As niche as this wired keyboard wants to be, I'll bet it would sell far better if it were USB/Bluetooth 4.0 or above. I can't think of a Bluetooth keyboard that has the kinds of extras this one would. I only mention this because Keycool makes other keybs with Bluetooth.
I love the look of this TKL keyboard and I'm interested, but for $200, I'd expect much better detailed information in the keyboard description. Too much info is missing for me to comfortably pull the trigger on this keyboard.
MD, fix the description with more photos, details about the electronics, customization options (both H/W & S/W), and I think you'll have more folks committing. At this moment, the description reads a slight step above ones found on alibaba...
FreakyFredMy only guess is that they don't want this to cannibalize sales from the CTRL drop, which presumably they are making more profit on.
There needs to be more information on this. If folks had more info they'd likely be buying.. I might be buying if I had more information.
This is totally my fault, was pretty confident about the hot swappable part. But after double checking the chinese manual, I will need further confirmation from Keycool. Sorry for the mislead guys.

XiKHi XiK, we are a groupbuy organizer in CHN and we have helped Massdrop run so many GB at CHN, now our team wants to sell KB product and accessories at MD, could you help me ? I have write email to your team, but sorry no one answer, if you are convenient, pls contact me: gorge@kprepublic.com
Thank you so much and show my great respect to you.
Well, it was either KBD8X from KBDFans (still have few left), or this.
But considering that there is almost no useful information provided in this drop, choice was made for me.
Dear Massdrop, why did you even bother doing this drop? It just doesn't make any sense.
Is it really hot swappable without soldering switches?
And choosing MX switches is + 10$ in the description but all options with MX swithces are + 15$ when joining drop. Which one is right either 10 or 15?
