Spotted this release a week or so back, and since I'm cheap, went on Taobao to try a bit of luck. Lo and behold, the base version (without Drop collab(?)) retailing for just below fifty USD. Not sure what changes Drop will be making to this particular release aside from the key caps; but in case you're curious, this is what I found with the non-Drop "base" version.

Bought the RGB Gateron Red Switch with Bluetooth 5.0, all black PBT key caps. Board has a plastic frame, small 5/6(?) degree incline. Extensible legs to further prop up the back (one height). Came with a ~1.5m USB-A to USB-C cable, wire key cap puller, short/stout key switch puller, user manual (a single A4 printed paper). According to manual, keyboard weighs in at around 870g
Hot-swappable, plate mount "cherry-like" stabilizers, white aluminum plate, PCB supports 3/5 pins
Switch housing wobble present, filmed them and they're now very fine. These "cherry-like" stabs do not look like genuine cherry. They have a good amount of wobble, and the "stab slider" had way more wiggle room than what I've seen before with any other stabs. They came out of factory with a small amount of lube - did some mods to eliminate the wobble and re-lubed them - still feels off, e.g. the two sides of the space bar feels different and inconsistent. Not sure if it's just my batch or not.
Wireless connectivity - Bluetooth connects up to 3 devices. Not sure how to figure out the encryption used as some the commentors have been asking - will give it a try if you let me know how
Media function keys - supported. (1) My PC (2) Homepage (3) Calculator (4) Media Player (5) Previous (6) Next (7) Play/Pause (8) Stop (9) Mute (10) Volume down (11) Volume up. No print on caps
MacOS support - (kind of) supported with a Fn key combination toggle. The keys along the space bar row will be in Mac format. Media function keys remain unchanged. (No additional Mac-friendly key caps, like those from Keychron)
RGB features - pretty much identical color schemes with those on a Keychron; can adjust speed and brightness; static and dynamic color schemes; lights can be toggled on/off. LED light sits on the top/north side of the PCB. Keyboard remembers the last used color scheme and brightness level after switching off and back on (not sure if this is a given for RBG keyboards, but thought I'd just put it here as well)
Battery life - been using this for almost a week, without much lighting on and still going. Some sources say the capacity is around 2700mAH.
Programmability, firmware support - did not find any official firmware update support nor programmability software, using the QR code official links on the bottom of the keyboard even in Chinese version. Right now Fn+Del = Ins

Hey! Sorry for the tardy response. Now with a bit more experience - was still quite new to the mech keeb scence back then - I now realize, yes, those stabs were terrible haha. I would say to just get a new set of genuine Cherry or Durock stabs. I ended up selling this board in favor of my Keydous NJ68 - my daily driver ever since. 75% not really my thing, and really enjoy 65%. Good luck!

Got this through kprepublic and man is the wireless range abysmal. It seems being less than a foot from the receiver is required for it to not miss keys. I thought it was broken at first. The package as a whole is pretty great though. so just treat this like the wireless isnt a feature.
