Well build but suffers the typical issues that come with having an integrated plate
This is a tough one to review as it's a really nice board but suffers the issues of many boards with an integrated plate. It sounds a little hollow and "pingy" out of the box much like other boards with integrated plates. Oh, and the stabs need some serious lubing or changing over (I personally didn't change mine... after lubing they've actually been surprisingly good)
It can be somewhat resolved though modding. So on the topic of recommending the keyboard or not, it depends on whether you're open to modding it or not. Seeing as it's a barebones, I'd guess most people would be fine with a bit of work lubing those stabs (or changing them altogether) and modding, so with that in mind, yeah I'd still recommend it. It's by no means a bad board, although something like the Drop Sense75 and Glorious GMMK Pro might make a bit more sense (pun intended) to many.
EDIT: Just wanted to add a photo to show that this isn't your typical thin integrated plate... it's actually surprisingly thick and solid - and once you control the vibrations it actually sounds pretty good!

Solid quality but leaves some to be desired.
It looks pretty good and feels nice to use but some of the fine tweaking is a bit tricky on this chassis compared to some others out there.

Well built, not well designed.
The greatest flaw of this keyboard is its lack of customisability! Screw in stabs will NOT fit (comes with pcb clip in stabs), the plate and top case is one piece of aluminum and there is no space for foam resulting in a somewhat hollow sound. The pcb firmware and rgb keybinds were a nightmare, somehow qmk works (not easy for beginners), but the backlights (not underglow) are broken. Built sturdy and well finished, but greatly flawed in design. Had lots of potential.

The keyboard feels solid. It is hefty and has a nice sound profile to it. There can be issues with the LEDs but Drop Customer support can assist with that. Overall I love the build quality, but the QC needs work.

it's okay...
Have no real complaints with the product itself, it's needs-suiting. Not sure if it's worth $200 though.

Not even purple
The "purple" case I received looks very off from what was pictured. It's like a magenta color, and the per key white LEDs were red. After flashing the firmware, I was able to change the LED colors, but it was not per key, and the backlight color could not be changed independent from the underglow LEDs. While the build quality is nice, I'm not very happy with what I received. I could deal with the stupid LEDs if only the case was actually purple...

Not Very Purple Along With Other Problems
Like other reviews say, much more magenta than the images show, like nowhere even close to what the product image shows. Much more pink than it is purple really. This was the first of the issues I found. As soon as I plugged the keyboard in, every per key LED is red not white as advertised, and given it’s the ID87V2 PCB, I know it doesn’t have per key RGB so I can’t just go into software and change that. Additionally the modifiability of this keyboard is extremely low, the extremely thick integrated plate makes it so you can’t put any dampening material between the plate and pcb, and the acrylic backing fills in all the space behind the PCB so you can’t put any dampening material there either. The result is a ping keyboard with little to no solutions for its awful sound profile. To top the cake of this nightmare, it has extremely limited options for stabilizers, a majority of screw in stabilizers won’t go in without serious modification, and only works stock with clip in PCB mounted stabilizers. The ones it comes with are some of the worst I’ve heard

I was able to get a full refund for mine, thankfully. I really wanted it to be purple. I have the same issues unfortunately. A magenta case with red LEDs. Although I found out how to change the color of the LEDs, it's not per key and only 6 of the key LEDs work half the time.

I have a lovely, deep purple Drop CTRL case. It is the Drop Signature Series Sea Urchin Keyboard. The Cyber Siege and the Laser wave also come with the purple case. Before you get stunned by the Signature Series prices, add up the components and the price looks pretty good - especially when they are on sale.
