Product Description
To put it simply, the CTRL mechanical keyboard has it all. Constructed with a solid aluminum frame with a built-in switch plate, it’s stable and fortified Read More
My keyboard history:
Keyboard #1: Ducky - LEDs died within a year. A piece of junk, but hooked me on mechanical keyboards.
Keyboard #2: WASD Code - great keyboard, lasted for a couple of years, but (a) the ABS keys eventually wore through and (b) there are better switches than Cherry MX Browns, so . . .
Keyboard #3: CTRL - fantastic keyboard. Outfitted with Hako Royal Clears for most of the keys, except for some keys (like Enter) which got a Kailh Box Navy (for a little click) and some keys (like the shift keys) which got Hako True Violets (my pinkies don't bang the keys as hard as the rest of my fingers).
The CTRL is probably the last keyboard I'll ever need. Don't like the switches? Swap 'em out! Don't like the backlight colors? Reprogram 'em. Don't like they keycaps? Buy new ones.
Now all I need is a 21-key numeric keypad to match it. (NUM Mechanical Keyboard, anyone?)
UPDATE Feb 2, 2021: Still love this keyboard. No double-typing issues (yet). Still waiting for a matching keypad . . .
Got mine yesterday and couldn’t be happier with it. The board is absolutely gorgeous. Everything works great and the led features and bright and vibrant. 10/10 would buy again but I hope they don’t make it again so I can lord it over all my friends hahaha. Can’t wait to get some of the key caps I’m waiting on from massdrop to customize it.

This MCU support package has a lack of support from the upstream provider (Massdrop).
There are currently questions about valid licensing, and at this stage it's likely their boards and supporting code will be removed from QMK in the near future. Please
contact Massdrop for support, and encourage them to align their future board design
choices to gain proper license compatibility with QMK.
jxliuThank you for reply and one more, if I fork a source code including LED effect at GitHub for CTRL, which one is latest production? please let me know the link.
jxliuThank you! Currently, production code does not save current LED mode so whenever I restart the PC, LED effect of CTRL becomes to rainbow mode. Is it possible to save last LED effect by editing the source code?
YSHanYou can try merging this PR https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/6068 , though we have not yet evaluated the safety of those changes. Non-volatile memory generally has a limited number of writes before it fails.
jxliuWhere can I find the original LED patterns that were included in 2018? I'm looking for the "Blue <-> Purple" LED pattern that's seen in early reviews. It appears that it was replaced with "Teal <-> Salmon"
I tried looking through the GitHub but couldn't find anything.
garciaf025We never had blue to purple built in as a default. You can specify it yourself in our configurator (or if you're comfortable with code, in the QMK code itself).
jxliuOkay, thank you. That's quite interesting actually, I've seen it on various different places online and simply thought it couldn't have been a coincidence. Examples:
