scottluYea I agree with sadiq, if you can't wait for GB dates I suggest finding a different hobby or buying prebuilts from name brand companies.

scottluThis is a really fast turnaround by hobbyist keyboard standards.

Incase anyone is wondering, the sockets are 3-Pinned sadly.... For this price, it was almost too good to be true, there had to be some catch. Although for this price point, I still think nothing rivals this package for the price. 145$ for a hotswap, south-facing led, full-alu case, carrying case & accessories, this has to be the ultimate beginner entry kit. The sheer value is insane.

I have bin in this hobby for so many years even before the first poker keyboard and I have had to pay what I said on several boards. I do have to admit it was not dhl but the regular postal service. I even went as far as to voice an official complaint a futile exercise I don’t recommend hahah

Have you seen the Womier and GK boards? Don't officially support QMK, but some community members are working on getting it on those boards. Could possibly happen with this board too, depending on the micro controller.

Z.QuekI just had to finish up a PayPal dispute with kprepublic after never receiving my order(from the beginning of June) of switches from their own website. I guess at least Aliexpress would have your back, but I don't think I trust kprepublic as a seller right now.

Anybody know whether this is a 3- or 5-pin hotswap? It would be super great if Drop would start adding this to all hotswap specs, but they never seem to.

Found a short review of the board on YouTube video but it's in Chinese. I don't speak Chinese but it sorta answers quite a lot of the questions on here. Stabs briefly shown at 2:12 (looks plate mounted) and weight is at 0:45 (about 1.8kg). https://youtu.be/rXRSsRDLAiI EDIT: Found another review, this time in English: https://m.imgur.com/a/L56ODw8

Can never have enough! I'm onto my forth with one still in the mail but I'm keen on this one too. I'm deciding on whether to get the Blue but it looks like Purple from the images. What do you guys see?

willyhopurple-ish imo, a lighter, more intense blue would fit better imo. Somehow this Board has 3-4 small letdowns which stop me from ordering it and the color is one of it.

So what's the difference between the ctrl and this? Barix seems to be high profile, ctrl is low profile Barix doesn't have led diffuser on the case, ctrl does Case color choice Is that about it?

whomad1215also the DROP uses QMK which is a much better software IMO compared to the one for the BARIX

Get the id80 v2 instead. It has PCB stabilizers.

Key2Lifeor if you don't need RGB, get the ID80 v1; cheaper, 5pin sockets, QMK, PCB stabs, etc.

seh0nkyv2 has 5 pin sockets and qmk, and v1 has rgb... these are not the differences in the versions. screw stabs can be installed in the v2 if you buy separately.
it's so funny that this is a $145-175 board and it still has better stuff and packaging than the Drop CTRL.
