Product Description
It’s been a keycap-filled decade here on Drop. When we started this business of group buys, we had no idea how involved we’d get in the Mech Keys community—and how much the community would give back to us Read More
According to the description in the Discussions tab, "Boxes will now include one "expensive" MT3/GMK/SA/DCX kit, two less expensive base kits (Skylight, Keysterine, Artifact, etc.) and an Artisan/novelty/specialty keycap. (note A)." Base kit implies enough keycaps to cover a keyboard.
Reading the information on the page gives you the answer.
"Is this a grab bag of loose keycaps?
No. All the items within the box are kits and not loose keycaps—with the exception of artisan and novelty keycaps which are, by their nature, individual keycaps. This is not a grab bag of random individual keycaps that will be hard to put together."
There's even samples of what might come in the boxes listed
You’re definitely going to get at least one set with enough caps for even a 100% full-size board—it will be either GMK, DCX or MT3.
Whether the other sets will have enough keys to cover your board depends on what size you typically run: Only 100%? Probably not. TKL or 60%? You should be okay.
Personally, since I exclusively run 40% this is not an issue I face. :þ
(In my case, it’s just trying to find an extra key in Home Row profile, which can be surprisingly challenging. Sometimes Drop includes Home Row Backslash, sometimes they don’t.)
no - you will get full sets. however... it may or may not be worth it anymore. 3 of the 4 sets i have gotten sent in previous rounds were shortly afterwards put on closeout - meaning i could have saved money and just waited for them to drop in price.
You’re not going to get Korean keycaps from a Mystery Box.
PBT Cherry profile? Yes, that is a reasonable expectation. I bought two Round 2 Mystery Boxes, a couple were Cherry profile (GMK Mitolet and DCX Magnolia) a couple were PBT (Skylight and Happy Planet) and a couple were both (Artifact Shield and Dolch).
