Is there any plans to refresh the drop keyboards? Specifically the drop shift? It’s super outdated with a low profile design, plate mount stabs and only 3 pin hotswap support. would be nice to get it high profile with 5 pin support. For the price there is absolutely no reason to buy it over it’s competitors. I mean akko is offering a better solution for half the price…

RobL569Seconding this. Would be a great opportunity to include the new Drop custom stabilizers that are in development. A high profile version of the board with included dampening foam and south facing LEDs would also be awesome to see in a Drop SHIFT v2.
RobL569You and me both! I will be first in line for an updated high profile Shift. :D There is a lot in development to refresh the keyboard lineup, more info to come SoonTM.
RobL569Absolutely agree on this. I really hope we can get an update on that front sooner rather than later, the boards are really starting to show their age against the competition in their respective price brackets AND BELOW :-(. Th one thing I still really like about their boards is the pass-through capability of the two USB-C ports; even if they aren't running at USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, that's still a nice QoL feature... but not worth what the boards cost, or even to use the PCB's in another case (assuming you even find a compatible one).
