I bought both the standard and the max.
First, the standard are very good keycap trays for cherry profile keycaps. Hold everything secure, thick plastic, and stack well. The max on the other hand do all of that and hold so many more keycaps. All laid out on one plane makes your sets look really cool. Only downside is max doesn't hold cherry keycaps as well, but holds MT3 and SA. In the future I would love to see a max style of the standard trays.
These are easily the best keycap containers that I have ever used.
The larger model (the ‘Max’) can hold two complete sets of keycaps for a 104/105-key full-size keyboard, and look good while doing it.
I buy full-profile SA kits, and even the tallest Row 1 caps fit within the ‘Max’ model.
My only difficulty is to decide what to do with all my other keycap storage cases: I paid good money for them, and now they are worthless junk to me.
I am so happy to see that Drop is selling these storage trays again. Not only would I recommend this product to a friend, but I am about to buy a few more for myself right now.
Overall I'm quite pleased with the product. I bought one "Max" case. One issue I had with a previous keycap storage solution I bought from China was it could not fit high profile keycaps.
This one fits all my MT3 caps nicely but Cherry profile keycaps have a LOT of headroom. I made the mistake of turning it sideways once and all my Cherry profile keycaps went all over the place. So long as the case remains flat it fits all my extra keycaps nicely.
I got the standard size, which works well for lower profile keys, but you'll need a couple trays to hold a full set. You're out of luck if you try to fit SA or MT3 caps in the standard case. Otherwise, it's a great case and I plan on buying more when they're back in stock.
Would give zero if possible because Drop lives up to their name and dropped the ball again
The standard trays are now only sold individually for the same price as a pair direct from JTK or any other vendor. Better yet Drop is using the same product page for when they sold them as a pair so all reviews/discussion prior to my purchase was in regards to the pair and when I messaged them after getting 2 individual trays rather than 2 sets I was told "oh well fuck you" basically.
Buy from another vendor because doubling the price while using the same fucking product page is misleading and a dick move, what more could you expect from the shit show drop has always been though right?
Finally got those boxes and filled them out with my collection of different profile caps sets.
Only one star taken off - why? For some reason apart from only GMK, all other profiles I have - SA, XDA, MDA, MT3 - non of those really sit properly in the rows. Maybe they changed row widths in latest batches. Don't know.
Rows are very tight, even for GMK, some caps are squeezed down. It is not consistent on all length of the row - like sides are tighter than center. Weird. I thought only huge profiles will have that problem. Is it a problem? Maybe not, I hope it won't affect the caps with time.
Quality is fine, no scratches or anything. Hinges are ok.
Whole cases/boxes are a bit flexible, not 100% solid, but this isn't a problem. They 99% of the time will lay on the shelves, so it doesn't really matter.
Overall, good product, I would recommend it.
I bought one Max sized case to house some Cherry profile, SA, and a lot of DSA caps.
The SA caps fit like a glove and can survive a tornado without shifting around.
Cherry caps need a bit more care, they will upset if you make large movements but stay still during slight adjustments.
The DSA caps want nothing to do with this case and will let you know that. If you look at them funny they will flip, stack, and form primal architecture like Stonehenge in a heartbeat.
If you don't mind cutting a few strips of cloth or foam to sit them on that will fix most of your woes. Still, it's a solid case and great if you want to store or display your keycap sets.
A great way to organise your GMK keycaps, and much better than my previous solution of using a clear box that required me to dump out all my keycaps to find the one I wanted.
Note: these trays don't work for larger keycaps. For example, MT3 don't fit.
JTK tray should come 2 trays per set and some rows are tighter than other rows
The tray can hold keycaps as it describes, but sometimes the keys are stuck in a row, and sometimes the key is loose in the row. If you only order for 1, it will only come as 1 tray but you will need at least 2 trays to fit a GMK base kit.
The standard version does not hold a full set of GMK, you'll need to buy two or maybe three of them.
The Max version have enough space but it's only made for tall keycaps.
