Any low profile full size mech keyboards?

Jun 14, 2018903 VIEWS

Basically that. I love mechanical keyboards but I really have a lot of issue with the height of so many of them. I really want something that sits as low on the desk as possible! I'd love something with a space-bar row at 0.5 of an inch (or lower) to the top of the keys. A bit of an incline up from that is fine and I'd be OK if the function keys sat around 1 inch off the desktop, but I want it as low as possible! Am I grasping at straws here? The two boards I have start at over 0.75 of an inch and the one is at 1.25. I've been looking around and everything I find is so tall!

Well it's been about 6 weeks since I got the Havit. I'm really enjoying this keyboard! I do wish I could reduce the height just a BIT more but this is the most comfortable mech keyboard I've used in a long time! It fast becoming my favorite keyboard!

Picked up the Havit now I just need to find some flat top key caps like the Tesoro has!

OrillianWell boys and girls...Havit HV-KB395L is in. So far this is promising! It's only about an 8th of an inch thicker than my wife's Logitech butterfly switch keyboard...model unknown.
So far it's very nice! Key spacing is great and the feel is very nice! And not as loud as regular blues!
One complaint! My eyes wig out if I have the back lighting turned up too high, every time I glance in the direction of the keyboard it makes my eyes go weird. I have the brightness turned way low and it's ok!
Thanks for the heads up on this board!

Ooh ooh, I am in the middle of testing out a Havit in those low profile kailh blue switches and I think I like it. Still has that tactile feedback of the standard blues (though less pronounced) and the short throw makes for much faster and more accurate typing. The difference is noticeable. I do think that there is a sacrifice, as the switches aren't quite as satisfying as normal full size blues, but definitely worth checking out, and not crazy expensive.

How to sell things on Drop & How Drop charge them?

Hi , this Kyle from China. Since a month ago, my team wanted to build a brand to produce the high quality of mechanical keyboard and headset to sell aboard. Now we already got the license to do so, and we can't wait to bring our products to meet everyone. But the products are still in the period of designing, it would take some time :( There are some questions we can't find the ways to solve - how to sell keyboard on Drop, and the details about how Drop charge per product? - Actually I sent an email to Drop Studio for some questions, but I didn't receive the answer.( Drop Studio also mentioned that they can contact me only if they were interested in my design / products ). So I'm here ask for help. If anyone can answer my question, I would really appreciate it :)

Black Friday 2024

Hey Drop, the official Black Friday is really late this year - 11/29. Do you plan to start a sale before then? If so, when? Extra credit: Hints about what to expect?

What is a good replacement circuit board?

I spilled on my DROP CSTM80 keyboard and damaged the circuit board. Where can I get a replacement circuit board? The ones on the Drop Shop site do not look the same as the one in my keyboard. Can you please make a recommendation? Thank you.

Is the drop alt v1 compatible with the official qmk configurator?

I use a Drop Alt v1 and much prefer flashing with compiled .bin files to using the desktop configurator app. Drop's online configurator has been refusing to compile keymaps, while the QMK online configurator at https://config.qmk.fm/ has keymaps for Alt v2 but not Alt v1. Are the Alt v2 and Alt v1 compatible enough that a .bin file compiled for v2 will work on my v1? Thanks for your help!

I'm unable to run the drop keyboard configurator setup

I have windows 11 and I've recently got the cstm80. I'm trying to flash the firmware, but I'm unable to run install the configurator. Every time I try to run the setup file nothing happens. The version I'm trying to run is: Drop+Keyboard+Configurator+Setup+24.9.6-322.exe I've tried running as admin, but nothing I do gets it to run. I'd appreciate any help.
