Drop Released the CSTM65 Following the Success of the CSTM80

The CSTM65 is a 65% mechanical keyboard that offers a compact and customizable typing experience. It features a gasket-mounted design, per-key RGB LEDs, PCBA-mounted stabilizers, and 5-pin switch support. The keyboard also has a removable magnetic case that comes in various colours and designs, allowing users to change the look of their keyboard easily. The CSTM65 supports Drop’s keyboard configurator, QMK, VIA and Vial, giving users more control over their keyboard settings.

The CSTM65 is currently available for purchase on the Drop website. Users can choose between a barebones kit (MSRP $79) and a fully assembled configuration (MSRP $129) that includes the keyboard, keycaps, switches, stabilizers, and a black polycarbonate case. Users can also buy individual cases, weights, and switch plates separately to further customize their keyboard. The CSTM65 offers a wide range of options for users who want a high-end and personalized keyboard in a compact form factor.
