If you’ve been a Drop shopper for a while, you know we’ve launched more than a few exclusive IDOBAO ID80s. Now, we’re adding another explosion to our lineup with the Drop-exclusive Atomic Purple colorway. Perfect for the Nintendo 64 fans out there, this translucent purple acrylic shell shows all the inner workings of this exceptional board—just like those classic ‘90s and early 2000s controllers that are so sought-after these days. You’ll still find the same top-tier functionality: 5-pin hot-swap flexibility, RGB underglow lighting and per-key white LEDs, powerful QMK and VIA programmability, and satisfying gasket-mounted action. And now, you can enjoy all of those modern trappings in a 75-percent board with a keen eye toward gaming’s past. For next-level tactile experience that doesn’t skimp on retro transparency, we’re shipping this fully built board with a set of our Holy Panda X Clear Mechanical Switches and a complementary set of Keysterine Grape Keycaps.
If you’re like many in the Mech Keys community, your keyboard is your baby. Few manufacturers understand this better than IDOBAO, which takes its name from the Chinese phrase “ai duo bao”—or “make many babies that you love.” Bridging both sides of the globe, the company also stresses that the name can be translated to “I do bao”—“we do treasure.” With IDOBAO’s impressive quality standards across its extensive product line, it’s clear that both translations apply. From popular keyboards and kits like the ID75 and ID80, to beautiful keycap sets, accessories, and more, IDOBAO has earned its reputation by putting user experience first. Among the many manufacturers that don’t always deliver, that commitment—and consistency—is a true treasure.
