I got a webcam, but I have no idea how to use the settings, so the video quality isn't that great. I tried to do a sound test, but for some reason, the mic can't really pick up my keyboard's bottom out sound that well. Fortunately, both the mic and OBS have means of adding audio gain.
The Drop CTRL is a hotswap TKL keyboard, which means I can change out the switches. It important to note that the Kailh hotswap sockets are only rated for 100 cycles, so try to decide on your favorite switch by then.

I used a combination of black pudding keycaps, white pudding keycaps, and cotton candy pudding keycaps, but it's pretty obvious from this video that the black ones are the most photogenic. I ended up switching all but the spacebar to black after the video.

The detachable cable is a blue Asceny aviator cable, which has no coils. The cable is about 5.8 ft, which is below the allowed length for the Drop CTRL (7 ft). If you want to use an aftermarket cable, you'll have to be mindful of its length due to the CTRL's power guzzling.

As shown near the end, I replaced the stock stabilizers with better ones. I went with Zeal plate mount stabilizers, though I probably should have gotten the Novelkeys stabilizers instead for its lower price.
