DROP + THE LORD OF THE RINGS DWARVISH KEYBOARD
Forged with steadfast durability and finished with a faithfully translated script, our officially-licensed MT3 The Lord of the Rings Dwarvish Keycap Set truly approached the storied Dwarven standard of quality. Now, emerging from our own halls of stone is a board to match. It’s the new Drop + The Lord of the Rings Dwarvish Keyboard, and it’s the desktop foundation every fan has been waiting for. Made with rock-solid build quality and an aesthetic tuned to our MT3 Dwarvish keycaps, this powerful pre-built features a dark gray aluminum case with custom artwork by OSHETART depicting the Doors of Durin. Inside, it’s equipped with our Holy Panda X Switches and Phantom Stabilizers to deliver tactile typing so impressive, you’d think it was made by Dwarves themselves. Capping off the typing are keycaps from the Training Dwarvish Base Kit, which features Cirth legends with Khuzdul phrases—plus Latin alpha sublegends and side-printed Latin modifier legends. We’ve also added novelties and a few selections from Durin’s Forge Kit to create the ultimate Dwarven build. And they call it a keyboard. A keyboard!
