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.

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...

We hosted our first mech keys meetup in years about a month ago (see here for a photo recap). Our team was furiously videoing everything during the event, and posted a bunch of shorts/reels to socials since then. Now they've compiled an excellent recap video showcasing the event. Grab a coffee, sit back, and enjoy the meetup. :) We'll see you at the next one! 🫡

As you may have seen, we just hosted our first meetup in quite a while here at Drop HQ (Corsair HQ, but they seem to like us enough :) )! It was a blast to get to meet so many enthusiasts local to the bay area—it had been 10 years since I was last hanging out with keyboard nerds in the bay, at KeyCon 2014. We had a great time hosting everyone at the offices, checking out all the very nice boards y'all brought, and sharing some of our own projects/spaces! I knew it would be fun to host in the Game Room when I first saw it in person, but seeing it come to fruition was still so cool. Alright, I'll stop blabbering on now. xD Picture time! (Oh, real quick - there will be more of these! Stay tuned for more info and to catch the next one!)

A brief reflection and look at how far our community has come since joining. I’ve been in the mechanical keyboard hobby for a very long time. It started as a high school student’s search for a keyboard for writing novels back in the 2008-2009 school year. I thought I wanted to be an author and I felt I needed a keyboard that I could sit down to at my desk and just write. After researching, joining forums, and saving money, I made my first purchase in the hobby, a blank black Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2. I still own this keyboard and while it is heavily modded now, it remains one of my all-time favorites.  My HHKB Pro2 with MitchCapped Accents Many people would have stopped there, but keyboards became a hobby. I enjoyed learning about them, and early on, I enjoyed hunting for them in thrift shops. I would dig through bins at Goodwill and Salvation Army while popping keycaps off with paperclips looking for mechanical switches. I searched for a birthday Model M...

Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by. Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white. Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...

They should make one in the same style as their SHIFT/CTRL/ALT keyboards. Both in the low profile and high profile styles. They should include a knob and a couple of extra buttons.

It's been a while since we've hosted a meetup at Drop. We want to change that, and are inviting folks to come hang out at our offices (Corsair HQ) in May! The Details Date: Saturday, May 11th Time: 1-5pm Location: Corsair HQ (Milpitas, CA) If you're interested in attending this event (or any future events!), please fill out the google form below. Attendance will need to be capped at roughly 30 attendees given the space (edit: we can accommodate a fair bit more than 30 - only mentioned this to manage expectations as this won't be a mega-event with hundreds; will lean more toward the "intimate" side of things, sub-100). https://forms.gle/3Q8fwCKp4hjkVdv18

I bought my Tokyo60 a year ago and the RGB light worked when I first finished building it. I turned it off after a while cause it was distracting using Fn + Q. But recently, I tried to turn it back on with Fn+Q, W, E, R, T, and Y, but none worked. I tested Fn, Q, W, E, R, T, and Y; each worked individually. Do you guys run into this problem and know how to troubleshoot it? Any advice will be helpful! Thanks!

MT3 is great and all but after using MTNU I can never go back. When will Drop get MTNU? Drop has so many cool sets but at this point I’m not interested in any other profiles. Cherry, DCS, DXA, OEM, XDA, SA, etc all boring. MT3 was neat but it’s boring now too (and too tall). Hoping to spend boatloads of money here again sometime soon, but that won’t happen until Drop offers something interesting again like its own custom cap, MTNU, or another low profile sculpted keycap. e.g., I tried CannonKeys CXA and preordered SLK Dessau. Neither will be permanent use but at least they’re something different.

Can anyone recommend an acrylic mechanical keyboard dust cover for a DROP SHIFT V2? Desperately looking for one that fits properly and protects the keys. thank you in advance.
