I just got a package via standard shipping. It as a cable, switch puller, and stabilizer. The issue is, it was shipped with DHL. DHL has NEVER had a package delivered to me that wasn't completely battered and looks like it fell off a truck. Switch puller also seems fine. The cable seems fine, despite the box being so damaged that the foam INSIDE is deformed. Although I have no way of actually testing it since I'm in the early stages of building a keyboard, fresh to the hobby. But the stabilizers I'm not sure how I would even make sure they're not completely bent. They came in a zippered pouch, with everything inside of a thin, plastic mailer, with no padding. For paying $25 for shipping, with literally no protection, I feel like I'm borderline being scammed. Would be at least nice to know who's delivering the package, or at least be given options. Or maybe even shipping high value, easy damaged things in a box with packaging.

Not sure what other's experience has been... but the Keyboard Club has been a pretty frustrating experience for me. The discount is supposed to be $30-100 USD. I looked at my history today, and there have only been a handful of times - IN 3 YEARS! - where my discount was more than $30. The odds of a deeper discount at a time I'm actually ready to buy are worse than the Powerball. I wish that Drop would start advertising this for what it is: Pay for the Club and you'll get $30 discount per month. It feels like it would be more honest than what we're seeing right now. After 3 years I canceled. I just can't justify paying for discounts that are (almost) always at the lowest end of the promised range.

It is good and has asmr and has led lights and you can change colour

I just bought a Rainy 75 and a few keycaps to kickstart my journey into the world of mechanical keyboards! Super excited for my first two keycaps, Sauron and the Eye of Barad-dûr—then comes the Balrog in keycap and spacebar! Loving these choices, and if you’ve got any recommendations, I’m all ears!" 🔥💀⌨️

Everyone has to start somewhere, and I started here. I've done my share of pre-built KBs and as I'm sure many of us here have noticed none are perfect. The keycaps are good but the keys are flaccid. The keys are good but the backboard is iffy. Building a full board is something I look forward to typing on. A combination of lubed Panda keys and dual-injection MT3 caps provide a muted feedback that's like laying back in a broken-in leather couch. The only downside being it doesn't want for rapid typing. The key cap design requires more "lift" than a flatter key, and the keys while fluid seem...laggy. overall a solid 4/5 overall.

This company should be ashamed of themselves. Advertising to young people who save all their money and want nothing more than a keyboard and advertise to them that it is in stock and will be shipped asap and they will arrive before Christmas. Only to "ship" and package and get their hopes up and it arrives and there is no keyboard in the package. Then to get on the website and it isn't even going to ship until January. This happens AFTER you have received their money and made promises that it was arriving, on it 's way, etc! Shame Shame on you!!!

I am wondering how much time does order takes to be delivered, when i was ordering site showed me it would takes from 3-5 business days is that accurate or it takes more time to be delivered

This is a 3D-printed keyboard, inspired by Piet Mondrian's composition with red, yellow, and blue.We used the BambuLab A1 3D printer and AMS multi-color 3D printing technology to achieve the transformation from 2D to 3D, maximizing the integration of craftsmanship and artistic pursuit, allowing colors to transition from a flat surface to a three-dimensional form, embodying beauty from the inside out.

Since we launched Roselle switch, it has always been loved by a large number of enthusiasts, due to its unique material and touch. In order to repay the love of fans, we decided to do a upgrade version of Roselle.  However, when it comes to product upgrades, it is not easy! Product upgrades is a complex process, involving market research, design, development, testing and other links, but I am a person who particularly love to toss, so after half a year of continuous adjustment and transformation of the mold, lubing technology upgrade and test, so there is the Roselle V2. If you want to know what changes we have made, please don't miss the following:   1. 【RGB diffuser】Make every breath of the keyboard full of charm In the world of keyboard, the combination of light and force can always create infinite possibilities, so we added a transverse RGB diffuser in Roselle V2.   This RGB diffuser design, can provide better light brightness and uniformity, bring a clearer and...

Drop should make a keyboard in the style of ancient grecian art. Like tans and whites and deep reds with columns and vases and clouds and stuff ya know.

Figure 1: Zeal's own photo of the first production bags of Zealios switches... I’m guessing that a good number of you reading this article right now clicked on with some sincere degree of confusion from the title. There can’t possibly be any way that ThereminGoat – the guy who has personally tried over 3,000 different switches – is claiming that there won’t ever be another switch like the Zealios, of all things. (I’m sure a few of you are further listing off at least a dozen other medium-heavy tactiles that you can think of that are close enough to Zealios on top of this, too.) While you would be right in calling me out for saying something of the sort about Zealios, the switches, what I’m talking about here is something bigger and more impactful – Project Zealio, a.k.a. the initial groupbuy announcement and ‘Round 1’ release of Zealios switches. I’m here to argue that not only did Project Zealio fundamentally changed the way that the mechanical keyboard community thought...

