I love how this keyboard sounds without foams.
Looks also superb.
The downside is that I've got my kit with weird revision of PCB that have north-facing CAPS LOCK switch placement, non-standard CAPS-LOCK led placement and no VIA support.
I had to write my own flawor of QMK firmware for this keyboard to work properly with all features listed on product page.

This keyboard is fantastic, when it works. Sadly I have to leave it a 4 star review. I first ordered. It took a little over a week to get this keyboard this first time. When I received the keyboard everything looked great. No dings, scratches, or poor packaging. Sadly, there was an issue with the PCB. When pressing down the F key, the LED stops illuminating. On the upstroke when removing my finger the LED comes back on. Not a huge problem, but it made me question the longevity of the board, since it was already having issues out the box. After send Drop an email about the issue, they were very accommodating, and sent me another kit. This new kit is great no issues with any keys and I'm very satisfied.
Right away my favorite things about the board were the weight and the color (Anodized Green). Someone else has mentioned it but it's a little disappointing that there is no VIA support. The Kezewa website isn't much help either so that's a bummer. Otherwise, it's a beautifully crafted keyboard. It was easy to build in although the foam that's included isn't entirely compatible with the actual board. Maybe it was actually meant for the Enter67 V2 board.
The board itself is nice, lots of foam, very thick board, good color.
that said, it could be the nicest board in the world, but not having VIA support would have made this buy an absolute non-starter for me.
sure I could learn how qmk works and flash it myself (potentially losing RGB based on other discussion comments), but that’s not the point.
the point is this device is advertised as VIA compatible when it is not and the lack of help from support (I was told to contact Kezewa).
Not all PCB's for this keyboard are VIA compatible
This would be a 5 star product if it were as advertised.
Unfortunately, there's a version of the PCB that is not compatible with VIA out of the box, and the Right Alt key does not work because it is not mapped.
After wasting time with useless Drop support, which refused to offer any compensation for a faulty product or return options that would not cause me to lose money, I finally decided to try the QMK rebuild and reflash fix.
Luckily (I purchased two of these), I no longer have two bricks with keys that can't be remapped. I was able to use VIA after reflash. Unfortunately, the fix was not perfect. A side effect was the loss of the RGB feature.
I will minimize ordering from Drop in the future because of this experience. This is the first time I have had received a faulty product, and now I know that Drop support will not do anything for you in the event that there's a product like this.
