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

Just my first mechanical keyboard. Now I want another one

I have been collecting and repairing since the 1990s. I got out of the hobby and in 2019 built a new rig so I contacted some hobbyist friends and they let me in on the new vendors and tech. I bought a Drop CTRL tenkeyless and thought (from the marketing) that would be it. Then I received the kit and

Haven't been keeping up with keyboards but I want to find a very thocky keyboard. TKL and preferably with a knob. I used to have a Real force 87 and it was definitely my fave of all time. I use a Drop CTRL v1 now and the switches have some chatter. Don't care too much about gaming. I wanna prioritiz

Here's the situation...Got up this morning and the RBG lights on my Drop CTRL V2 were out. Only the pinkish colour lit up when I hit any of the keys. Unplugged it and plugged it back in, nothing. Restarted the computer, nothing. Searched on DROP and found the Fn + A command would cycle through the l

hey all. I haven't bought a keyboard in 4-ish years, and I was wondering if I could get some help. I'm currently running a drop ctrl tkl keyboard with (Gateron?) red switches, and I want something of similar quality and form factor without paying the (now) obvious overpriced tag. I'm willing to buil

Bought a Drop CTRL V2 a couple weeks ago and my cat promptly knocked a drink onto it. Cleaned it out and let it air dry but the space key feels stuck. I'm having to use more force on it than on any other key. I think its the stabilizers. When I take off the keycap, the switch rebounds if pressed but

I'm getting stuck with this. I'm looking for a replacement for my drop ctrl and haven't found good options. I know I could get the v2 but IMO it's overpriced for a fairly old design. Requirements Flat profile (ie the board itself is as flat as possible, not angled upwards) TKL QMK/VIA Lots of rgb (d