My wife wanted a keyboard that is themed after her college colors. It was exhausting/fun searching around for options. This hobby has expanded so much that the options are almost endless. I settled on the Daring Run DR-70f, Gateron EF Curry Linear Switches and DROP DCX Sapphire. She was very happy with the end result and most importantly, I got to build another keyboard. I love the layout of the Daring run and it was crazy affordable! Think I might take on the Flip 6 next.

My order number is DROP-5120899088519. I did not receive the cargo tracking number of the product I ordered. I wanted to ask if there was a problem. Because I bought it for my friend's birthday gift and if it does not arrive soon, I will not be able to surprise my friend on her birthday. Please contact me.

I've given my trusty old DROP ENTR keyboard a fresh makeover with my brand new DROP+MATT30 3277 keycap set and coil cable! Now, I can really feel like I'm back at the mainframe console where I started my tech career! First impressions: * The plastic is high quality, and the injection moulds are clean and consistent across all keys. The larger space bar appears VERY slightly bowed, but not enough to be noticeable when typing. * The keys are a few millimetres deeper than the original DROP ENTR keycap set. However, they still sit very nicely on the switches, and there is no wobble or play at all. In fact, the extra height, combined with the gentle slope emulating the old original 3277 keyboard, makes typing on this keyboard even more enjoyable than it was with the original keycap set! * The tops of the keys are very nicely concave, which makes finger positioning much easier than the more flat surfaces of the original keycaps. The home keys are slightly more concave, making hand...

Where are the LOTR Keycaps? It used to be availble without buying the whole keyboard! I got myself another brand of keyboard and wanted to get the Rohan keycaps and to my surprise they're not on the store anymore.

Years ago, this was a place to find some cool new keyboard stuff and a fresh rotating catalog of group buys. Now, it's basically the same exact items for sale that they had 2 years ago, along with a couple of updated models. Compared to before, there is now zero urgency to buy anything because most of the stuff is always available. In fact, you are a sucker if you pay the usual price and don't wait for things to go on sale! It was cool when you could actually expect to get a decent deal up-front on a solid variety of stuff in the group buys and not need to feel like you should wait a few months for there to be a sale. I feel like I see very few new items whenever I check back here, and of the things that are not exclusives many can be found for cheaper from a place that has free 1-day shipping. At least they stopped trying to push those all those ugly, tacky, lame superhero themed keycap sets so hard all the time. It got to the point where I just stopped opening the Drop emails...

I bought this keyboard three years ago from DROP, and it's been 100% dependable ever since. As you can see, here, I've substituted some of the original double-shot keycaps with spares from another old keyboard I had, just to give it some variety. But in the coming weeks, I'll be replacing the entire set with a new Drop + Matt3o MT3 3277 Custom Keycap Set (Because I'm a bit of a computing grey-beard). The anodised aluminium base, the key switches, and all the original caps remain in nearly the same condition as when I purchased this, back in 2021 (I think it was). I am a software developer in test, and I do a lot of writing for my philosophy hobby. Yet, this old workhorse just keeps on galloping along just fine! Best value-for-money ever, as a computer peripheral.

Having just returned from That Windy City Keeb Meet (a long-winded way of saying "The Chicago Meetup"), still recovering from the whirlwind that is a meetup weekend, I wanted to quickly put keeb to talk post (as they say) and share a bit about the event. Drop's vendor table at That Windy City Keeb Meet 2024 First off, if I ran into you at the meetup, it was great to meet you! I had a blast (as always) getting to know and reconnect with keyboard fanatics from all around the country. It never ceases to amaze me how many overlapping and interconnected hobbies we all share—certainly helps keep the conversations interesting as we veer off into retro gaming, photography, music, and anything else that comes up. All eyes on the announcement podium for giveaways 🫡 We were joined at the vendor tables by Sneakbox, Switch Oddities, and Tactile Zine—all run by amazing individuals. I wish I had taken pictures of all of their setups to share here. The only one I have is of...

So in my previous write-up, while highlighting the benefits of alternative and custom layouts, I declared without much evidence that QWERTY is not that bad at all, and also that it is in the top 2% of all the possible layouts. Well, like so many times in life: it depends. I did my original research many years ago - the exact value was in fact 1.82% -, but I forgot to mention that this is only valid in a special case: using my personal corpus and ruleset. It makes sense since back in the day I did this to support the design process of my own custom keymaps. Anyway, it was high time to redo my original experiment, dive in this topic a bit deeper, and reveal the logic and method behind my calculations. Spoiler alert: I was wrong! Or was I? ;) QWERTY Everyone knows QWERTY I guess. Christopher Sholes, Remington 2 typewriter, preventing jamming of type bars, path dependence, whatever. I'm not going to cover it here, check this previous write-up of mine if you are interested...
