've purchased 3 other faceplates and have also purchased a White barebone model for further customization fun down the road. I would totally recommend this if you are relatively new to the space and aren't already influenced by "top tier" keyboards that this definitely isn't trying to compete with. It will definitely be a playground for playing around with different Deskscapes like the ones they regularly feature here.

Awesome quality and value

Pretty sweet right out of the box. Super creamy. Wish the switches were a bit springier for gaming but it’s great otherwise!

I'm not sure

It's been almost a year since I bought it. But already 4 keys are having some chatter issues. It's not too bad, but it happens sometimes. Changing the switches didn’t help, so I think the problem is with the PCB. Other than that, it’s a great product for the price. It’s easy to mod and easy to build.

Solid keyboard, stealthy

Loved this keyboard. I received it quickly from Drop. The keys are so nice. I thought at age 73 I could get by without the 10-key. Well, I do a lot of work with spreadsheets and a lot of numerical data and I quickly found out it was too burdensome for me to do without the 10-key. So, I had to send it back, reluctantly. The return process was long, however, Drop kept me posted on the progress, which was very cool of them. It really is a nice keyboard and I would not hesitate to buy from Drop again!
