Review: Excellent RGB backlit keyboard with a few caveats - Let me just say i went through my fair share of keyboards - corsairs, razers then moving on to more limited production keebs like IC nightfox and kira, after which i was faced with a choice (since i really started liking the 65% format) of whether i go build my own keeb or buy a better production board. The issue with building your own is there is no good choice for rgb backlit due to the way the LEDs are facing. As far as I know, all custom build boards have south facing leds (in order to fit certain key caps). Since i game and use it at nighttime , backlit keycaps is a very much needed feature for me. So something like the Drop Alt made sense. The quality is great, over 2lbs of weight, and comes with all the features that you could possibly want. What keeps this keyboard from being the absolute Apex of all 65% production boards out there is the out of the box stabs, key caps, and ping noise. Luckily all those can be fixed for relatively cheap and relatively quick. If you buy this keyboard, I would strongly encourage you to make those few upgrades - lube and clip stabs, band aid mod, and use some shelf liner to fill in the empty space between the pcb and the bottom piece of the board to eliminate the keyboard pinging sound. The keycaps can be easily replaced but the stock ones are not too bad just your average pbt caps and really dont match the quality of this keyboard in my opinion. It sounds like much especially for an expensive keeb but its quite easy to do and i found that after making those upgrades, the experience is night and day. I didnt take any stars off because these upgrades are optional are not needed but very much recommended. On my version i also changed the switches to Aliaz 70g and swapped the keycap set to tai hao miami. if you plan on doing that , you may want to opt for the barebones version. I am extremely satisfied with this board, it is very quiet, the stabs sound great, the lighting is excellent. Also the firmware takes a few minutes to get used to but it works really well. Also desertcart did an excellent job delivering this in 2 days after placing the order ( i am not a prime member).
Review: Excelent overall quality, with only one minor downside - This keyboard has a top-notch build quality. I'm familiar with the custom keyboard community, and have done a great deal of research about keyboards before buying this one. I have a custom keyboard already, and I'm fairly aware of the build quality you can get for this type of money. While you could theoretically get a keyboard of similar quality for less money, this is an excellent option for anybody looking for custom build quality without the difficulty of actually building a custom. While it isn't that hard, it can take a great deal of time to individually order all of the parts that you need, since they're often parts of group-buys or are out of stock. This keyboard has a fantastic case build from aluminum and it weighs a great deal, which keeps it steady on your desk. The lighting is fantastic, and it comes with PBT key caps, which are what you should be looking for. The milling is smooth and the finish gives it an attractive aesthetic. It has a 65% build, which means that while it doesn't have a number pad or a function line, it still has directional arrows and a couple other useful keys. It's a fantastic keyboard, and the only downside is that you have to use the QMK software, which is not so easy to use if you not are tech-savvy. If you don't want to use that software, you can simply use the existing configuration of the keyboard, so if you want to customize, you have to figure that you. The only other complaint I could have is that the stabilizers are not good, but they are also not particularly bad (at least the stabs on my keyboard), but, it's very easy to replace them and you can do that for less than twenty dollars. I'd say buy it, if you want a keyboard that will last you pretty much forever, you should get this. You can change the switches any time that you want and you aren't limited in your selection. While this keyboard may cost a lot, it is made of excellent materials and allows you to continue customizing down the road if you want to.

## Features

- A MECH KEYS FAVORITE, NOW IN HIGH PROFILE: The Drop ALT High-Profile is just like the original ALT, but now it comes with a tall CNC-aluminum case that covers the switches.
- THICKER, HEAVIER FRAME: The ALT High-Profile is constructed from a large block of anodized aluminum, nearly twice as heavy as the original ALT. The keyboard is heavy enough to stay put when you're locked into an intense FPS match.
- CHERRY MX BLUE RGB SWITCHES: This ALT High-Profile model comes equipped with Cherry MX Blue switches, which have a distinct “click” sound when pressed, making them the loudest and most tactile switches in the Cherry MX family.
- HOT-SWAPPABLE SWITCH FUNCTIONALITY: Want to switch your switches? Customize the ALT High-Profile with ease thanks to hot-swappable switch sockets, which allow you to swap switches in seconds—no soldering required.
- OPTIMIZED PER-KEY LIGHTING WITH MILLIONS OF COLORS: The ALT High-Profile is illuminated with fully customizable RGB backlighting and under-lighting. Set your millions of LEDs to a single color or light them up with custom rainbow wave patterns.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I expected.
*by N***N on August 7, 2020*

I did a fair share of research and I knew a couple of issues I was going to run into when purchasing this keyboard. For starters it doesn’t have an easy UI like a Corsair/Logitech/ razer etc... keyboard. I have yet to even download the UI and try to reflash any of the color profiles or keybindings because that’s not why I bought this board (although the edge lighting does look pretty sweet). After buying my kb with the cherry blues, before I even got the kb in the mail I ordered a gp105 Krytox GPL and zeal v2 62g switches. My lube got delayed in the mail so I opted to just install the switches and start using the board. Overall I was very satisfied with the rigidity of the board combined with these switches. After installing these switches I made it about 10 seconds with the keyboard before finding out my 2 key worked intermittently. Determining that it was probably a bent pin on the switch itself and not the keyboard, I swapped the key switches when I pulled them all out for lubing the next week. The change in key switch helped, but the 2 key still will not register at times and double enter other times. Probably something I messed up on my switch removal of the blues/ install of the v2 switches. Nbd. All in all, this keyboard is good for someone who just wants to buy a 65% and have it work; and maybe swap the switches out down the road. If you are okay with one switch (blues, reds, browns...) just buy a ducky mini. If you’re a serious modding enthusiast then this board isn’t for you. Build your own. You probably aren’t even considering this board because you know that. Also short shift key on the right side make it a huge headache finding quality keycap sets for this board. Also my stabs are extremely loud. Pick up some new clip ins because the ones that come preinstalled are pretty horrendous.
