I’ve been waiting for new colors to arrive for my CTRLs hipro but I was expecting something classy like white, beige, silver, ... not these crappy pastel colors.
I too was excited to hear that high profile CTRL cases were coming, but these color options are pretty much the worst possible outcomes. Even if you wanted to avoid selling the original silver/grey/black neutral options that were part of the keyboard drop itself (as something to entice current owners of the high profile CTRL), none of these pastel colors are ideal options. White, purple, teal, and many others would've been a better first choice, as noted by the special drops that already occurred using those colors (other ALT and CTRL with keycap combos).
Also somewhat confused by the diffuser, since it sounds like you need it regardless of what version of CTRL you already own. Is the entire case a new design? If so, why is it even an optional add-on? Is it a suggested upgrade for existing high profile CTRL owners?
If your keyboard says Massdrop ____ on the bottom, you will need the add-on diffuser. And we're not stopping with these colors. There will be more. White takes a little more work because it will have to be a different finish (conventional anodizing cannot achieve white).
Yes, there's a Massdrop version and a Drop version.
I have a set of GMK Hyperfuse Origins expected to ship in about a month that I think will go really well with the lilac case. I originally was going to do silver, but I think the lilac will be subtle yet also make the keycaps pop.
Wish there were more pictures. Really not sure about the color is. 2. As several have mentioned other colors... are there other colors planned? White, the regular black/grey, darker green/blue?
