Mechanical keyboard enthusiasts aren’t afraid to criticize something they enjoy.
Plus, the switches are hot-swappable, and QMK customization provides full control over each key’s function.
But Drop made some significant changes to these keyboards.
A reworked PCBA adds 5-pin switch support, ensuring broader compatibility with keyboard switches.
An upgraded STM32 chipset provides a snappier and more feature-rich QMK customization experience.
(Note that Drop is trying to reduceunwantednoise.
The goal is to hear your keyboard’s switches, not the resonance from your keyboard’s chassis.)
(This stuff can be pretty overwhelming.
Essentially, you’re able to choose between several linear, clicky, and tactile switches.
Because these keyboards are hot-swappable, you’re free to change your switches at any time.)
As for the differences between these keyboards—well, it’s mostly just a size thing.
Both the SHIFT and the ALT offer adjustable incline, while the CTRL has a fixed incline.
For those who care about ergonomics, Drop also offers High Profile versions of the ALT and CTRL.
They’re available in both pre-assembled and bare-bones configurations.
