Welcome to MT3 Noctua! 🦉
DROP is the home of licensed Noctua keycap sets.
Highlights of the project:
Licensed by Noctua, in Austria
1st MT3 doubleshot community designed set and it features doubleshot novelties
DEL key inside the Base Kit with no aditional cost (as it should be)
Special thanks to my Discord community for assisting me with the project, I hope you are excited.
For updates about this project you can stay tuned to this comment or join my Discord server for more, links below!
MiToCan you ask Drop to work on their shipping? It takes a month to get my stuff and thats ridiculous. In the time it took for my Noctua caps to arrive, I had packages arriving from china, england, korea, australia and all over the mainland US. All ordered AFTER my Noctua set shipped. Theres no reason it should take a month to get keycaps through the post
Help/advise before purchase.
Please can someone with the knowledge/experience confirm if these noctua keycaps are compatible with the DROP ENTR MECHANICAL KEYBOARD?
I've never bought anything other than standard keyboards, considering the items will be shipping all the way to the UK I want to be 100% I've bought a compatible combo.
The mat/connector/key set will go perfectly with my sleeper build! :)
Thanks!
Love the keyset you linked, reminds me of the keyboards from when I was in school :)
Decided to source the keyboard from the UK as it's my first mech KB/ease of warranty. Going for an ascend "The TKL". in retro white
Placed the order for the key caps etc now. excited!
It was a slog/hack putting my sleeper build together, using Dremel in a small kitchen as I have no garage!
I'm designing a part for the front to be 3D printed so I can stretch fabric across and have look similar to PC speaker covers.
Catch you later!

UKDanThis is so amazing, please keep us updated! In fact I encourage you to join my Discord server if you want, its a place to talk about mech keyboard projects etc. but sleeper-style afficionados are more than welcome and we are eager to see the next episodes of your project, good luck!

Did I throw up on my desk? Oh wait... That's just my keyboard.
Edit. I know there are a few people that are a FAN of noctuas colors but they just don't look clean to me.
EdTheNerdHibi’s Hibiki 65 should be on GB soonish. It will have brown (choc) and beige (office beige) options though it’s hard to tell if they will be a 100% match
EdTheNerdThe Novelkeys NK87 (either Aluminum or Entry) has a beige color that is probably the closest I've seen from an in-stock keyboard. They will likely go on sale for black friday, and these caps are bogo right now so its a good time to build.
Attention Keychron K2 users: the base set has all the weird-sized keycaps to correctly populate a K2, except the R0 Del that is included in the Hobbyist subset. I'm surprised. Nice! Even possible to use in an ISO K2 with the ISO UK subset. This set is HOT!
