Drop Mech Keys Meetup Recap - Thanks for Visiting!
As you may have seen, we just hosted our first meetup in quite a while here at Drop HQ (Corsair HQ, but they seem to like us enough :) )! It was a blast to get to meet so many enthusiasts local to the bay area—it had been 10 years since I was last hanging out with keyboard nerds in the bay, at KeyCon 2014. We had a great time hosting everyone at the offices, checking out all the very nice boards y'all brought, and sharing some of our own projects/spaces! I knew it would be fun to host in the Game Room when I first saw it in person, but seeing it come to fruition was still so cool. Alright, I'll stop blabbering on now. xD Picture time! (Oh, real quick - there will be more of these! Stay tuned for more info and to catch the next one!)

Either way (GeekHack/MassDrop) - I would have liked to have bought Gateron Yellows.
I'm not saying MD is perfect - but this join the "hate on MD" bandwagon is crazy. They do have some deals but everyone acts like they are pointing a gun at their head to join.
As far as I know MD isn't in the business of losing money on every deal. You can try imsto/qtan if they will give you the time of day (ie: Never!) to buy Taobao stuff.
It's not a secret that MassDrop can't compete with other sellers all the time. I've seen several group buys on MassDrop where the product is very similarly priced on Amazon and you can get it shipped to you a lot earlier.
This is just a case where the GH community is just blowing this out of proportion in my opinion. I think it's great that people have an option to get it cheaper, but for those who want to stick with MassDrop this is an option.
