Drop Unveils The Lord of the Rings Black Speech CSTM80 & CSTM65 Keyboard Designs

[T0@st]

CSTM creations worthy of the Dark Lord. Into these keyboards, we poured his malice, his cruelty, and his will to dominate all life. Customize like the shapeshifter Sauron himself on the new Drop + The Lord of the Rings Black Speech CSTM80 and CSTM65. Enshrouding these pre-builts in their own shadows of Mordor are our all-new Black Speech CSTM Decorative Cases—featuring exclusive artwork and magnetic detachability for easy customization.

Officially licensed MT3 Black Speech Keycaps
Speaking that same shadow into existence is our officially licensed MT3 Black Speech Keycap set - showcasing legends written in the same sinister scrawl found on The One Ring, as well as extra accent keys from our Magma Kit. CSTM components to conquer any desk—Marching for Mordor alongside our exclusive Black Speech accessories is a whole legion of enthusiast components; including Gateron switches, customizable gasket mounting, case foam, case weights, and more...




Black Speech: Now Spoken on the CSTM80
"The language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here." Wise words from a wise wizard. In our latest CSTM80 creation, we did not heed them. Meet the Drop + The Lord of the Rings Black Speech CSTM80 Keyboard: a new typing machine inspired both by Mordor's Eye and its tongue. Speaking the latter into existence is the Training Kit from our MT3 Black Speech Keycap Set, featuring legends written in the same sinister scrawl found on The One Ring. And for the former—The Eye—we're debuting an all-new Black Speech CSTM80 Decorative Case designed by OSHETART with artwork of Barad-dûr and the Black Land.



It's a combination you can wear as proudly as Sauron wears the ring, or you can follow in his footsteps and go into disguise by easily swapping the case out, thanks to magnetic attachment. Inside, you'll find a legion of enthusiast components—including Gateron KS-3 Milky Yellow Pro Switches and Gateron PCBA-Mounted stabilizers—to rival Sauron's own. Start your speech on a darker note.

The Eye Has Arrived on the CSTM65
If the One Ring proves anything, it's that powerful things come in small packages. Taking after its maker, the Dark Lord Sauron, we're pouring his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life into the most compact member of our CSTM family. Introducing the Drop + The Lord of the Rings Black Speech CSTM65 Keyboard: a prebuilt that derives its power both from performance—but, like many things in Tolkien's world, from words themselves. In this case, we speak of Black Speech, the language of Mordor, brought to life here on the Training Kit from our MT3 Black Speech Keycap Set.



We also speak of an actual physical case: the Black Speech CSTM65 Decorative Case, debuting here with custom Mordor-inspired artwork by OSHETART. Alongside that cruelty, malice, and will to dominate, it comes with yet another power: that of customization. Easily swap it out in seconds, thanks to magnetic attachment. Together with a veritable army of enthusiast components—including Gateron KS-3 Milky Yellow Pro Switches and Gateron PCBA-Mounted stabilizers—it's what makes this compact Black Speech build a trinket nearly as great and terrible as the One Ring itself.

- the inscription on the One Ring is not "a sinister scrawl", it's in an Elvish alphabet Tengwar that more or less all Middle-Earth used. There are a lot of people who can read it, and they would be the target audience - only this keyboard doesn't use the Tengwar values with any meaning, they just slapped the table of characters on the keyboard.

Just silly.

The inscription on the One Ring is in Black Speech, a language created by Sauron for the servants of Mordor, and it is written in Tengwar, an Elvish script. The Black Speech is described as a harsh and rough language, designed to be the sole language of all Sauron's followers, though it was not widely adopted in its pure form. The inscription itself causes physical pain to those who hear it, except for Hobbits

Some real Tolkien lore there.

And how does one hear an inscription?
