To be clear, I don't mind the gap, as that is the true 1800 layout - in which I like. It's just the combination of the 1800 layout and low profile design that looked a bit odd to me.
The beginning of this video drives me nuts. What are you doing going back and forth? LOL
Perhaps trying to get the right shot
Right? He's whirling that thing around like it's a fucking fidget spinner.
same
I think it may be a series of him placing the keyboard down, experimenting with what might look the best. If so, we generally only see the one shot he picks from that batch, while this might be the unedited version?
Annoying as hell
"Legends are on another piece of plastic and will never fade away." I wait for this sentence every time he reviews a keyboard with doubleshot caps.
God damn you can lay down and fall asleep in between that number and function row.
This only say the people who don't understand it
🔥🔥🔥
Yeah it's huge a keyboard and that's a lot of wasted space. If only they'd re-do the CTRL and ALT with these feet I'd buy one of those.
@BettadenuLIVE Thanks for the heads up! They don't mention anything about the feet in the drop. I definitely wouldn't spend $180 on it without an affirmative statement from them that they have changed to the sytem used on the SHIFT. Someone else has already asked the question - I'll follow it and see they respond.
@BettadenuLIVE Will do. I think I'm probably going to hold off either way. Right now it's only being offered with Kaihua BOX White, Speed Silver or no switches and no caps. Not really my preference in switches and its weird they don't offer an option with caps, but no switches...
That intro is me irl when taking multiple takes of the same shot
This is the relatable content I signed up for
Bro I don't know why but I feeling so satisfying when I watch ur videos. Keep up the good work bro 👍💟
Thanks bro
@@TaeKeyboards
are u a reviewer
Really hope that they implement the new feet system on future CTRL and ALT cause I do plan on getting the ALT in the future.
I see a ton of compact KBs on your channel with the num pad, would be a good idea to make a vid on the top 5 or something!
Cant wait for the drop SPACE with 200 keys
I was also kinda distracted at the start by the going back and forth and flipping lol
TWICE FANCY at the back lol
I love the floating key design.
u can get a free one
I absoluteky love the 1800 layout, but the huge gap and the floating key design kinda kills it for me
I think it would have looked better with the CP layout, like the TX-CP
@@rousseau327 agreed. Or the FC980/Andromeda layout which is even better
Regrets that I discovered this video today. I'm looking for a 96% keyboard, thought CTRL was the only keyboard developed by Massdrop and yet here we are, I'm so wrong.
Unless I find something else I might go for Iqunix F96. Thanks for the reviews, keep up the good job :)
What did you end up going for?
You're a brilliant reviewer! I'd love a look at the Realforce R2 PFU limited (so we can get an idea of silencing and APC).
confirmed TaeKeyboards is a KPop fan!!!
4th!
Hahahah!!
The gap between the number and function keys looks big because it *is* big. Standard full-size or TKL boards have a gap, sure, but it's not usually *that* big.
I definitely agree that their should be macros under that function row but I don’t mind the gaps in the row
@ 2:57 I hope they hear your advice and do that for a second run or revised version of this keyboard, it would be awesome to have macro keys on a compact keyboard, plus it would remove that gap filling it with something very useful [would look better imo]
i got the massdrop CTRL keyboard. lubed gat yellows . is solid, nice key sound and smooth smooth key action
Given the feature set, they were so close, SO CLOSE to make the perfect enthusiast full size keyboard!
But alas no Leopold layout, no high profile :( and That Function row gap !
Ewww! No thanks Sir!
Maybe the high profile will come out! They did that with the ALT. But yea, I agree, I wish it was a Leopold layout.
Function row gap is the first thing that I noticed
I'd love to see a standard 104/105 key keyboard like this. I guess they could call it the DEL :)
That gap between the number row and functions is a deal breaker for you? Talk about first world problems
Good news! The latest revision of the keyboard has the Leopold layout. If there’s enough interest, hopefully Drop will release a high profile version; that’s basically my ideal keyboard, given that I rely on the numpad but only use a handful of the nav keys. I’d much rather remap the home, end, page up, and page down keys to a different layer of the arrow keys than devote an entire widget to them.
That function row gap tho...
You can use that space as a pen holder.
Its odd when no 2 gaps are the same...
It’s like suzy lu’s forehead
oh nice the best AU channel has their hands on it as i lurk now DROP sorta often
all drop needs is battlecruiser layout so it could be more appealing to people like chryosran
Flamestoyer Drop Spacebar
The Holy F122 Size and Hotswap
@@HatsuHatsuHTS yes
@@arushguliani4106 A perfect name
What are you doing with the keyboard at the start of the video?
it looks like he was going for walk-up shots for showing off the board, but he just left the whole clip in as something in the background
Great review. I was hoping to find one of these, but it looks like they're all sold out. No indication of another production run. For someone who's just getting into premium/custom keyboards, where could one start looking for some good options? I find this fascinating & definitely subscribing. Thanks! Also Loved that this model had a number pad and hot-swap key caps.
