Put on your thinking cap and grab some tiles (no peeking!): Officially licensed by Hasbro, this mechanical keyboard has everything you need to start typing right away.

Hey guys and gals!!
This is a really exciting drop as it is one of the very first drops in mech keys to have a partnership of this caliber involved in the drop! I expect we may see a decent number of new faces around here, which I’m also really stoked about! I wanted to give out a little basic info here just for any newcomers that have been drawn to this set. This drop, which includes the custom keycaps and a keyboard, is perfect for anyone that doesn't already have a mechanical keyboard and wants a quality keyboard & these epic custom caps right out of the gate.
If you don't know me, I'm Andy aka livingspeedbump (long story) aka LSB. I've run KeyChatter.com for years and been actively designing and creating within the mech keys community for years. My first set, Jukebox SA, was the very first SA keycap set to ever run on Massdrop, and recently my GMK Honeywell set won Keycap Set of the Year in the 2017 Deskthority awards. I've also helped design keyboards, like the UNIQEY C70 that recently sold on Massdrop.
One of my favorite parts of this community is watching is grow, and helping out new folks along the way. I know this can be a very intimidating hobby to get into with all the new lingo, available options, customization, mods, etc. My contact info is at the end of this post, so if you are new and have questions please don't hesitate to reach out to me!
KEYCAPS Keycaps are just that - the plastic pieces that cover your keyboard. Keycaps themselves are generally interchangeable across keyboards (so long as they have the same, plus-sign stem known as a “Cherry Stem”). They’re easy to put on and take-off of a keyboard. Custom keycap sets are a staple of the mech keys community, and are far more than just a visual overhaul. They often provide an entirely new typing experience to a keyboard. The Scrabble keycaps are high quality PBT with dye sub legends. These legends will never wear off!

KEYBOARD
The WASD keyboard included in this bundle is a very high quality tenkeyless board (no numpad). I have a comprehensive review on the fullsize, but otherwise identical WASD V2 here: https://www.keychatter.com/2015/08/07/review-wasd-v2/
WASD makes some of the finest production boards on the market. I love the understated design and exceptional build quality!
INSTALLATION
You may be wondering how you install the caps on your keyboard, and how difficult the process may be. Fear not, it’s VERY easy!

In this case, because you’re getting a separate keyboard and keycaps, you’ll simply have to place the keycap over the proper key, press down, and boom - keycap attached! The larger keys like the spacebar and enter keys can take a little more fidgeting, but they’re just as easy to put on. The only additional thing you’ll need to know for them is that there are additional stabilizers that you’ll need to attach to line-up with the keycap when you put it on.
Hopefully this was of some help for everyone! Again, if you have ANY questions at all please don’t hesitate to reply to me here or send me a message to me at Reddit, GeekHack, or Deskthority (my username is livingspeedbump there as well.)
Well I see they changed the keyboard to a WASD V2 in the included section now. Glad I didn't order thinking it was going to be the CODE, like it used to state.
Hello friends!
So excited to finally announce this Scrabble-themed mechanical keyboard!
This really is, literally, a dream come true for me. I designed this board back last year after waking up from a dream where I could type on Scrabble pieces. Fast forward to now, and it's happening!
It was really important to me to have a keyboard as an option for people (not just keycaps). I know there are a lot of Scrabble players out there who don't necessarily build a bunch of keyboards in their spare time, and this is the perfect bundle for them! I'll personally be showing this to some word game-loving family members. :)
If you have questions, feel free to ask. Until then, here's some info you might find interesting! Every element of the design of this set was taken into careful consideration. The fonts for the letters and numbers match the Scrabble branding down to the width and spacing. The colors were picked from actual Scrabble sets. I went through several individually and picked colors that were about average across them (since it varies depending on when sets were sold). Plus, the shapes of the XDA keycaps were perfect for Scrabble tiles!
Hi everyone,
We have an update on the status of the Massdrop x Hasbro Scrabble Mechanical Keyboard. The keyboards are currently awaiting final approval from the designers, after which they’ll be shipped to our warehouse and undergo quality control checks before going out to members. Unfortunately, that means we’ll be unable to meet our estimated ship date and now expect shipping to occur in late September.
We apologize for this delay and we’re working with the team to get the keyboards shipped as soon as possible. If you don’t want to wait the additional time for them, you can cancel your order via the transactions page: https://www.massdrop.com/transactions.
Thanks so much for your patience. We’ll be back in the next few weeks with another update.
I noticed that there are two pictures of the keyboard in description.
First keyboard has "ESC" and "Enter".
Second keyboard has a star icon and "Scrabble" respectively.
Which will I get with my purchase here?
mc1brewI didn't know about the second set of F & J keycaps. One pair is regular, the other pair is homing dished. I updated the picture to show this. Using the regular pair, you can rearrange the alpha layout from QWERTY to various alternatives (Dvorak, Colemak, etc.).
Hi everyone,
We’re checking in to let you know the Massdrop x Hasbro XDA Scrabble Mechanical Keyboard is making its way through production!
Cassidy has confirmed the plastic colors for the different keycaps and we're now working on finalizing the production legends. Check out the photo below for a preview of the project in progress.
We’re on track to meet our estimated ship date of September 4, and we’ll update everyone in late August with the status of the shipment.
Kinda crappy of you guys to change the description and included items in the middle of a drop. I would be pissed if I was one of the people that joined expecting to get the CODE keyboard with LED backlighting.
For those that don't know this drop used to say it was for the CODE keyboard with backlighting. Now it is for the WASD V2 which has no backlighting and caps that can be customized for the same price as this on the WASD website.
