What an excellent keyboard! Though software really could have been better.
What a fantastic keyboard! Really enjoying it compared to my previous Logitech G513 tactile. The Halo True's are pretty silent but heavy in feedback, so great for gaming. Plus hot swap is always an option if it doesn't work for you. The size takes some time getting used to, but unless you are doing heavy number data entry or have a big requirement of function keys, it feels pretty normal to type/play on. Build quality feels much much better than the Razer and Logitech keyboards I have used previously.My only complaint is that the software that goes with the keyboard is pretty bad. I had issues on waking up my PC using this keyboard initially. Every other keyboard I used has worked, so it isn't a system problem. Finally figured out a reset/firmware update was required. I managed to figure out how to, but the way to do it is not really logical, especially for a person from a non tech background like me. The link on the paperwork in the box did not exist and I only managed to get the correct links (yes, there is more than one) after trawling through the Drop website and community pages. Considering the price of the keyboard they sell, I would expect at least decent software to go with it.Though this review is pretty enjoyable to write on it.

Expensive Unrepairable Brick
I was very pleased at first with this keyboard.However after just over a year of normal office use, 2 keys suddenly stopped working. The "1" and the "Q". It's not an issue of the cherry MX switches having a problem since swapping them out with known working switches still makes the keyboard fail to register those keys when pressed.I contacted their support team which were unhelpful since I was outside my warranty Period.This is usually fine but to be told that I CANNOT get my keyboard repaired at all even at a cost of a repair service is infuriating. This means this expensive Keyboard can NEVER be fixed and I'm left with it not knowing what to do.Please consider this when buying this keyboard. If it breaks or fails outside your warranty period you have ZERO optionsApple who are notoriously shady with their repair service at least ALLOWS you to repair your devices even if a tad bid expensive, at least you are not left with a brick.Good Job DROP

Only way to get a premium custom keyboard without all the duty fees
In my opinion it's the best option to getting a custom keyboard in Canada. I was torn between this one and set from an American website, after some research I found out that the duty fees on top of shipping makes building a true custom keyboard too expensive in Canada. I picked up some cannon keys lavender switches and hyper x pudding caps and it's perfect. Premium feel for a reasonable price.

Is this barebones keyboard used?
I ordered this keyboard as I was searching for a hot-swappable keyboard to find the perfect switch for me. As I opened the package, it seemed as if it wasn't in good/new condition. When unboxing the barebones keyboard, I noticed that the packaging was a bit scuffed with some rips and even some dents in the box and the information cards. I also noticed that there were some markings (looks like spill markings) that made me very concerned about the PCB, not knowing if it would work or even last in the long run. Even the cable was a bit sticky, making it very hard to untangle from its coil shape. Although the PCB works fine and the keyboard works great, especially with the lighting, my first impression of this keyboard is very poor due to it looking like it has been used and the poor packaging as well.

Swiss army knife of mech boards
Oh what a board. I wish I had this option to start off with when I began my mech keeb journey. Now I did have to do some customization to get this board to where I like it (my favourite board right now) but that's really a part of this hobby. I added a foam insert, lubed and clipped and the stabs, and added my own custom (lubed, filmed) switches (holy pandas). This keyboard is a great platform for such customization.It looks really good (I like it better than the high profile ... and in terms of sound, once you add the foam, it sounds just as good). The LED's are not as bright as any of my other LED backlit keyboards. The firmware customization is very easy and versatile. The magnetic feet are amazing ... allows for a great negative tilt (which I now wish I could do with all of my other keyboards). The negative tilt does worsen the sound profile but it feels much better when typing.One negative to the board is the ping. You pretty much have to lube your switches (springs) to get rid of it. Adding foam does reduce it but nowhere to where is needed. Once you lube your swithces, the problem goes away. Another minor gripe ... the included switch puller ... ugh! You have to buy a separate one because its garbage. Does not catch the switch the way a puller is supposed to. Requires excessive force because the angle of the end isn't sharp enough.
