Mechanical Keyboard Sound Isn't That Simple
Figure 1: I couldn't think of a more literal way to represent this article if I tried... Looking back just a few years ago, there’s no doubt that the huge influx of people that joined the hobby at the peak of the COVID pandemic were drawn to keyboards by way of YouTube, TikTok, and other audio-visual content platforms. Even as the output from these content creators has waned in recent months, their collective impact and legacy on the keyboard hobby is rather firmly etched in the history books. As a result of all of their sound tests, build logs, and opinion videos, the message is clear to any new person joining the hobby: mechanical keyboards are all about the sound.

------------------- "Please see below for an update of when you will receive your shipment. As you know all ports are having congestion issues, so containers are being pulled at random and not according to schedule.

No one seems really to care enough to take steps to prevent any future issues that might come up with this relatively small order.
EDIT: Who wants to place bets on whether https://www.massdrop.com/buy/v80-tkl-mechanical-keyboard ships first? It's slated for shipping on 4/2/2015.
Unfortunately, the port problem definitely has affected many drops across the board.
3/15 is the date we were told to expect the shipment ready to be redistribute to us from Cooler Master's warehouse. :(
