The DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard is designed for gamers and typists alike, featuring a compact 65% layout with 67 keys. It boasts hot-swap switches, allowing you to easily customize your typing experience without soldering. The keyboard also includes programmable macros for personalized shortcuts. RGB LED backlighting enhances your gaming setup aesthetic, while the USB-C connection ensures compatibility with modern devices.

How does the hot-swap switch function work?

The hot-swap switch feature allows users to replace or interchange mechanical switches without soldering, making it convenient to customize your keyboard to fit your preferences. This setup gives you the flexibility to try different switch types, whether you prefer tactile, linear, or clicky feedback. It's useful for users who enjoy experimenting with their keyboard feel or those who wish to maintain their keyboard over time. Simply pull out the existing switch and snap a new one in without any tools.

Can I program macros on the DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard?

Absolutely! The DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard supports programmable macros, enabling you to assign complex commands or sequences to specific keys. This can greatly enhance your productivity or gaming efficiency. For gamers, it can streamline your actions in-game, allowing for rapid execution of combos. To set up macros, you typically need to use the accompanying software, which simplifies the programming process without requiring any coding skills.

What kind of RGB lighting options does the DROP ALT offer?

The DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard features customizable RGB LED backlighting, allowing you to choose from various lighting effects and colors to match your gaming setup. You can individually customize each key or apply South Africa effects like breathing or ripple. This capability not only enhances your aesthetic environment but can also aid in low-light conditions by highlighting the keys you need. Personalizing your keyboard lights can also express your gaming style or personality.

Is the keyboard suitable for both gaming and typing?

Yes, the DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard is designed to be versatile, making it suitable for both gaming and typing. Its compact layout reduces desk clutter while maintaining essential functionality. Gamers appreciate the responsive keystrokes, while typists enjoy the tactile feedback of the mechanical switches. Whether you're engaging in a lengthy typing session or immersing yourself in an online game, this keyboard delivers performance and comfort, catering to diverse user needs.

What USB connection type does the keyboard use?

The DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard is equipped with a USB-C connection, which is the modern standard for many devices. This type of connection ensures fast data transfer rates and enhances the overall responsiveness of the keyboard. Additionally, USB-C is reversible, meaning you can plug it in without worrying about the orientation. This connection type provides compatibility with various computers and laptops, making it a flexible choice for users across different platforms.

What materials are used for the keycaps?

The DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard features Doubleshot PBT keycaps, which are known for their durability and long-lasting performance. PBT, or polybutylene terephthalate, is a high-quality plastic that resists wear, fading, and shine over time. The Doubleshot process means that the legends (letters and symbols) are molded into the keycaps rather than printed, ensuring that they won't rub off with extensive use. This results in a more premium feel and aesthetic for your keyboard, enhancing overall longevity.

How do I clean the DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard?

Cleaning the DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard is straightforward. Begin by unplugging it and removing the keycaps using a keycap puller. Once the keycaps are removed, you can clean the keyboard surface with a microfiber cloth and mild isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt and grime. For the keycaps, wash them in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and let them dry completely before reassembling them. Regular cleaning will help maintain the aesthetic and functionality of your keyboard over time.

Does the keyboard have specific software for customization?

Yes, the DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard comes with dedicated software to facilitate customization of key functions, lighting effects, and macros. The software provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to program specific keys, set up RGB profiles, and even record macros with ease. This customization is essential for gamers who require rapid key access, or for anyone who wants to optimize their setup according to personal preferences. Simply download the software from the official website to get started.

Product Details

A COMPACT LAYOUT: The ALT mechanical keyboard is a smaller take on Drop’s CTRL model. It features 67 keys instead of 87. Absent of function keys, it wastes no space—but it still has a full set of arrows and numerals.
A SOLID BUILD: Constructed with a solid aluminum frame with a built-in switch plate and magnetic legs, the ALT is rock-solid and ready for any setup.
CHERRY MX BLUE RGB SWITCHES: This ALT 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 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 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.

DROP Gaming Keyboards MDX-31827-12 Editorial Review

The DROP ALT Mechanical Keyboard is a solidly built keyboard with a great 65% size and tactile keys that are great for both typing and gaming. It is easy to clean and the keycap removal is simple. However, it has a few issues such as a loud white noise due to its background lighting and the stabilizers are not the best, which makes the keys rattle. Though it supports remapping keys with QMK software, it uses a PCB that doesn't have the 3 holes for extra stabilizers, making it difficult to work with and making switches that require those holes incompatible.
