The Drop CTRL High-Profile is just like the original CTRL, but now it comes with a tall CNC-aluminum case that covers the switches. Machined to be 6-degrees, the case is ergonomically crafted for a natural feel—and it’s quite a bit heavier than before Read More
I just received my replacement keyboard since the first one had a severe pinging with every keypress (in the key of b-flat - you can sing along with it). The replacement has the same pinging. It's clear that it's not an aberration, and just a feature of the PCB. Has anyone had any success using Sorbothane sound dampening material inside the keyboard to stop the pinging? If not, I may just have to give up and try a different brand.
so I'm still very new to the mech keyboard community and this is my first one but seemingly the "r" key sometimes just doesn't input when fully pressed I'm not sure if it's a hardware thing or if there is anything I can do to fix it, any thoughts?
Does the Drop High-profile keyboard come with feet or tilts?
Also, a friend a mine got a Drop Ctrl keyboard recently and his keyboard was not wrapped in plastic and the two little holes where the key puller and switch puller were empty. Different to what is seen on unboxing reviews.
Its not used is it?
For clarity sake, I only meant if the keyboard itself was enclosed in some type of wrapping (plastic or whatnot) as compared to other unboxing reviews of the Drop Ctrl.
Packaging has changed over time. I have an older Massdrop CTRL low profile, and a newer Drop ALT low profile. And they have difference cardboard boxes. The older CTRL has a little wrapper
Received my keyboard today. Every keypress has a metallic ring associated with the switch hitting the plate. It's a B-flat tone with each and every keypress on every key on the board. I've also gotten some minor chatter with 2 keys so far, but not reproducible. This is really too bad since apart from some really rattly stabilizers, this keyboard hits on all cylinders. It would be nice to be able to prop it up a couple more degrees, but there are no magnetic risers on this board - just a natural 6 degree tilt you cannot alter. The metallic ring is a non-starter for me though - it drives everyone in the room nuts. I'll have to return the board. I imagine if you band-aided every switch, you might fix the problem, but I don't have those skills. I'll be contacting tech-support to return the board.
Anyone know if a Sorbothane insert would fix this pinging problem? Drop is sending me a new keyboard, but I have my doubts that the problem was a one-off.
Had the keyboard for about a week and noticed that the spacebar rattles quite a bit. Was wondering if anyone else had the issue of a rattling spacebar and if this is standard for the keyboard?
Is is possible to get a wireless/bluetooth version of this? It's (almost) 2021, there's not a lot of great reasons for this to only have a wired connection given its price...
It actually sucks a ton of power if you have the RGB lightning going. You would have trouble keeping it powered with batteries unless you turned the lightning off.
Nice cheap keyboard here, Just bought another one for my Family.
Decent quality at a far lower price, must be some kind of fire sale here to get rid of this model fast.
Looking forward to getting this one, so thanks DROP always nice getting another TKL: )
