Great, solid keyboard with above average RGB show off
Disclaimer: it's my first custom keyboard but not a first keyboard in my life: I'm using them daily since 1990. Anyway, in short, It's A+ for everything. Tactile switches are a bit louder than I expected but that's personal preference. The only thing I'd wish for would be a full size option with ISO layout. Other than than, it's brilliant.

Sturdy and Sleek
Extremely sturdy. Super well packaged and arrived quickly. The gateron yellow switches sound great and the space gray color looks sleek. The rgb lights look fantastic.

Build is okay but stabilizers on the integrated plate is horrible
I like the build but the stabilizers are anything but stable. They rattle around on the integrated plate and cause the spacebar, shift, enter, etc to just sound like shit. No amount of foam that you add is going to fix that. I can lightly tap on my spacebar and see the stabilizers move up and down, side to side from its mounting point. Absolutely horrendous for a V2.
You would have to invest more time and effort into fixing the stabilizers but its just not worth it. Why even make a V2 if you are still using plate mounted stabilizers.
Don't waste your money on this and get a GMMK or Keychron instead.
Edit:
Forgot to mention. LED lights around the base of the keyboard have horrible diffusion. You can see where each individual LED sits.

Poor quality
There seems to be a issue with the switches HPX or the firmware. Any and all keys are affected with this issue, and I have even reflashed to the stock QMK's XAP firmware. Out of ever 1-5 key presses the key will be stuck and stay pressed until a key is pressed or unplugged. The keyboard will also disconnect at random times and be unrecognized regardless of PC or USB ports it is plugged into

Bottom ring LED aren't very diffused and broke in exactly 29 days after usage.
It is, and rather was my main keyboard I've ordered recently and really enjoyed the feel and sound up until the LEDs no longer worked at ALL even after resetting via the button under the space bar, configurator, and fn key reset. The LEDs turned off completely, and when I messaged DROP about it they said nothing they could do until I sent in my keyboard now, but I'd be without a keyboard at my current location. I could understand possibly holding a deposit or charging me full for another board if I didn't return the broken keyboard after a set amount of time, but at this point they are basically saying the inconvenience of not having a board at all is the only solution when they sent me a broken item. Unfortunately as it stands I can't recommend this at all with how poor of a build quality it is, and well there are plenty of other custom keyboard websites popping up this encounter has left a pretty poor taste in my mouth and will probably be my last time purchasing from DROP since there is no other solution then to buy a new temp board (which to some might not be a feasible solution since this board is $170-200 pre-tax.) However for me it's more the principle of how this was handled.

VIIIVIIIXCIHave you tried Boot Magic? You can do that by unplugging your keyboard and hold down the ESC key. After that re-plug in your keyboard and see if that fixes the LED issue.

Case slightly warped but love the keyboard
The case came slightly warped out of the box, it was wobbly on every surface I put it on, a few pieces of tape on the foot fixed the issue.

Perfect for my needs
I like the look, the feel. I use this for work 10 hours a day. The feedback with the holy pandas really made a difference.

Cheap build and overpriced
Build felt cheap but I liked the kinda low profile the case has, but for me this causes the keyboard to wobble. Overall, no matter what switches I put in plus the foam mods, it also sounded pretty bad. The keyboard also initially refused to work with VIA or anything out of the box and required me to install Drop's software to flash the bios and overall annoying experience. First keyboard I've bought from drop, with no knob and and a $169 price tag though this just isn't a good buy to me. Nice RGB though.
