Long Wait and Button Prints Erase

It's a stunning keyboard, but those are points which would make me second-guess whether I want to spend that kind of money on a product with these issues:

Took ALMOST a year for it to arrive - Had to go back and forth with the support team, and they kept pushing the delivery date. I felt quite displeased to hear them defer the blame to their manufacturer without providing me with clear dates.
Some of the keys are painted on the side, and that paint started erasing very easily. I have had this keyboard for about 5 months, and the paint is almost gone just from my finger grease, even after washing my hands...

I am split about whether I can recommend it in good faith, as while there is nothing wrong with the keyboard, I would expect for that price to not have these issues.

A review for the average buyer

I ordered this keyboard in September of last year while it was still in stock, but didn’t receive it until January 2025. So now that I’ve had it for almost a year, here are my thoughts. This is my first mechanical keyboard and overall, I really do love it. I’m a total novice when it comes to tech, so I can’t speak to the specs or complex performance details, but setup was easy and straightforward. Everything you need to swap keycaps is included (though I still haven’t gotten around to actually doing it). Compared to the cheap wireless keyboards I used before, the difference in sound and feel is huge. The keys are a bit loud, but since I use this in my home office, it isn’t disruptive—and if it bothers you, lubricating the switches is an easy fix. Even though the keys are printed in Elvish, there are tiny English characters in the bottom corner of each key. It takes a little adjustment, but if you generally type by muscle memory, it’s not too much of a hiccup. My only wish is that the number row and function keys had clearer labels, because that’s where I get the most confused. My biggest functional issue is the lighting. The keyboard comes with a guide for changing presets, but none of the presets actually match the cheat sheet. There’s software you can download to customize the lighting, but I couldn’t figure it out, and when I try to dim the keyboard’s lights, it just opens the search bar on my laptop. Nearly a year later, I still haven’t solved it. Comfort-wise, I like the smooth, ceramic feel of the keycaps, but the concave shape can be tricky to type on if you have longer nails. The real issue for me, though, is the height. The keyboard sits pretty tall and slightly angled, which makes it uncomfortable to use for long periods of time. Because I use it mostly for writing—creative projects and academic work—I find myself taking frequent breaks to relieve my wrists. I use a wrist rest, but it isn’t thick enough to fully compensate. If you plan to write or type for hours at a time, this might be something to consider. Aesthetically, the keyboard is stunning—exactly like the product photos, if not better. The colors, the artwork, the engraving… the craftsmanship really shows, and I don’t regret splurging on it for that reason alone. That said, the shipping experience was rough. It took several months to arrive with very little communication from Drop. They did offer a refund, but I declined because I wanted this keyboard so badly. Based on other reviews from this collection, the shipping/manufacturing issues seem pretty common. For the price point, customers deserve better communication or compensation when delays happen. Overall, I’m glad I bought this keyboard. It’s the nicest keyboard I’ve ever used, but if you’re just looking for something for everyday typing and don’t care much about aesthetics, the cost probably isn’t worth it. For writers, collectors, Tolkien fans, or anyone who cares about the experience of using a keyboard, it’s a beautiful piece. I also filmed an unboxing and shared my initial impressions on my TikTok (@vias.desk) if you want to see what comes in the box.

Better in real life, the sound is not irritating at all and the keyboard feels very nice for both work and gaming. Also so many light patterns to choose from.
