Finding a ‘conventional’ keyboard in the world of mechanical options can be a bit difficult, especially if you want to please both mainstream folks and us weirdos who find building their own options a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. However, one of Drop’s most recent additions to their burgeoning lineup of great keyboards, the all-new Shift V2, represents an ideal halfway house that will please a lot of people.
The nerds in the crowd will be pleased to learn of some of the major improvements that the Shift V2 features over the original: new Phantom stabilisers for better acoustics, more foam inside, new switches, a new and improved chipset for the RGB lighting, support for 5-pin switches with a new PCB, and a brand new black colourway. It demonstrates the power of little things in the mechanical keyboard world, and they all combine to make the Shift V2 a truly great keyboard.
