How did the hobby evolve over the years?
-Competitor switches to what Cherry had made for years, narrowing the gap from stock to the broken in lubed cherry switch which had become gold standard -Plate material preference has changed a bit over time. There’s plenty of brass around but there’s many more options for more flexible materials an

I know this is a pretty male dominated hobby/subreddit, so where are my keeb girlies at? Let’s be friends!
Green girlies unite! This is the Drop CTRL V2, with Gateron Yellow Pro switches for most of the keyboard and AKKO V3 Penguin switches for the space/enter/shift keys, and then Osume Dalgona + Matcha Marshmallow profile key caps. Currently ordered and working on building a black one for writing, but t

My first build - y’all are tripping if you’re telling me there’s a difference between most of these.
There's like 10 layers to enthusiast keyboards that all change the sound, it's a lot of fine tuning. Most people will get by with a few different switches and a solid keyboard base, but doing so in a tester and not a built keyboard, you're not getting the full experience. I didn't even know they wer

Linus Torvalds goes back to a mechanical keyboard after making too many typos
I’m fixing up my coworkers drop ctrl and it has kailh box whites in it. While I personally have moved on from clicky switches I had to try it out before dismantling it for a cleaning. They were surprisingly nice but because of the board they were in I could feel it reverberate in my ear. Like I coul

Gift for my sister!
This is my most exciting build to date! I took my first keyboard ever, the Drop CTRL V1, and spray-painted the aluminum top casing with lavender paint. I then added Gateron Yellow KS3 Switches and hand-lubed Everglide Panda V3 Gold-Plated Mounted Stabilizers. To finish it off, I used the Drop + Bees

What are some cute ISO prebuilt keyboards?
I recently discovered this site lol keeb finder And I don't know any from top of my head that are lavender or blue, I do know one that looks similar to your photo which I got Drop Ctrl Keyblossom (non RGB since Ctrl is bottom tier for drop) Edit: they also use holy panda x's so they sound quite good

I swear there are too many people like this.
It's not as bad as the community makes it sound. Back in the day, if you wanted a custom board, you had to solder your own switches, build or program your own pcb, etc.. Now switches are hot swappable and mappings can be changed on the fly. The hobbyists have nothing left to do, so they have to inve

Found a CTRL v1 high profile at a thrift store. Was filthy but works fine other than missing alt key.
One of the feet on my drop ctrl fell off and I lost it, emailed Drop about getting a replacement and they said they don't offer replacements. I was pretty baffled that I couldn't get a fucking small rubber foot replaced on my $250 keyboard. Luckily I found the foot a week later wedged between my des

Springtime Superbudget Hand-Wire in a Drop CTRL's carcass.
Who'd have thought a Drop CTRL could be cool? :)
