Mechanical Keyboard Sound Isn't That Simple

Looking back just a few years ago, there’s no doubt that the huge influx of people that joined the hobby at the peak of the COVID pandemic were drawn to keyboards by way of YouTube, TikTok, and other audio-visual content platforms. Even as the output from these content creators has waned in recent months, their collective impact and legacy on the keyboard hobby is rather firmly etched in the history books. As a result of all of their sound tests, build logs, and opinion videos, the message is clear to any new person joining the hobby: mechanical keyboards are all about the sound.

(This is just a guess, else I do not know what could be the obstacle for shipping arrangement) Edit: Received official updates email from Drop, clearly layout the problem and difficulty and new expected date. Appreciate the update, and keep it up. Thank you Drop.
