Extremely nice performance. Amazing switches and the caps feel very premium

Great entry level keyboard for wanting to learn about custom keyboards.

Great keyboard amazing for gaming, great feedback from keyboard to game.

Keyboard sounds nice and fluid, it's definitely not as responsive for gaming but thats okay because its mainly for the casuals that do the regular day to day tasks, anyone that needs a satisfying keyboard should check this keyboard out. I was surprised how responsive it is to most keyboards i recently have used, worth the money honestly

Very nice feel, and the linear switches are great.

Excellent keyboard, love everything about it, Feels like a custom keyboard but much cheaper.

I bought for my boyfriend as a gift it was on sale. He loved it and has had no issues

The drop Keyboard is one of the best stock keyboards it is insane and feels insane

the keyboard itself is fantastic if sold completely as advertised what isn’t fantastic is that you need to dismantle it the moment you buy it and check it actually contains what Drop claims it does. i bought two over the xmas period. 2 days past the 14 day return policy at best buy, i went to modify them, as they’re explicitly designed to be. at this point i discovered most of the foam is missing from inside the keyboard, which makes switching out switches etc difficult because the switch plate has nothing to support it. nothing about either either keyboard gave me the impression anyone else had ever opened the box before me. there’s no way of telling if the internals are complete without fully dismantling it. drop customer support seem to think they have zero responsiblity to fix a manufacturing error, and that somehow best buy might remedy a situation for which they obviously have no parts. they talk about this product as if it’s a collab and not a first party product that they restock. Somehow, Drop believes itself not responsible for the quality of any products it sells. If this was something i could source myself, even at cost i would eat it up, but that’s not possible. they haven’t even made the foam available, even at cost, despite the fact they sell all the other parts and it’s designed to be modular and the foam is a custom design. if you buy one, rip it apart straight away so you can return it to best buy if Drop have lied about what you’re buying. i’ve never got so hot and then so cold on a product and company faster in my life, they’ve made zero effort to be helpful after i’ve spent a small fortune on accessories for this product, only to find the core product lacking its listed features. their warranty, which explicitly states parts - 1 year is clearly meaningless

Great solid keyboard. I did return it, just because i need a number pad.

An amazing keyboard the switches are creamy and smooth and for the price is extremely good couldn’t recommend enough!!

Great keyboard, best sounding I’ve ever had and felt!

It seems to be overpriced but it's a great keyboard, easy to adjust but unfortunately seems the keys are easy to get sticky.

My daily driver. For price and quality its almost unbeatable.

Absolutely stellar keyboard! I got it for my wife for her birthday, and she loves it.

First impression: My first impression of the Drop CSTM80 is that it is very rugged. The 1st thing I noticed was the weight. It is heavier than any of my other keyboards. It’s not surprising when you pull it out and see a weight plate on the bottom. The keyboard is well packaged but be careful not to throw away the accessories with the box. Once you remove the keyboard, you need to remove the cardboard underneath it to reveal the accessories. The keyboard is a wedge-style keyboard. This is fully customizable, allowing you to easily change any component of it. The top cover is held on with strong magnets which make it quick and easy to change out and to get access to the keys and switches. Drop offers several custom top plates with different colors and materials, and some with custom printing. It’s a nice-looking cover. The branding of the keyboard is on the bottom, keeping the top of the keyboard clean. This works well with the side-printed keycaps.

Performance: The keyboard is ready to use right out of the box for both Windows and Mac computers. Drop includes the Mac-specific keys and a key puller, so you can easily swap those out. The keyboard is a PCBA board instead of a PCB board. What this means is everything is combined onto a single board. So, if you want to disassemble the keyboard for any adjustments or new configurations, you only have 1 board with no connecting wires or daughter boards to worry about, making it super easy to work with. The switches are Gateron Yellow switches. These are linear switches, and they have a really good feel and a nice sound while typing. And Drop included PCB mounted stabilizers. This makes the keys feel solid when typing. The is noticed the most on the space bar, which doesn’t dip on the ends when typing. Inside the chassis, there are 3 foam pads and 1 dampening pad. The dampening pad tapers from the top of the pad to the bottom. The top of the pad is almost ½” tick, providing good dampening. I am a 2-finger typist. I never learned how to type, and I know the layout of the keyboard, so about 60% of my typing is muscle memory. My problem is that I type fast as a 2-finger typist if the keys aren’t crammed together. I have trouble with 60% and 80% keyboards, and this one is no different. However, I seem to do better on this keyboard than other partials I have tried. But it still slows me down. While typing, I can easily see the keys on the front of the keyboard. This was a concern as I need to be able to see the keys as a 2-finger typer. They are easy to see, and the LED colors come through bright and clean. Conclusion: The Drop CSTM80 keyboard is a fully customizable keyboard. You can customize every part of the keyboard, including case covers, weight plates, switches, keys, and dampening foam. You can also customize the keymap and program F13 with the downloaded app, which is both Via and Vial compatible. Removing the cover is easy with the magnetic hold, and the inserts are strong enough to not be a problem when removing the Phillips screws. Using this keyboard is actually a pleasure right out of the box. The keys feel solid and fluid, and the mechanical sound is firm and not hollow. The LED colors are bright, and the front-facing printed characters are easy to see and helps the keyboard look clean. Even as a 2-finger typer, I do ok with this smaller keyboard, which I generally struggle with. This is not a problem with the keyboard, it is a problem with me. If you want a high-quality, fully customizable keyboard that works really good out of the box, I highly recommend this keyboard.

This product has been an outstanding addition to my office space. It has made typing and gaming such a comfortable experience.

Decent keyboard, a bit expensive but initial impressions were good with the kb. The oem keys are pretty bad, ensure you buy extra keycap set if you plan on buying this. Drop Customer service will not assist in replacing any. Overrall could be better, but if bought on a deal its worth.

Wife loves this one the great feeling and build quality make her very happy. I personally wish there was a way to turn off the leds after the desktop has been turned off without unplugging it

The keyboard itself is nice the atomic purple colorway is nice, the switches sound and feel nice, but after about a months worth of useage the keyboard got bricked no update or reset method worked for it, im sure others will have a better experience but for me the board is only good for the switches at this point
