When most people think about a keyboard, a full-size layout comes to mind. So when we set out to build on the success of our tenkeyless CTRL and 65% ALT keyboards, the next logical step was a full-size board. But ours is a little different … We call it the SHIFT. Instead of a traditional full-size layout, we chose the 1800 layout for the SHIFT. Why? It’s significantly shorter (similar to many compact custom keyboard layouts), which helps reduce the footprint on your desk and creates a more natural position when using a mouse. Though the numpad and arrows are much closer, they’re still broken out, so they’re easy to find without looking down. Similar to the CTRL and ALT, the SHIFT is named in the spirit of a modifier key on a traditional keyboard. It will be backed by the same easy-to-use QMK firmware and comes with per-key RGB backlighting in more than 16 million different colors. And like our other keyboards, this one will be made from a solid block of aluminum with PBT keycaps and your choice of switches.

Definitely will be waiting for this. True GON style keyboard done years later. If you have to copy anyone then copy the Originator from the very beginning here. Make sure at least you supply hot swap switches because there are now hundreds of different styled MX switches, currently available on the market. Maybe put in some White Panda's and watch the fanaticism fly.....

Mdloader not detecting my DROP CTRL

I already have the DROP ALT so I know exactly how to flash LED configurations to the board, but when I hold FN + B and my keyboard restarts, Mdloader does not detect my keyboard and even attempt to flash the bin file. Anyone know why this is happening?

CTRL ALT Keyboard ISO DE?

Is there any way to use it like that or is any ISO DE version planned? Would love to get into hotswappable mechanical keyboards but can't seem to find any besides the GMMK (which I don't like). Thanks for advice!

Drop CTRL High-Profile "pinging" metal sound when typing?

I recently got the Drop CTRL High-Profile keyboard in the mail, and immediately when i started typing i noticed a loud, metal reverb sound while typing. I have a Drop ALT High-Profile board and I hear absolutely nothing like this from that board. I even took one of my lubed switches from my ALT and one of the keycaps from it as well but I still hear it. Is there a problem with my new board? Or is this just because the CTRL is designed differently? So far im really not a fan, it's the loudest keyboard I've ever typed on. I could take a video for an example if necessary.
