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!)

dam I just woke up and there were 30 secs left in the drop. I was able to join.
$300 for 4 months is nothing in the KB world.
that said you are also making some rather baseless assumption, they aren’t “sitting on the funds collecting interest“, they send the money to GMK and then GMK uses it to manufacture said keyboards. That’s how purchasing without a distributor works. That’s economics, something even a chump would realize.
i dont really see why it matters tho. i struggle to believe you would have purchase this keyboard even if it was readily available, as if you really wanted it you wouldn’t care either way.
If high end mechanical keyboards arent your thing, there is no shame in that, but there is no reason to shit on people who disagree with you simply because you really enjoy your razer keyboard. There are no readily available keyboard that are comparable to this that I am aware of. 0.
It’s ALL through group buys, and you are LUCKY if they take 4 months AND you often have to win a slot, because that’s the other thing is, most high end kb GBs have limited slots. look at any of the nicest boards like any duck keyboard or for something more specific look at the TGR-910 CE; 30 slots, around ~400 shipped, 8-10 weeks, sold out in about a minute. but that’s just the beginning. Keyboard like the MIRA sometimes take a year or more to deliver.
also, almost everything on massdrop ships in like 2-3 months anyway.
I’m not really sure why you are confused. They cannot magically ship the keyboard before it’s manufactured. CNC cases take time, there is no getting around it.
Raiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiightt... its the end of 2017/ beginning of 2018 and I am surprise people as stupid as you exist.
You can easily file a fraud claim with your credit card company and get your money back.
I signed up for GYM, and on the 6th month the Owner disappeared. Requested a charge back and got full credit back.
