Defect in original order, missing parts in replacement
Three stars due to a manufacturing defect that prevented the diffuser from sitting properly, but Drop was quick to get me an RMA label and ship out the new one. Will raise if the new one works out.
Update: New case had no defect, but strangely there was some writing on the inside of the case, the number 6 (or 9) and another number. Obviously since it's on the inside, there's no particular issue, but it was unexpected.
The replacement instead had no metal plates for the feet to magnetically attach to.
I might have gotten the wrong Color of a case on accident, but seeing it in person only makes me more excited to get the right color after i correct my mistake - The quality and feel of the case is amazing
While not inexpensive for two pieces of aluminum, these cases will add some tasteful color to your desk.
I especially recommend Midnight Green and Burgundy. Do reference the customer photos for a more accurate representation of the cases' actual colors.
PLEASE NOTE: To exchange your stock CTRL case to one of these, you must completely disassemble your keyboard... yes, that includes every keycap, switch, and stabilizer.
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.
