It’s that time again. Drop has brought back its excellent buy one, get one deal on its mechanical keyboard DCX keycap sets, which offer some exquisitely clean and fun designs. If you buy a standard white-on-black or black-on-white DCX set from Drop right now, you can get a second set from a wider selection for free with promo code DCXBOGOISBACK until 11:59PM PT on May 21st. Most of these keycaps normally cost $99 per set, so you’re saving a full $99 on that second one — or, in the case of the pricier Deep Space set by designer Booper, you’re actually saving $139.

Drop’s DCX keys fit Cherry-style keyboard switches, and while they’re quite high quality, they make for a better value than the popular GMK sets out there (which often have long delivery delays). They’re an even better deal with this BOGO promo.

Drop’s in-house DCX keycaps are constructed from ABS plastic with a modern cylindrical top design. These colorful sets are similar to popular designs from GMK and meant for Cherry-style keyboard switches.

You can easily step up your PC gaming setup with Govee’s DreamView G1 light strip, which is currently on sale at Amazon for $69.99 when you click the coupon for $30 off. The flexible, colorful LED strip is sized for 24- to 32-inch monitors (including ultrawides) and comes with a connected fisheye camera that points down at your screen, allowing the light strip to match the colors on your display.

This is the simplified setup of the DreamView G1 Pro that I reviewed last year, which also came with some flanking light towers. As cool as the towers are, however, they require a lot more space compared to a light strip that easily attaches to the rear of your monitor. Thankfully, even with just the strip, the lighting is bright and plenty immersive.
