Received the case today. Looks nice, but my stabs (Durock clears with gold wires) fit extremely tight compared to the stock case. So tight the keys stick down. A real buzzkill. Not sure what I’m going to do with this thing now.
After hearing everyone across Star Trek 2 and the internet put their thoughts down on the, uhhhhhhhh,..... what is this? A gen 1.0 or 1.1 or 1.2 or 1.21 or 2.0 or 2.1 "Drop family" board, I can say that MY viewpoint on these boards, which I think are capable of producing some very handsome or beautiful packages, is that my main "thought hang-up" revolves around having to cut any 5 leg switches down to 3 due to the PCB. Second up, for all the "mains" and the popular crowd is probably the plate and/or pcb mounted stabilizers. You've got people saying they want a "plain presentation" (high art) on keyboards that range from $500-1000. That's what I think. (2 schools of economics)
Any pinging with the Sense75 (cheap example to cite) that I might get I will chaulk up either "utilitarian value as counter-intuitive" vs jokes about machinists losing their hearing.
I look at this family/gen of boards, which I believe is (more honestly) something like 2.1/2.12 OR 1.50/1.51 with Sense75 being 3.0.
Whereas if you had (at Drop) 17,000 assembly diagrams and CAD files, then.... uhhh... whatever.
Outside of highly articulated keycuts (stuff like the Godspeed <edit: the original GodSpeeds or the SA Oblivion blah blah blah) for key caps, these "base plates/chassis" that are available on Drop are almost all or just "all" attractive to me. Time is time.
