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

I had joined R1 of this. If you have even have a slight idea of what you like then my opinion is this isnt for you. Unless your looking for the excitement of the mystery its better to go buy what you prefer directly.

Spend 100$ to get what you don't want, or spend 150$ and get exactly what you want.

Remember: these are sets that they can't sell that they want to get out of their warehouse. They could just discount a set to $99 and tell you what you're getting, but they're not. If you have no aesthetic preference, and just need any keycap set, go wild, but the odds of you getting a set that you don't care about and will not love using is very high.

leebenningfieldI get that they need to offload old stock, but yeah, why not just do a deep discount or a BOGO sale or something instead? I feel like these mystery sales are only hurting Drop, because many people are going to inevitably be disappointed with what they get, and then come here to complain. If you look at the reviews from last time, they aren't exactly stellar. A regular old clearance sale would generate far more goodwill.

If you can't sell a keycap set lower the prize until you can! You are tricking people into buying something they don't need or want! And on top you marketing this as thank you gift to the community? This is foul!

That's it? :D
NivaI just wanted to come back and say that I'm quite happy with the sets I received. I actually got three sets I was already considering for future builds. The best one was the GMK Pixel set though. Definitely glad I picked this up.

I'm a bit baffled by the criticality. I mean, literally no one is forcing you to spend $100 (or if you're a key club member only $80). Drop seems to be doing just fine, so it feels pretty clearly like a thank you to me. There's a lot of super mindless marketing strategies out there and this seems in perfect alignment with a community of folks who basically LIVE (I can only speak for myself but call it an educated guess that I'm not alone) for a good unboxing. And I have to uplift the value of getting things you may not at first, think you like. It's not like you're getting anything that isn't high quality, regardless of whether it's a 'premium' set or not. You gotta appreciate the sheer labor that goes into the process too. Haters gonna...and all that, but even if it's warehouse clearing (which, c'mon, some of it is sure, but probably not even most of it), as there are much less imaginative and more efficient ways to drop boxes. Sorry, I couldn't help myself there at the end.

Too bad my membership expired ~ would have been fun to use my last coupon on this.

I'm wasn't trying to get into the math of it, but I've already done a year and decided it wasn't worth it. The gist of it is that it costs ~$250 and two months to break even (at least $100 per transaction a month + $50 annual fee). Then the membership coupon doesn't stack with any promotions that are discounted via a dedicated coupon, which limits the actual value of coupon itself. I also did not feel like I benefited from any of the other perks such as a few days early access of various launches or promotion. For example, it doesn't even sound like Keyclub members got any early access for these Mystery Boxes even though they are limited in quantity. Anyways, I didn't mean for this to be a review of the club. I'm sure others are happy with it. I'm not, so I canceled.

LulunaNo worries at all, happy to hear the feedback. I admit we should do better with early access and some of the other perks - which we will! Once we are there (very soon I hope), hopefully it would be worth reconsidering.

Not sure if you were trying to reply to someone, but there's no context in your comment. Care to explain what made you so angry? ;)
Curious how many older keysets are included in these mystery boxes. Praying for GMK Triumph Adler haha
kouki.monsterNot a single one, at least in the last run no one got anything like that.

kouki.monsterThey've said there won't ever be any older sets in these. During the last run, it was almost always a Skylight or Artifact Bloom set, paired with a full or partial MT3, SA, or GMK set that's already currently being sold on the site.

Update: We're almost sold out. We will work on getting more, but if you're looking to grab one you might want to be quick. 2nd update: we increased the quantity already but the second batch is almost out as well. Thank you everyone who've joined the Mystery Box fun already! 3rd update: last batch now available. 300 boxes left and that’s it.

Drop is actually the GOAT. I was unhappy with my mystery box and they shipped me a new one free of charge. All I said was that I was pretty sure the artisan keycap was missing. I am going to keep buying loads of stuff from DROP now they totally earned my loyalty. Great customer service and going to sub to the mechanical keyboard monthly.