The full 1u gap between the function and number rows is absurd. So much wasted space while chasing a shorter layout. The stabs don't rattle nearly as much as my high-profile ALT, though. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do with the high profile version of the SHIFT, but that gap is still disconcerting.
honestly should have gone with the same layout as the fc980. for such a minimal looking keyboard with no logos or anything anywhere, as well as being low profile, there is way too much space in between the function row and the number row.
Finally I have a title to put to that layout, i've been looking for a keyboard that compacts/relocates the nav keys while maintaining their 3x2 form
Is having a keyboard like this a better typing experience that let's say a Razor Blackwidow elite? Also, how should one factor in the longevity of a keyboard? Are they intended to be disposable/consumable items, or can they repaired? With respect to a Drop product, when happens when a few years have passed and something malfunctions or breaks? What recourse does one have?
Have you looked at the Punchy 1800 board. It was also a group buy. I'm looking for an 1800 board like this. Any other alternatives or will I just have to wait for another group buy?
I saw FANCY I pressed like, thanks for ur review ! BTW I felt sad for SANA
no one really cares about that ffs this is supposed to be a keyboard video
@moo well I was just scrolling down the comment section and I'm kinda fed up with those kinds of comments
If you only type negative angle is ok but for gaming flat is very ok. All in all flat is the best one :D . Btw where is wireless 65% hotswapable keyboard :D
Can you make more cheap keyboard reviews?
I love them
I have one to commend, Z77 87 key single gold version
What is that acrylic keyboard stand? I am looking for sturdy and large keyboard stands that aren't metal and there aren't a lot of options...
That Twice MV in the background
UPDATE : They have changed the design of the SHIFT and they have removed 4 nav keys. Now it doesn't have such a big gap between the alphas and the func row, more like the CTRL now
Hexgears gemini dusk comparison to the ctrl when it comes out???
Sure, if they give me one lol :)
They should make full size keyboard already. The same design as ctrl but standard full size. It would be awesome.
Pre-production board to match the pre-production first section of this video :')
Hi TaeKeyboards
Do you have any comments relating to the recent Kbdfans scandal?
I haven't looked too into it. But the stuff happened, Wei made an apology. Whether it was a legitimate honest mistake, I don't know. Now there's a bunch of fakes out there, which causes complications with aftermarket selling.
@@TaeKeyboards I will say this: it was a good apology. However, the issue is a really big deal, and I have a difficult time putting it down as a simple mistake.
I love the sound.
I prefer the good clicky sound
I have noticed that you have a really nice acrylic keyboard stand in the video. Mind sharing where you got that from? Thank you!
indeed they should add keys in that gap, audio media keys anything or maybe move the row down and add caps/ bloq num indicators, or a 4 keys to change profiles to the keyboard, to swap between regular keyboard and macro modes a few USB B pass through, maybe, i don't know something. i love the fact that they fixed the feet. its the closest to perfect keyboard i've seen.
Yes finally a perfect keyboard
Massdrop just changed their name?
Why was I never told?
Everybody will still call it Massdrop
Why wouldn't they allow for PCB mount switches, I am not a fan of the 1800 layout but this is a deal breaker for me on any hotswap board. What could it possibly cost to have those holes cut out?
Yeh I don't know. It's like that on the CTRL as well.
I looked a lot for these more "compact" full feature keyboard designs and in the end decided that good old legacy wyse 50/60 with the switches swapped to pandas or stotles is the way to go for me - most well-built like a tank and economical. the only downside is a very limited and basic diy led design on that old pcb, which basically is getting generic led strips and controlling them with an external usb control.
I'm looking for a keyboard that's Wireless, Mechanical, Backlit, with F keys and solid battery.
I would've killed for the original version of this keyboard :cry:
On their product page the picture no longer has that awkward gap, but I'm wondering if i will use the number pad enough to buy this over the ctrl version.
Was also wondering what is the best keycaps to buy for this keyboard. Looking to make a white and red setup that still reveals the rgb lighting.
I’m planning on putting kalh white, 1. Can I lubed/clip/band mod this keybaord? 2. What keycaps looks best with this?
twice fancy at the back lol
fellow ONCE i see
Man that thing is Fugly looking mess from the top down, looks way better from the side.
I love the intro :D
Gmmk compact?
I can't bring myself to like any of these low profile keyboards. It just ain't right. Love the layout, but low pro no go bro.
Fancy YOUUU.
I do though 😉
nearly perfect but that gap is hella large D:
put the numpad on the left.
put the numpad on the left.
put the numpad on the leeeeft.
Interesting keyboard, love the option for negative incline. Wish they didn't have the gaps between the f-keys, as well as the spacing between the main keys, arrows, and numpad. If they didn't have the spaces there this would be a fullish keyboard in the size of a tkl and that would be huge (not in terms of size). I don't personally mind the floating keys as it makes it super easy to clean, just some canned air sprayed across and its good as new basically. Also the space bar sounded like someone smacking a copper pipe against a wall, the other keys sounded fine though.
