Update 3/30
Hey Friends,
Today’s the day. SoundID + Custom EQ update is available for Panda.
For this first update, you’ll need to use our OTW update tool, download the windows or Mac version here:
https://dro.ps/panda_updater_windows
https://dro.ps/panda_updater_mac
For best results, power off your panda, turn off BT on all paired devices (computer, ipad, phone, etc), and connect via the included USB-C cable and start the update process.
It should take about two minutes, and at the end you should see firmware version 20003 displayed:
Now, activate BT on the device that you’re using for SoundID (iphone, android, etc), connect Panda, and open the SoundID application (make sure you downloaded the update today).
At the bottom right of the SoundID app you’ll see a “+” and the word “connect” below it. Press there, and on the next menu you should see DROP Panda, and an option to connect on the next screen.
Initial connection and profile upload should take about...
Hi everyone! We are currently putting our efforts into a fairly wide range of benefits for DKC members - some more robust and feature-rich than others, some more appealing to y'all than others.
As we are thinking of which aspects would be the best to focus on and really make the program as a whole the best that it can be, we are coming to the best judges for help - you!
Please take part in the DKC Poll and let us know which aspects of the membership are most appealing. This would include highlighting opportunities to make part of the membership better that you value or would value if they were elevated above other perks, in addition to things you care about that are already done well.
Vote here!
As always, if you have any suggestions that don't fit the poll format/options, please let us know below!
Anyone that currently has the DROP + MITO DCD BANANA KEYCAP SET (latin alphas kit + yummy mods kit), I would like to buy it from you!! Long shot I know...
Anyone have any idea when Drop might restock? I'm not a skilled enough typist to get the slices kit and not constantly mess up.
If Massdrop can get Sennheisser to allow them to make a copy of the hd650, massdrop can definitely get logitech to make a left handed edition of the g502. There's always going to be the argument of ''use the ambidextrous design'' but its more expensive, the ergonomics are all wrong, and it's like telling everyone who doesn't use their right hand that they're worth less to society. I'm tired of being marginalised to the point that to win at an FPS I literally have to become temporarily right handed and end up with a migraine for some frags.
I've noticed that there are many people from Europe which would love to join more drops but are confronted with huge shipping costs and taxes making most products more expensive than they'd be on retail.
Also, I've seen that some products actually come from Sweden, Germany etc. in the first place.
Is there any chance that European vendors could ship directly to European customers or that we'll se a department for other countries in the future?
Hello DKC!
Welcome to the Keycap Roadmap, where you'll find a preview of upcoming keycap sets and other keyboard-adjacent launches. As you might expect, schedules are always in flux and subject to change, but we’d rather share the info and have to correct it than not share it at all. With that said, expect a bit of leeway on the exact dates or time periods mentioned here, and don’t hesitate to ask for updates/clarifications if something drifts.
Some quick housekeeping: there are a lot of things in the works at any given point, some of which you all will be more interested to hear about than others. Additionally, it’s just a crazy amount of work to try to keep all of that updated and provide any valuable information. As such, I’ve started with pretty much all of the keysets (it is the Keycap Roadmap, after all). If there is anything else you’d like to see shared here (Do you want to see upcoming desk mats? More insight into coming artisans/cables?) just let me know and I’ll do...

In my time browsing various headphone and audio forums, I’ve observed again and again a somewhat amusing contradiction. If you go to a sound science forum and ask “What is an audiophile,” they will tell you an audiophile makes purchases based on emotion and nostalgia, with little regard for research, price to performance, and specs which would allow a system to be EQ’d into any sound (including the “ideal” sound). Meanwhile, there’s an opposite camp that will happily buy anything just because it makes them feel good, because “that’s the point of music,” meanwhile they would define an “Audiophile” as someone who pays more attention to gear, specs, and listens to tone sweeps more than music. Conundrum! Paradox!
I’ll do you better: ‘WHY’ Audiophile?
The truth is the word “Audiophile” comes from two roots: Audio* is easy enough to understand, while -phile comes from the Greek root “philos,” which carries a meaning that doesn’t directly translate to...
Happy Friday, Keyboard Club! Trying something new(ish) here.
We've just activated a flash sale on the DCX Deep Space Orion Base Kit, with the price dropped to $79 until 11:59pm Sunday March 12th.
DCX Deep Space: LINK
This price is only available to DKC members, and is limited to 100 units. Because this is a sale price, you can use your monthly coupon with this item. :)
In addition, we would love to hear your input on what specific products or general types of products you'd like to see similar flash sales on in the future. As well, I am aware that this is very short notice and some of you will have already used your coupons - I apologize for that, this was unplanned; future flash sales will be announced with more notice to avoid such a situation.
