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

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

We're all one

Hey thanks for all the switch reviews The land of group buys is about the same size as back in 2017-2018, but the hobby’s WAY bigger. In a lotta ways the difference is good: There’s enough decent in stock boards and caps that the difference in quality between those and customs and GMK n Sig Plastics

What’s the “Toyota” of keyboards in 2025? Longer lasting, durable...

Drop Ctrl. No wifi, no battery. Not many things can break.

Is this a good deal?

Dang, thats a really subjective one. Probably my all time favorite is the first build I did many years ago. Drop CTRL + kailh box whites. People either love or hate the box whites. Theyre clickly but super lightweight. 45g. Its awesome for fast typing. A lot of people arent fans of the click - its n