All they had to do was make a normal layout full sized keyboard, instead we get this absolute abomination of a layout in depression grey.
It's not really depression gray, still the layout is fucking weird and they could have added another row of keys. It's even good for marketing "More Function Less Space" "only once you diet do you understand the true ability of the body" and more.
But I do like the color scheme tho, mild cream white would also be dope.
Yes I also don't really like exposed switch design. Basicwlly I would prefer if it come with some attachable high top profile case and if you like exposed you could just remove it. Some keyboard manufacturers does that but really not a lot of. I really started to appreaciate not exposed design after I bought anne pro 2 ehich is very classy in my opinion
Hi tae,keyboard newbie here. What size stabs does this keyboard use? :)
6:56 for keyboard sound
Great review! It is quite expensive. Would you recommend a less expensive 1800 layout? Many thanks 👍
The Leopold FC980M is cheaper if you like Cherry
hot-swap seems pointless if it doesn't support PCB mount legs, it's a deal breaker for sure.
Does anyone know what game he was playing towards the end of the video?
I think it's Insurgency Sandstorm.
@@SaHaRaSquad Thanks I was wondering as well
Can you do a review on the Doomhammer Choc 96? It’s the only compact KB with numpad that I’m seeing that’s “budget” at $45usd
What’s next? Space? FN? Tab?
How are the stock stabilizers?
i love floating
The fn row and number row gap seriously turns me off. The extra reach to get to fn keys when you're pressing hotkeys like alt+f4 just makes it so much harder. Getting a hexgears gemini, which seems much better value, and without that ugly gap.
Their next keyboard is gonna be Tab, Esc, Win, Ins or Del.
Question... did they fix the feet for the new ctrl being produced?
It looks like they removed a row of keys from the right side. Can you confirm this?
I think the 980 definitely still feels a bit nicer without the full nav cluster. I wonder why they did just waste all that real estate..
@taekeyboards apparently they're revamping the design drop.com/talk/23460/were-redesigning-the-shift-based-on-your-feedback
i'm not calling it drop. i never will.
look how they massacred my boy
Hey can you make a custom keyboard like painting the body of the HyperX Alloy Elite white so it will be white body and red leds i think it would look clean
Are you gonna do an update for the final production model?
What wrist rest are you using in this video?
I love Kailh speed copper switches, but they're so loud. I have them on my GMMK TKL keyboard, and they're loud af.
Now just for the drop fn 60% board
OMG $200! That's a insane price! Do people really pay that much? If it had no switches would it be cheaper? .... They should sell it without switches only. To reduce the price of shipping, stock, and such.
It is available as a barebones kit (no switches and caps)
Can you change the stabilizers on this board?
Was gonna get this for the sideglow but damn that gap.
Hi which switch makes the less noise halo clear, true or the speed sliver. Sorry I am new to mechanical keyboards looking for something similar to cherry brown switch
You can buy the Shift with MX browns
@@mmcheddar hey I was planning to get this one but I am not waiting until December when they ship them so the plan is to buy Ctrl which they have cherry brown but is unavailable so my choice now is between switches that I mentioned before thanks for replying
after building my first KBD19X custom, and Keycult NO2, i just can't justify the prices on these prebuilt keyboards. which is ironic because i spend like 500 and 800 on those keyboards
Very TAE I like it
Wait so if I by accidentally buy PCB mount switches for my alt keyboard, I can still put it on but just cut off the two legs sticking out?
yep. The only difference between PCB mount and plate mount switches, are the 2 plastic bits that stick out (not the metal pins). So you just snip them off :)
fucken sick kickflip brah
i got my alt high profile with gmk lazer caps. im good!!
Nice keycaps. Not a huge fan of the alt though.
WTF they changed their name too. Ugly website and now name haha.
The website is horrid, who works at these companies and approves stuff like that?
The website is fine, and their name is fine. It's just different and you're not used to it, and therefore think it's bad. Happens all the time.
What's supposed to be so bad about their website? I mean I don't like that you have to register to even view the products, but that's the only thing I'd criticise.
@@SaHaRaSquad That's always been the case. What many of us don't like is the entire design and especially the UI change.
@@rousseau327 I have a harder time navigating and seeing all of the current drops in rhe keyboard section then i did before and the whole site looks cluttered IMO
Vaya el teclado de mis sueños, ni los chinos lo tienen.
“A larger segment of the market” Except it has no normal Numpad. I cannot use this design at all. Comparing to a Corsair at least the Corsair has the normal Numpad so it’s not even comparable. So does any full size Razer. Ask Drop if they think we’re accountants. Gaming on this board is impossible.
does anyone know of another hotswap 1800 layout keyboard??
Could you make a video of your favorite keyboards
My favorate is E-Yooso X8100
Man i really do not like the 1800 layout on a floating switch desingn
I feel like you included that sort of you spinning the keyboard different ways as a low key way of sneaking kpop into the video.
Nah, I always find a way :)
