## Features

- INTRODUCING OUR FIRST FULL-SIZE KEYBOARD: The Drop SHIFT is our largest and most ambitious undertaking yet. Done in the compact 1800 layout, it’s still significantly shorter than a traditional full-size keyboard, which frees up desk space for other gear while still including a number pad.
- HEFTY ALUMINUM FRAME, PREMIUM MATERIALS: Heavy enough to stay put when you're cranking out an email or locked into an intense FPS match, the frame has a low profile to complement your desktop. Known for its toughness and ability to hold a finish, anodized aluminum plays a starring role.
- KAIHUA SPEED SILVER SWITCHES: Utilizing the popular Cherry MX form, these speedy linear switches are made with 3.5 millimeters of total travel with 1.1–1.4 millimeters of pre-travel. They’re easy to press and boast a 70-million lifetime click rating.
- HOT-SWAPPABLE SWITCH FUNCTIONALITY. Want to switch your switches? Customize the SHIFT 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 SHIFT 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Keyboard - Non Standard Layout
*by N***. on November 2, 2021*

This keyboard is amazing in so many ways. But upfront you HAVE to know that it is a 1800 layout, this means it is a full keyboard but compact. The arrow keys aren't quite where you expect, that whole area is smaller. The right shift is half size as is the zero on the number pad. It takes a few days to get used to, but it is nice once you do.The quality is amazing, solid aluminum construction and they Halo True keys are very nice to the touch. But if you don't like them you can swap them out easily. The software they have for key and color customization is lackluster, but I have never been into that type of thing. The keyboard comes with several built in functions for the RGB lights, the rainbow wave one is my favorite. But there are others such as a "breath" function that makes it seem like the keyboard is breathing.Overall I love the keyboard after a few days of adjustment. Really you won't notice the changes after just a little bit of time. I would but it again in a heartbeat. And I would of gotten it from Drop directly if I didn't need it the next day.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality
*by M***N on August 30, 2021*

I originally got this keyboard for my SO who is a keyboard fanatic. He says it’s “a solid well designed keyboard” and even opted to switch it out with his gmmk. The software and support for the gmmk is better but the layout of this keyboard is nicer and it’s brighter overall. While it has more difficult and less color options the colors flow smoothly and the caps are nice and clear. It’s a tad expensive but he’s been fairly happy with the experience

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good, but not great straight out of the box.
*by B***S on February 9, 2021*

I like this keyboard. In fact, I'm typing on it right now. The 1800 layout is unique and is more compact than a full size keyboard while still preserving the numpad, which is something I can't live without as I use it a lot for work.The SHIFT is incredibly well-built. Out of the dozens of keyboards I own, this is by far the most solid-feeling of them all. The diffuse RGB around the edge of the board is a nice touch and the RGB can be turned on for only the keys, the keys and the edge, edge only, or completely off. The keyboard only comes with a limited amount of pre-programmed RGB settings. There are probably options to customize the lighting, but I haven't tried as it's not a big deal for me.The reason I gave four stars instead of five is that for this price I found the quality of the keycaps and the keyswitches (Halo Clear) a little lacking. The switches were among the loudest, most ping-y switches I have used. I have switched them out for Glorious Pandas. The Halo Clear switches do feel and sound a ton better after lubing, but I haven't tired them with this keyboard. The keycaps that came with the board look good but feel like cheap plastic. I quickly upgraded to a higher-quality PBT set. These two upgrades cost almost exactly as much as the initial cost of this board. These upgrades aren't necessary, of course, but just something to consider.I would recommend this keyboard in general, but only to those who are comfortable with spending anywhere from $270 to $500+ on a keyboard.Buy it.
