You have probably never heard of Drop. But if you examine the box a little closer you'll discover the mention of Corsair being the manufacturer behind these highly customizable keyboards. This should inspire confidence in these products as the company has been creating gaming components and accessories for a long, long time. The DROP + The Lord of the Rings TKL Wired Black Speech Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a fascinating piece of hardware whether you're a LOTR fan or not. Let's have a look at what's good and what could've been better. This Drop keyboard comes with a custom paint job reminiscent of Sauron. The caps are printed in elvish (there are tiny little letters for those who still need to look at the keyboard to type) and it really looks gorgeous. It comes with additional key caps (red) which can replace the keys that are pre-installed. There are some more keys and accessories available to purchase, but in my humble opinion, it's pretty cool looking as it is. The box also contains a USB cable (Type C to USB-A) and a keycap puller. I would have loved a braided cable instead of the regular cable, but you have to buy it separately. If you've been around long enough, you'll realize that the keys feel more like an old-school keyboard from the '90s, which is very cool. I really like the circular indentation which helps to keep your little fingers on the right keys. The keyboard is mechanical and it sounds fairly well. I find it a bit loud but I'm also using opto-mechanical switches on my other keyboards. Now, the box says that the switches are Holy Panda X Tactile and respond without any lag at all. The housing of the Drop is aluminum, which spells quality and sturdiness. It's got a nice weight to it. After a week of using this keyboard, I found it to be very comfortable to type and game with and it gives off a lot of flair. But not everything is fine in the Shire and Drop has (and I apologize for this pun in advance) dropped the ring. The biggest issue comes in form of the app used to control most features. It wouldn't detect the keyboard no matter how or which USB port I plugged it in to. This led to hunting down tutorials and videos explaining how to flash the firmware. This is a problem and I hope that Drop will fix their app soon. It simply isn't great. You can use the function key to adjust many settings, but a software option is always the better choice. The next one is more of a personal gripe. The keyboard features lighting, but the keycaps are opaque. It would have been so much better to see the elvish light up. I game a lot at night and I rely a lot on the keyboard to offer enough light to see the keys. As I mentioned before, it's just a minor thing but if you're like me, you kind of expected to see the elvish symbols light up in a classy, shimmery style. All in all, the DROP + The Lord of the Rings TKL Wired Black Speech Mechanical Gaming Keyboard is a hit and miss. It is great looking, it works and feels great. The price is justified by the quality of the build and the content of the box. Alright, now back to play Return to Moria.
