In a city named after night, the pursuit of one thing is shared by criminals, corporations, and citizens alike. It's apogee—the best, the greatest—and it's caused many to alter themselves with next-gen tech, building on their bodies and becoming borgs. The story's the same on the new Drop Paragon Series Cyboard: the latest installment in the highest tier of our Icon Collection.

Outfitted with the finest enthusiast components, including hand-lubricated Holy Panda X Clear Switches and Phantom Stabilizers, it delivers an unrivaled tactile typing experience. It also features hand-placed dampening material between the case and the PCBA to take that experience further with ultra-satisfying texture and acoustics. On the aesthetic side, apogee is all but attained via the Drop + MiTo DCX Cyber Keycap Set, elevated by an exclusive Cyber Yellow CTRL High-Profile aluminium case. It's a look straight out of 2077—hand-assembled in the USA for exceptional performance, and shipped with a soft carry case for secure, streamlined carry.




OUR PARAGON: CLASS-LEADING CUSTOM KEYBOARDS
Desktop centerpiece. Workspace essential. Style statement. Your keyboard is an extension of you, and you deserve one that truly impresses. In our Paragon Series, we set out to create the ultimate enthusiast experience—no assembly required. Equipped with only the finest components, and all of the extras you could ask for, our Paragon Series boards are hand-crafted and hand-lubricated here in the USA for peerless performance right out of the box.



In the all-too-familiar Cyboard, hand-lubricated tactile Holy Panda X Clear switches pair with Phantom Stabilizers for some of the most consistent, satisfying tactile typing available today. Below, meticulously placed dampening material further optimizes the sound and impact of each keystroke—while above, our electric DCX Cyber keycaps provide a retro-futurist feel with a look inspired by one of the world's hottest video games. Throw in QMK programmability, hot-swappability, full RGB lighting, and a soft carry case, and you've got a desktop implant worthy of any setup.

"borgs" t.t
Looks like it is a solid, well made KB, but yowza, what a buttfuggily color scheme..:roll:

And I see no resemblance or similarities to anything even remotely related to The Borg here, other than their use of the word itself..... unless they are implying that people who buy or use these KB's would somehow turn into "CyBorgs" :D
