Mechanical-keyboard-focused retailer Drop has opened preorders for its latest keyboard, the Sense75<\/a>. Unlike the retailer\u2019s other recent keyboards like the Icon collection<\/a>, where it sold pre-existing models in new configurations, the Sense75 is an all-new design \u2014 at least for Drop. <\/p>\n

The Sense75 incorporates a number of recent keyboard design trends popularized by models like the GMMK Pro<\/a> and Keychron Q1<\/a>. It has a compact 75 percent layout that\u2019s similar to what most modern laptops use, there\u2019s a volume knob at the top right, and it uses a gasket-mount design<\/a>. This means the switches are mounted to a circuit board that\u2019s sandwiched between two gaskets, allowing it to flex slightly as it\u2019s typed on. The design has proved popular with recent enthusiast keyboards, allowing for a softer typing feel and reduced sound levels without compromising on the tactility of the mechanical switches. But it does mean the Sense75 looks quite familiar. <\/p>\n

Like the GMMK Pro and Keychron Q1, the Sense75 is customizable. Its keys will be remappable using a new configurator that\u2019s coming soon from Drop, and the retailer is also promising support for remapping with QMK firmware and VIA<\/a>, the latter being the same excellent visual remapping software that Keychron\u2019s configurable keyboards use. The Sense75\u2019s switches are hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed without the need to desolder them. <\/p>\n

The Sense75 offers a few design improvements over Drop\u2019s earlier keyboards, like the Ctrl<\/a> and Alt<\/a>. First, the board uses a five-pin circuit board design, so the Sense75 is compatible with a wider range of switches than Drop\u2019s earlier keyboards, which only supported three-pin switches. (You can turn five-pin switches into three-pin switches with a flush cutter, but who has the time?) The keyboard\u2019s switches are south-facing \u2014 oriented with the backlight LED on the bottom, rather than the top\u2014 to minimize keycap compatibility issues. <\/p>\n

Other features include per-key RGB backlighting, as well as an RGB underglow that subtly illuminates the desk underneath the keyboard. It\u2019s wired, and the pre-built models include \u201cfactory-tuned\u201d stabilizers that Drop claims will minimize rattle. <\/p>\n

Drop\u2019s keyboards have a reputation for being expensive, and the Sense75 is unfortunately no exception. The bare-bones model, which comes without switches, stabilizers, or keycaps, starts at $249 for the black anodized version and $299 for electrophoretically coated white. Meanwhile, the pre-built model (which includes Holy Panda X switches, DCX keycaps, and stabilizers) starts at $349 in black and $399 in white. Preorders open today, with shipping expected in early November.<\/p>\n

That makes the Sense75 a lot more expensive than competing keyboards from Keychron (which currently sells its knob-equipped Q1 for just under $180 with switches and keycaps) or the GMMK Pro (whose bare-bones model sells for $170). Is the Sense75 worth the extra cost? Stay tuned for our full review.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
