Now featuring support for VIA and five-pin switches.

, Drop is overhauling its in-house mechanical keyboard lineup with the new Alt V2, Ctrl V2, and Shift V2. Like their 2018-era predecessors, the Alt V2 is a compact keyboard with a 65 percent layout, the Ctrl V2 is tenkeyless , and the Shift V2 has all the keys of a full-size keyboard but smushed into a more compact 1800 layout. There are also upgrade kits to let existing Ctrl, Alt, and Shift owners turn their keyboards into V2 models.

To improve the keyboards’ acoustics, Drop has also added a few additional layers of foam to their construction, and it says their stabilizers have been upgraded to make them sound better.The keyboards are still made of aluminum, and their switches are still oriented in a so-called “north-facing” direction, which is better at allowing the lighting to shine through the keys’ lettering at the expense of slightly worse aftermarket keycap compatibility.
