REVIEW – In my trips down the many, many rabbit holes associated with mechanical keyboard fanaticism, I’ve heard Cherry was the GOAT when it comes to keyboard switches.

REVIEW – Back in December of last year, I reviewed the Drop CSTM80 customizable mechanical keyboard. Well, they’re back with its little sibling, the Drop CSTM65. So instead of an 80% layout, you now have a 65. There are tons of 65% keyboards out there. What makes this one special? Does it have the same
REVIEW – Now that I’ve adapted to a hybrid work schedule—splitting my time between a home office and company campus—I’ve had to set up two full workstations. That means equipping two of everything, so I can remain effective in both settings. For me, the most crucial parts of my setup are my keyboard and mouse.

REVIEW – I’ve been in IT since the first PCs came to the personal market. I have used quite a few keyboards in my time. In the beginning, they were all mechanical. The clickity-clack clickity-clack of the IBM PC keyboard still rings in my ears. Since those days, most keyboards have gone the way to
