Drop Launches the Sense75, Its First New In-House Keyboard Since 2020

An anonymous reader shares a report: As the mechanical keyboard hobby exploded during the early days of the pandemic, a lot of companies raced to launch new products. Drop, however, which maybe did more than anybody to popularize custom mechanical keyboards by making them and lots of accessories available to a larger audience, mostly added third-party keyboards to its lineup during this time. Now, however, it is launching the Sense75, its first brand-new in-house keyboard in two years. As the name implies, this is a 75% keyboard, meaning you get the full set of function and arrow keys, as well as three buttons on the right side (by default, these are delete, page up and page down) and, as has become standard these days, a knob. They're are RGB LEDs, of course, including underside diffusers that will create what Drop calls a "visually appealing halo' and, of course, hot-swap sockets so you can easily change out your switches." The keyboard will support customization through QMK and VIA to adapt it to your typing needs. The pre-built version will set you back $349 for the black edition and $399 for the white one, while the barebones version will cost $249 in black and $299 in white.
