Stabilizer Upgrades, improved sound dampening and new switch options build upon classic qualities of beloved predecessors
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Drop, the leading community-driven e-commerce company, today introduced enhanced versions of its CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT keyboards. First launched in 2018 and designed from feedback from the Drop community, these keyboards have since become best-sellers, offering a compelling combination of customization and quality. The new V2 variants of the Drop CTRL, ALT and SHIFT combine iconic, fully aluminum design with stand-out RGB lighting performance, improved features and enhanced performance, delivering an unparalleled typing experience for those seeking to elevate their desk setups.
The CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT V2 keyboards feature several improvements that build on the original keyboards, including:
In addition to these new features, the CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT V2 keyboards retain the same classic qualities that have made them so popular. The keyboards are constructed with the same aircraft-grade aluminum materials machined from a solid block of aluminum and manufacturing standards for a high-quality build. To take advantage of the keyboards' exceptional RGB capabilities, the LEDs remain north-facing for users who prefer bright, shine-through keycap sets and glow brightly around the sides. The keyboards are also still multi-functional with dual USB-C ports that not only simplify cable management but also serve as a USB hub for connecting additional devices to enhance the overall functionality and versatility of the keyboards, ensuring a more seamless setup with less visual clutter.
"The new and improved CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT V2 keyboards represent a leap forward in design, performance, and functionality while preserving the cherished qualities that made their predecessors beloved by our community," said Jef Holove, CEO, Drop. "With the addition of highly requested features such as stabilizer upgrades, new switch options, and enhanced RGB LED capabilities, we offer the community an upgraded and unparalleled typing experience that will make them fall in love with these reinvented, classic keyboards all over again."
The CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT V2 keyboards are now available for purchase on the Drop website in both barebones and fully assembled configurations. The barebones keyboards range from $140 - $190, while the fully assembled keyboards range from $180 - $250. Current customers that own the original versions of the CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT keyboards can also purchase the PCBA + foam kit and Phantom Stabilizers starting at $105 to upgrade their current model as a more cost-effective, waste-minimizing alternative to purchasing a brand-new keyboard, particularly for those interested in restoring and upgrading their own gear.
