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: this has kinda burnt me on buying stuff from massdrop. I completely understand waiting a longer time on group buys but without good communication on why I'm waiting so long on something that realistically shouldn't take this long it's becoming frustrating.
I, for one, am glad MiTo cares enough about the quality of this set to make sure it is the best it can be. If you can't handle minor delays maybe group buys are not for you. For the rest of us, some things are worth the wait.
I am curious in what way you think this could have been handled differently. I think the communication has been good, especially compared to previous drops that have been delayed. They have been seemingly transparent about the delay and its cause. I understand it's not ideal to wait an extra month but it seems like a modest compromise when you consider the context.
