Drop debuted the 'Signature Series Laser Wave Keyboard' with a vibrant, eye-catching design. This keyboard takes inspiration from Laser Wave, which is a neon light-filled style similar to VaporWave and others. The resulting keyboard has deep blue and dark purple keycaps with clear, laser-etched key faces. Behind these faces are RGB LED lights that are fully customizable by the user, but by default are set to Laser Wave-inspired colors such as neon red and neon blue.
Additionally, the font on the Laser Wave Keyboard is noticeable, as the longer words such as 'Backspace' have a future-inspired font. The board is built on Drop's CTRL High-Profile Case for stability and satisfying touch feedback. Additionally, the board features Holy Panda switches that deliver an excellent tactile feel.
