This was my first time purchasing Drop's mystery box and I wasn't disappointed. After reading a few reviews from their last run, I was fairly certain I would receive items I would either have no use for or flat out wouldn't like. Safe to say I was pleasantly surprised:
Mystery Box - Series 3 Contents:
DCX White on Black
Skylight Keycap Set - Rose
90x Box White Switches
Mito GMK Pixel Deskmat - Cyan
Personally, I was hoping for anything aside from a Marvel desk mat (even though I am a fan), so rolling a Mito one was a win. As for the switches -- yea, not my cup of tea. I appreciate the quantity, as it more than covers most of my builds (65% is my go-to), but I won't be using them in anything I daily drive. Same goes for the Skylight keycaps; pretty colorway, but I've moved on from shine-through keycaps some time ago. What made this entire experience worth it though, was the DCX WoB set. I missed their BOGO sale and I wanted to try them against my GMK sets. Considering DCX retails for $99, the rest of this box was a bonus. As someone who's been in and out of the hobby for the past 6 years, I'd say this box covers newbies and enthusiasts alike; a semi-complete kit to try out new things and further tailor your interests.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I feel like I got the value I expected this round. I'll certainly use the desk mat and DCX kit and probably throw the Skylight keycaps and Box Whites onto a "throwaway" board just for fun -- which is kinda the point of this. I went in with no expectations and came out pleased with my purchase. Of course this may just be beginner's luck, but I'd consider purchasing again just to scratch that never ending itch for more keeb stuff.
