I would be really hesitant to purchase anything refurbished from Drop. The reality is they were likely damaged during shipping and returned. I've had multiple Drop keyboards arrive to me with key caps dislodged and shattered, scratches all over the case, switches loose, etc.

I don't know if they've changed their shipping lately, but they ship keyboards in their own box with no outer box and the only padding is a small piece of foam above the board itself. The box is well designed so the board shouldn't be moving much, but it is a repeated problem and it is not the shipping service, it is the packing. Maybe getting them refurbished is a better bet at getting something with a bit more attention to detail but definitely inspect it closely if you do order.

My experience with DROP has been terrible.I ordered one of these "refurbished", but listed as new keyboard. When it arrived, it was a clearly used keyboard still with the invoice from the previous owner. Clearly not new, as the cables was thrown about, and the cable wasn't even coiled.

They didn't even try to pack it back nicely. When I contacted customer support, they said we can't help you. We won't bother shipping out another one, because we cannot guarantee you get a new one.

What kind of BS is that when their listing clearly indicate they are "new"?

I tried to get help from another person only to be harassed by the previous guy that said, he will close all my tickets, because there is nothing they can do to help me. Needless to say, I'm shipping it back. Never ordering from these crooks again.

Isn't this expensive? There are 65% keyboards that are brand new at the same price or less.

Decent deal if you are looking for these particular keyboards and they happen to have the switches you're looking for (only blues available for alt, yellows and halo trues for the TKL).
