Product Information

The object of this quick-look article is the recently launched Drop + RedSuns GMK Blue Samurai keycap set, which in itself is a companion design to RedSuns' first design, the Red Samurai keycap sets. Naomasa had a reputation for charging into battle with vivid red armor to intimidate his enemies, and this set follows suit.

I once again have to convey my disapproval of the whole design; the aggressive "Blue Samurai" writing and design make it seem more like an unauthorized action figure is inside. By this time, my full reviews of the Drop CTRL and Drop ALT keyboards would have been published for all to see.

Yes, they will develop a shine over time, but differently from the norm, and the feel of the smoother ABS plastic often goes more appreciated by enthusiasts, so much so that these keycaps are highly sought after.

New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging . We've recently been informed by our keycap partner, GMK, that the ship dates on all keycap sets have been pushed back due to manufacturing delays that they are experiencing. Above are two recordings of the different keycaps installed on the same keyboard and switch assembly, namely the Drop ALT with the Halo True switches.Seen above is an example keyboard build using the retail units, including the add-on Hiragana script keycaps. With the sleeve removed, we see a cardboard sheet tucked in place to hold the contents of the first layer in place, which in turn is a cardboard inlay that fits over the bottom layer as the top itself. Side lighting is unaffected, so all your fancy RGB lights will be purely aesthetic in this case, with the keycap legends not really visible in the dark.

What might irk fans of the original RedSuns GMK Red Samurai sets is that the base kit no longer uses the Nishi set of keycaps with the Hiragana script underneath the modern Latin English alphabets. Plus 40 years of collecting retro computers, consoles, games, peripherals, mainframes and mini's as well as their software, keyboards, games and manuals. How do any two layouts for other languages or countries look like, compared to each other, and exactly what characters do they provide? I'm asking RedSuns if he knows differently, since he's saying something different than what Drop is saying -- and if not, I'm asking him to edit his post so that anyone else checking this thread will see correct information about the ETA of the 2nd GB. These are now separately sold for both the Red and Blue Samurai keycap sets, and fans of the Hiragana aesthetic may also enjoy the pure Hiragana kit seen above.

With Drop making many sets available for immediate purchase without long lead times, now is as good a time as any to find out if that's still the case! It is also on the sides that you see the manufacturing point of securement, and overall build quality is excellent.

In the custom layout I'm building, Super and Hyper are mapped to GUI and Menu, and Fn is activating a QMK layer.

I've also asked if it was possible to receive a confirmation Drop will do the same preset in blue color before the custom drop ends.Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. The latter was available in three versions to fit the three Drop Studio keyboards (CTRL, ALT, and SHIFT) in addition to more custom options, so news of a more customizable set in blue intrigued many. Aside from a replacement Esc and Enter key, the base kit lacks the golden keycaps, and not having a single yellow space bar in the kit was disappointing.

Adding to the temptation is the optional Mechcables Blue Samurai coiled aviator-style split cable seen above. The Drop ALT is one such keyboard, and I had a couple of keycaps on the modifiers that didn't fully bottom out without impacting the switch housing.

As with the Red Samurai set before, the RedSuns Blue Samurai keycap design takes inspiration from General Ii Naomasa from the Sengoku Japanese era. Instead, there is a whole separate add-on for the space bar kit in this color, which adds positively to the aesthetics and negatively to your budget.
