I got the Midnight green case for my boyfriend for Christmas coming up... and I already know he will love it. The case is heavy and quality wise, I am very impressed. I have made quite a few keyboards now for people I know, and Drop is always a great company to choose from. The color is gorgeous with a matte finish, and the overall aesthetic is well worth the buy.
Nothing much left to say in regards with reviewing the keyboard's functionality-wise that hasn't already been covered in other reviews. Mine instead I'm focusing on how nice and cool the aluminium chassis looks in this darker purple tone, understated yet sleek.
Good quality and great color. Missing pads though.
This thing looks great. Unfortunately, the magnetic riser feet were missing the rubber pads, but that was easily remedied on my end. I'd still recommend it.
Change up the style without needing a new keyboard
I wanted to be able to change up the style without having to purchase a whole new Drop CTRL keyboard. I got the keyboard in the high-profile model so purchasing the low-profile case and a different color would allow me to with just a little work make it appear like I have a completely new keyboard.
I bought the Midnight Green case, to build a CTRL from scratch. Once I'd got all the parts together, the assembly was a breeze.
The only observation I would make, and it's neither positive nor negative, is that the screws supplied are hex head, rather than the crosshead that come with a pre-assembled keyboard. The supplied allen key works fine, but it was a surprise that the screws were not the same.
Gorgeous color, the purple is a rich deep berry shade somewhere between a burgundy and grape hue and goes beautifully with my MECH 01 keys but is understatedenough that I'msure it would look lovely with other non-purple sets too. It's a size upgrade from my ALT and I love it. Great build quality, easy to put together, and low profile is a great match for those of us on the smaller side with regards to hands.
When I opened the box I wasn’t sure if I was going to like Silvery. After I put everything together, I find that I really do like it. It reflects the RGB really nicely, and that was what I wanted.
