As someone who bought the previous mystery boxes & had friends buy these...
PLEASE - do not buy this mystery box. Let me walk through a few reasons:
- It is an objectively predatory model.
- The purposes of a mystery box is to give an illusion of chance.
- Drop does NOT give probability's associated with the keycaps/products that you can get. This data is not conveyed anywhere.
- Note - this DOES in fact make the mystery box illegal in international countries.
- Mystery Boxes are widely researched and are known as being serious means in which, especially young audiences, are susceptible to engaging in more risky, gambling behavior. https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/cyber.2020.0299
- Drop's products go on sale ridiculously often.
- The products that you'll be buying are advertised at a min $200 value.
- This is the full picture. The products go on sale so frequently. If a product spends 30% of it's time below MSRP, is the MSRP the true MSRP?
- In my mystery box, I gained MT3 WOB and two random pbt sets - the official value was $100+. In reality, based on recent prices, it was more like $80.

tamer123Yeah but as bad as this was both first second rounds and with the third being offered as much much more therefore by now!, The reality is compared to the abusive trickery pulled off by idabao earlier this year, one could say on a relative scale this wasn't nearly as horrifying and ridiculous and that was hell their boxes probably cost more than a pack of 10 switches and who needs a card saying thank you for being a valued customer when the evidence is in your hands clearly opposite I hate to be negative but the sad fact is is that consumers are no longer a value they are merely a Target and customer service used to make up the difference and you could use the vote with your wallet but now it doesn't really matter, if it's not your liking you'll get an apology and maybe a refund hell if you got a great deal though that makes all the time you spent pointless and so when mistakes happen or when things don't live up to what they're billed as it doesn't matter the customers the one that's either bending over voluntarily and taking their pants down or being forced to do it which depends on how you view that whole change but I don't know I got a bunch of Melba toast completely uninspired he caps that remind me of a forgotten time where technology evolves from and does not need to go back!

BprosekBoriWe shouldn't do comparisons of morality because there's always someone worse. Regardless of the scale, this is a horrible business practice & companies like Drop - who are unfortunately the ones' who are perceived as custom keyboard leaders - engaging in these types of practices should be held accountable for their lack of ethics.
At the end of the day, I hope people read the comments & note how scummy they're being - especially the Drop team member who is refusing to answer the odds.
Note - IF A COMPANY REFUSES TO GIVE YOU THE ODDS, IT'S HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THE ODDS ARE ABYSMAL.

How many GMK sets are in the 500 boxes that are sold so far? I would like to know the probability of getting a GMK set in mystery box.

Sure - that's my bad for misreading the question.
Please elaborate on the % chance of receiving a GMK set versus MT3.
Please elaborate on the probability of each set based on quantity. Thanks.

tamer123Man, you sure complain a lot. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Problem solved. You're such a whiny ass.

I participated in Round 2 and was generally pleased with what I received. But I think I’ll pass this time. My reasons:
* I don’t like that you’ve removed the guarantee about no duplicates. That was a big factor in my decision to buy 2 boxes last time.
* I’m particular about my deskmats. Unlike random colored keycaps that you can make work with any build if you have a little creativity, the deskmat sets the tone for the whole setup. It’s an aesthetic choice that dominates your desk, and that’s not something I’d want to leave to chance. (Also I have quite a few deskmats already.)
* No artisans. That was one of the most exciting parts of the previous boxes, what funky weird artisan would you get? I lucked out with a Dwarf Factory Dom last time, but knowing there’s not even a chance this round is a bummer.
* I am not a fan of the Skylight series. If there were a chance of Artifact Bloom instead, I would have been more interested. I just think Artifact’s colors are more interesting: Mango Matcha and Dusk versus several variations on the same old BOW and WOB with some colored mods I can never use as a 40s girl.
So there’s my feedback, for what it’s worth. I hope you return to the previous model for future rounds.

WandersFarWanted to reply on the duplicates. This actually wasn't on the product page details before but mentioned on the discussion page. This was an oversight to not include on the product page this time. If someone would receive duplicates we'd be happy to help and provide same support. The chances of duplicates have been reduced significantly since the first mystery box.

