help Drop CTRL Mechanical Keyboard FAQ

Is Drop CTRL a 60% keyboard or a full-size keyboard?

It is an 87-key tenkeyless keyboard, not a 60% board and not full-size. The aluminum frame, QMK firmware, RGB lighting, and hot-swap sockets are its defining hardware features. [Drop product page](https://drop.com/buy/drop-ctrl-mechanical-keyboard)

Can I replace switches on Drop CTRL without soldering?

Yes, its hot-swap sockets let you pull out compatible switches and install replacements without soldering. Drop's specifications limit the PCB to plate-mount switches and stabilizers, so not every switch or stabilizer configuration is guaranteed to fit.

Does Drop CTRL come with Cherry MX Brown switches?

The CTRL has been sold with different switch options, and Drop lists Cherry MX, Kaihua, and Halo choices rather than one universal Brown configuration. Check the exact variant before ordering because the included switch changes the feel and sound. [Drop product page](https://drop.com/buy/drop-ctrl-mechanical-keyboard)

Can I remap Drop CTRL keys?

Yes, it is fully programmable with QMK, so you can assign macros and custom key bindings. It also has two USB-C connectors, but Drop describes the data connection as USB 2.0 speed rather than a USB 3 storage link. [Drop product page](https://drop.com/buy/drop-ctrl-mechanical-keyboard)
