SeekerDrop SHIFT
The Drop SHIFT is a great keyboard for gaming. It has amazing latency for fast movements, and the Cherry MX Brown switches on our unit have a short pre-travel, though some other models have a much shorter one. This keyboard is remarkably well-built and has full RGB backlighting. However, it doesn't have any dedicated software, and the customization options aren't very user-friendly.

Product details
- INTRODUCING OUR FIRST FULL-SIZE KEYBOARD: The Drop SHIFT is our largest and most ambitious undertaking yet. Done in the compact 1800 layout, it’s still significantly shorter than a traditional full-size keyboard, which frees up desk space for other gear while still including a number pad.
- HEFTY ALUMINUM FRAME, PREMIUM MATERIALS: Heavy enough to stay put when you're cranking out an email or locked into an intense FPS match, the frame has a low profile to complement your desktop. Known for its toughness and ability to hold a finish, anodized aluminum plays a starring role.
- HALO CLEAR SWITCHES: This SHIFT model comes equipped with Halo Clear switches, which have a slight preload and a light-yet-sharp tactile bump. Primarily used for typing, Halo Clear switches gently discourage bottoming out with each keystroke.
- HOT-SWAPPABLE SWITCH FUNCTIONALITY. Want to switch your switches? Customize the SHIFT with ease thanks to hot-swappable switch sockets, which allow you to swap switches in seconds—no soldering required.
- OPTIMIZED PER-KEY LIGHTING WITH MILLIONS OF COLORS: The SHIFT is illuminated with fully customizable RGB backlighting and under-lighting. Set your millions of LEDs to a single color or light them up with custom rainbow wave patterns.
PROS
+ Short pre-travel and amazing latency.
+ Feels remarkably well-built and solid.
+ Full RGB backlighting.
CONS
- Lacks a wrist rest.
- Doesn't have any dedicated software.
- Customization options aren't user-friendly.
