With hot swappable key switches and an aluminum chassis, it could the last keyboard anyone needs to buy. If a key switch breaks, it's ten minutes and 7 dollars to replace it. Try replacing a membrane key or or a key switch on a Corsair or Razer keyboard. It's possible but takes more than a general knowledge of soldering.

Those hot swappable switches isn't just saving time. Most people I think won't solder their switches out. They just buy new keyboards. I am one of those people. When a piece of debris got under one of my switches and broke it, I was disappointed to find out although the switch was just a couple dollars, the work to put into it was above my wheelhouse. This could be the last keyboard anyone would need to buy. $200 might be steep to some people, but realizing the lifespan this keyboard can have makes it seem like a bargain.

For 80$ it has RGB, a num pad, gateron red switches which many consider to be better than cherry, its made of aluminum and plastic so it feels like good quality, and it has minimal branding on it. If you’re on a budget, this is the best keyboard for the price, especially when its on sale. I got mine for 65$.

You can choose between Halo True, Halo Clear, or Cherry MX switches at checkout. However, the keyboard has hot swappable sockets, meaning you could switch between any of the switches mentioned, not to mention a couple of others like the Kaihua Box White switches. All you do is take out the old switch and push in the new one. You can buy your own switches from other places too.

I did use the caps elsewhere for quite a while though. Still have them. Still my favorite shine through set. I think the caps actually feel pretty nice. Not as nice as GMK but they're good. I still have the board too.... It's a spare at the moment. Spends most of its time on a shelf. I'm using the GMMK Pro now which I''d say is the better board of the two. It might also be worth pointing out that Drop sells the keycaps separately from the board now. Which wasn't the case when I bought mine.
