Review on Drop Planck Mechanical Keyboard Kit V6 — DIY Compact 40% Ortholinear Layout, Kaihua Hotswap Sockets, Programmable PCB, USB-C, And Aluminum Case (High-Pro, Black) by Kino Gerami

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent, Flexible Little Keyboard

Can’t recommend a Planck enough! You need the patience to get used to ortholinear, but once you do it’s very comfortable and I now prefer using it over normal keyboards. QMK is incredibly flexible and customizing your layout is perhaps the most useful aspect of these keyboards; making effective use of layers has the potential to completely change your workflow. I highly suggest giving this keyboard a go, especially if you’re comfortable with tinkering and programming. Even if you’re not, there are many guides out there online to help you out!

Pros
  • FULLY PROGRAMMABLE PCB: The matte black PCB features an ARM/STM32 chip and can be programmed however you like. It comes pre-programmed with the standard layout, but it also has a reset button to reprogram the keyboard.
Cons
  • The black color may show scratches, scuffs, and dents more clearly than a lighter color option
