Features
The Drop ALT High-Profile Mechanical Keyboard is a premium, compact keyboard designed for both style and durability. With a tall CNC-machined aluminum case, it offers a substantial feel and an ergonomic 6-degree angle for comfortable typing. While it lacks function keys, it maintains a full set of arrows and numerals for functionality. Its hot-swappable switch sockets allow users to change switches without soldering, offering complete customization with ease.
Fully programmable via QMK firmware, the ALT High-Profile enables custom key mappings and macros, making it versatile for gaming, work, or creative tasks. Dual USB-C connectors provide fast, reliable connections, and customizable RGB backlighting, complete with a built-in LED diffuser, delivers vibrant lighting across each key with options for millions of colors and dynamic effects.
Constructed from a thick anodized aluminum frame, this keyboard is almost twice as heavy as the original ALT, providing stability even during intense use. The doubleshot PBT keycaps ensure long-lasting durability and shine-through legends for maximum light display. Available in silver or black, the ALT High-Profile blends seamlessly with any setup while offering a powerful, customizable experience for serious typists and gamers.
