Received my keyboard today. A lot of good... a bit of bad... Mostly good, though! Build quality and appearance are excellent. It's a beautiful keyboard, and beautifully made. It's a joy to type on (I got Kailh box browns). 

Here's what I've been able to figure out so far (I use this on a Mac):

FN + M (hold 2-3 seconds) = Mac Mode/Windows Mode Toggle (CapsLock flashes when toggled)

FN + Top Row key (1 through =) = F1 through F12

FN + Delete = Sound mute/unmute toggle

FN + PgUp = Increase sound volume

FN + PgDn = Decrease sound volume

FN + Backslash = Cycle through lighting effects

FN + Esc = Solid color backlight

FN + Enter = Change color of backlight

FN + Down Arrow = Decrease lighting brightness (Turn all the way down for OFF)

FN + Up Arrow = Increase lighting brightness

FN + Left Arrow = Increase speed of some lighting effects

FN + Right Arror = Decrease speed of some lighting effects

FN + Spacebar = Freeze some lighting effects (Lights stay on, animation stops)

FN + CapsLock = Change color of CapsLock indicator
(TIP: Turn CapsLock ON first to see what color you are selecting.)

LED under `/~ (Backtick/Tilde) = Battery indicator. Pulsates green while charging, Pulsates red when battery is low.

Reset the keyboard (Hold 4 corner keys: Esc + Tilde + Control + Right Arrow)

Hold FN + Backspace for 2 seconds until Backspace flashes = Enter record mode to save a profile. While in record mode you can cycle through the color of each keys backlight until you get the color you want. FN + Backspace = Exit record mode and save profile. FN + Backspace = Recall saved profile.
NOTE: This will let you edit and save 1 profile. There's a way to edit and save 2 profiles using the FN+PgUp and FN+PgDn keys. Haven't figured that out just yet!

FN + Tab = Is supposed to set light sleep time, but I can't get it to work! Caps light flashes once for sleep after 2 minutes. Caps light flashes twice for sleep after 30 minutes. Caps light flashes 3 times for no sleep.

The yellow accent keys look nice... UNTIL you turn on any lighting effects. The light shines through the yellow plastic in spots.

Bluetooth:

FN + R = Toggle Bluetooth on/off (Q key backlight flashes while waiting to be paired)
Mac displays a code to type on the keyboard to pair. (Q backlight goes out when paired)
I've not had much luck with Bluetooth yet. Disconnects as soon as I unplug USB. (Edit: DUH! Turn switch on bottom of keyboard ON before unplugging!) (Another edit: Switch is not the entire problem. Still having problems getting Bluetooth to connect and stay connected!)

(Edit again: Updated command list with additional functions from translated manual)

jasonnnI can't say I've ran into that issue... is there anything in your OS settings that might change that? I've used it on MacOS and Android and haven't seen that but I'm just a user :)

1st,is this programmable? 2nd, what are "kailh box clear"? Are they hako clear box switches? Or are the kailh box crystal? 3rd, does the PCB accept PCB mount switches (5pin) or only plate mount (3pin) switches? 4th, how big is the battery? (How many mAh?) 5th, can we get a picture of the plate and PCB(both sides of PCB would be extremely helpful!)? (I know I won't be able to swap to a different case due to the odd cable location, but it would still be helpful) 6th, does it have an on/off switch?

amthedoctorReal question is where do you download the software to program? Trying to figure out what platforms it supports. That link doesn’t describe.

Fair enough. I do agree that QMK would be brilliant. My mileage varies though - I have a fairly low bar to get over for programmability (it needs to be there, but I'm probably going to use it once ever), as I tend not to use layers much if at all. I really just want to be able to force on-keyboard CTRL/WIN/ALT to map to work mostly like MacOS. I'm trying to bend reality to match my muscle memory, basically ALT/WIN/CTRL so the third key in from the left works for CTRL-C/CTRL-V etc. Yeah, I know this can be done at the OS level or in SW, but my work issued laptop is quite locked down so I'm unable to remap on the Windows side.

Still reserved for shipment for me. Emailed drop support but no response yet. Been thinking of doing a chargeback at the end of the week anyone else going to?

cola256It's pretty unprofessional that we reserve & pay for a product months ahead of time and there's absolutely no communication from Drop regarding the status. Definitely going to request chargeback at the end of the week if there's no updates.