@Kevin Hey, check my review out, because the over $200 claimed value and the claim of this stuff not being B-stock/used was false on one of my two boxes. The one box had a Black Panther Base kit that had been opened (the tape was slit on the item's box, but the shipping box was still sealed) at some point to steal the alpha/space bar tray out of and replaced with a duplicate numpad/right column tray, and all your condescending customer support team had to say was "sowwy, no refunds or exchanges. but we're super serial about this so here's $15 credit towards a future purchase". You need to make this right, since I'm obviously talking to someone that couldn't care less about their job via the support system. I've spent several thousand dollars on Drop this year alone, and this is a an awful way to treat your customers and you've just lost one of your whales because of the rep's trash attitude.

If you're sticking with selling this glorified gambling, Drop needs at least to stop making a new listing every round.
If you aren't filling these all with hot garbage then just add more stock to the same listing each round so that people can post what they got from the last one in the comments and photos.
This should be only a positive for you if you aren't just unloading everything you cant sell, no?
Also for products that are on sale 70% of the year, you should be honestly using that price for the "value" of the box, not the "MSRP" only fools pay. I've seen people posting boxes from prior rounds where you could buy the items inside for under $100 at current pricing, assuming you even wanted it all. But you wont.
Also super neat you've removed the bit about no duplicates this round.
Honestly anyone spending $100 doesnt want a single skylight set. They are cheap $30 gaming keyboard tier. You should really just drop that from this and give people a shot at two different desirable profiles like DCX/GMK Cherry/MT3.

As I pointed out with the last mystery box round (which was upvoted), there is very little crossover between MT3 fans and Cherry profile fans, so I'm not buying this because I don't want to get the wrong profile. There should have been two versions, one for MT3 and one for Cherry profile.

GadgetBluesNot a bad idea. Could try something like this in a smaller scale.

GadgetBluesAgreed. As someone who tried and highly disliked MT3, I wouldnt risk the money if there was any chance I'd get a set.

Starting with 500 was smart. There's no way in hell they didn't have 1000 boxes planned from the beginning though.
But, the people on the fence about the $100 price will probably keep the product page open, and they'll glance at it all day, hovering over that add to cart button. Then suddenly, after a page refresh, it's out of stock! They've missed their chance now. What a fool they were for waiting on it. But look, in the discussions! They say there may be more! They keep an eye out in hopes of rectifying their mistake. And that's when it happens... They're back in stock! Another 500! No way they're waiting this time. They're all in.
It's a prefect predatory tactic. The fear of missing out again on something you've already missed out on works wonders.
I mean, think about it. If they're building this blind box out of things they're currently selling (and keep in mind, they say that's "mostly" what they've included), they would have had to look at their current stock, and what they can get in stock by the shipping date. They would definitely have a firm grasp on how many of these they could make. The fact that they just came up with another 500 boxes when they started running out is kind of dubious. They say themselves that it's limited to 500 because it takes quite a bit of time to assemble all the boxes, and any extras would take longer, but now they're doubling the number and still making the same ship date? Weird.
All that said, I bought one when they first popped up, so who am I to criticize.

I tried it for my first time and was ultimately disappointed. I saw a lot of people getting Marvel keycaps, not sure why I thought my box would be different. Now I have a Marvel Black Panther base keycap kit and matching desk mat. Has the Marvel series been unpopular? Must be if they have so much leftover stock. Chances seem to be high that you're getting this as it must be highly unwanted!
Then I got a skylight keycap set and some Holy Panda switches. Bunch of meh. Maybe I'll be able to flip the Black Panther set, but I think I'm part of the majority when it comes to not wanting to theme my desktop on a mediocre movie.

Quick update. The 500 boxes are almost sold out. Checking with the team if we can build more.
Update 2: we increased the quantity but we are almost out of stock again. Will check with our warehouse if we are able to make more for the weekend.
Update 3: sorry for the delay. We ran out but adding more quantities now. We have extra 500 boxes now available.

RafuinoYes these current boxes should still catch that schedule. The most accurate estimated shipping is always on the product page.

This is just a way to get rid of their mt3 keycap set 😂. Def not worth unless you like mt3.

asdasd32423I'm waiting to see how many of the reviews consist of Dcx skylights, MT3s a marvel desk mat, and some cheap switches with a few holy pandas
