Drop ALT + SHIFT Dual Review

I created a video review of both the Drop ALT and SHIFT mechanical keyboards which can be found here: https://youtu.be/GFwgaMvsNEE A quick TLDR of what I explain in much greater depth in the video:

Both keyboards are of exceptionally high quality, feel heavy and solid, and shouldn't disappoint you in terms of how they are constructed.
Comparing the quality of my SHIFT and ALT to a Corsair Rapidfire I have, there really isn't a comparison. The Drop keyboards are of much higher quality IMO.
While construction was overall excellent, I did run into a small issue with my ALT where not all keys were totally straight, specifically the CAPS LOCK key on my ALT was a little bit twisted. Not a huge deal, but not something I want on a keyboard at this price point.
RGB is stunning, although the firmware can be a little bit funky (it takes many clicks down to lower the brightness on both keyboards, but once it's set lower, you can quickly raise or lower it.)
The firmware is a pain to update -- mass market keyboard firmware update software options are infinitely better.
Swapping switches is extremely easy, and the hot swapping has worked for me without issue
Overall I recommend a buy on both keyboards. They're great, although not perfect, thus the 4 out of 5 rating. Happy that I purchased both.
