I loved how nice compact and heavy it was the moment I took it out of the box, the only thing that felt kinda strange was the buttons when I swapped them, but in the end it was a very beautiful product a nice clicky sound that is mesmerising…for the people who love clicky keyboards!!!
This was my first mechanical keyboard and it has been a rabbit hole ever since... Thanks Drop for such an amazing design, as a LOTR uber fan, this was a must-have.
I have been using this keyboard since it was released and I love it. The color and quality are perfect. If you're on the fence, I can tell you it's fantastic!
Insanely beautiful and amazing to type on, but with some issues
So I love the aesthetic of the keyboard completely--it is part of the reason I bought it afterall!--and typing on it felt great, and so did gaming on it, however, it had a few issues that made me get a replacement and then just put that replacement on display.
The words/graphics on the keys wore off in 2 days. I feel like that shouldn't happen so soon...!
Several of the keys had broken within a month, with having never even taken a keycap off prior to that point. The plastic hinges or whatever they are called snapped off the space bar, enter and shift keys, and made the keyboad paper weight. I would love to see this addressed in the future.
It was just too beautiful to use
Beyond that, I am extremely pleased with the keyboard. I did initially buy it for a collection, used it temporarily due to a tight spot, but if they can work out the kinks on these keyboards, they are going to be incredible. Also, that overall build quality is INSANE. Heavy as hell, but I love that!
Beautiful keyboard - horrifically bad switches and key caps.
The switches are just awful - non linear, with a catch at the end and zero actuation until they bottom out. They're absolutely awful for gaming, and mediocre at best for typing. The keys also have deep cups, which is just bizarre. It's a real shame, cause it's a beautiful keyboard, but I think the vast majority of users will have to delude themselves into liking the switches/keys.
I've been using the keyboard for around a year and the text printed on the side is practically gone which is somewhat annoying and just makes it look a tacky and I've wiped off the text just by scratching is a bit to try and make it look better but it isn't much better but other then that it's an okay keyboard
