Any chance we'll hear an update on software soon? There was mention of QMK configuration updates that would add new functionality and lighting to the Drop family (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, etc).

Please, please, please do a round of Milkshakes! There's substantial interest both inside and outside the community.

Would be great if you guys offered some kind of snazzification options for those of us with existing CTRL/ALT keyboards, such as:
- replacements for the acrylic center slice, for those of us who don't use the RGB - I'm thinking polished stainless, brass, copper, and/or wood?
- bespoke dampening foam for either the bottom of the case or with a sticky backing to adhere to the back of the integrated plate (big source of hum in the low-profile boards
- better stabilizers - the included ones are pretty terrible, should be offered at least as an add-on option

Please include more colevrak sets in the future! I'm interested in so many of these, especially the MT3 and DCP Pegaso but no colevrak support :(

I'm not going to repeat my earlier post, with its fulsome detail, but I would like to say that I still want a FN numpad that matches my high profile CTRL in style, capability/specs, and design. There's still time to give me an early Christmas present. (And I didn't say QMK in earlier post, but yeah, QMK.)

Drop Mech Keys Meetup - May 11th!
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

Is there anywhere I can get just the 6.25u stab? I have so many of the other stabs that I would love to have a way to be able to acquire more of the 6.25u without accumulating more of the 2u or 7u that I have just laying around

Support for Alternative Layouts
This is a summary of how alternative layouts have been supported by kits such as Colevrak and Homing. It is not a discussion of alt layout performance and development, but if that interests you I highly recommend starting with Pascal Getreuer’s A guide to alt keyboard layouts (why, how, which one?). It’s a concise and comprehensive overview with links to some great sites that go deeper. He also has a separate Links about keyboards page. The Keyboard layouts doc he recommends explains layout goals and metrics in detail, summarizing the alt layouts discussed here as well as more than one hundred others. Sculpted-profile The majority of custom keycap sets are sculpted-profile (Cherry, SA, MT3, KAT, etc. - more on profiles generally here) so let’s start there. Because each row has a unique keycap shape, alt layouts require a unique keycap for each legend that moves off its QWERTY row. At first there were two The Dvorak layout was patented in 1936 by August Dvorak & William L....

*Help* Screw in stabilizers not fitting in Dropshift V2 keyboard
I'm trying to build a mechanical keyboard with screw in stabilizers, I've build some mechanical keyboards with click-in stabilizers, never with screw in. Somehow one of the pins of the metal top-part collides with the screw in stabilizer of the numpad "enter key". I already tried grinding of a bit of the pin that collides with the stabilizer, but unfortunately I can't make it fit/close properly. You can see that the pin of the toppart leaves a mark on the bottompart of the stabilizer, see picture 2. What am I missing? Using Durock V2 in a Dropshift fullsize V2. See pictures below, thanks in advance!

Polymer clay
Don't drop crazy cash on custom wood builds! Instead go buy polymer clay and paint. Then you can spend a ridiculous amount of time trying to make it look like you can afford to drop crazy cash on...

Want to build a Clicky Mech Keyboard. Where to begin?
Hello all. Am brand new to the idea of building my own keyboard. Have not a clue where to begin this process. I am a Sim Game enthusiast. American Truck Sim, DCS Flight Sim and goes from there. Need some real help on where to start for making my own Full Size, Clickey Mechanical KB. I want each key to have its own backlighting. Are there keys that are better than others for this? Is there a great spot on site for a person who has never even taken a keyboard apart? Let alone fixed or built one? I would like it to fit my theme of Red and Black. Yet maybe have the option of changing things up a bit. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all kindly, Durazell

MT3 Black on White and MT3 White on Black have launched with rave reviews. As mentioned in the past, the quest to build amazing MT3 keycap tooling was a 2 year journey and we're so happy to have gotten it to the finish line with the Susuwatari keycap set. We’re excited to have just released MT3 Jukebox and MT3 Camillo in stock, with MT3 Dasher on the way! We're planning for many more beautiful doubleshot colorways to be released in 2021. If PBT dye-sub is your preference, check out MT3 Extended 2048 designed by biip. CTRL and ALT PCBs As a follow up to the release of our CTRL and ALT custom anodized case colors, we’ve just released standalone PCBs for both platforms. You can now build your own “barebones” setup by ordering a colored case, diffuser, PCB, and stabilizers. Signature Series Keyboards In the past two months we released three Signature Series keyboards (read more about their inception here), and we just added a fourth keyboard named Flux to the collection. Initial feedback around this collection has been overwhelmingly positive and we're taking steps to follow this up with more prebuilt semi-custom keyboards to be released in 2021. In closing… 2020 has been an amazing year for Mechanical Keyboards at Drop.com and we’re thankful to the community for all the support that you’ve shown us. We’ve already got a very busy release schedule for 2021 and are excited to reveal our plans in the very near future!
