Anyone else thinking, "Well, I can have it Wednesday for $10 more than this, which, if recent Massdrops are any indication, could mean I won't see my Massdrop order until April or May...if EVER..."? I've had one Massdrop order just VANISH--i.e. "The Vendor" cancelled the order weeks after taking the money because he couldn't actually get the product; and several other Massdrops take MONTHS to show up. I'm still waiting on a couple of keyboards I ordered last October.
Amazon has one, Free 2-day Prime shipping, for $140. And, as has been mentioned https://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1606 will probably get to you the first week of March for <$10 more. I was actually excited about this drop, until I started remembering all of the other BAD Massdrop experiences (which now outweigh the good ones).
These are nice keyboards, although I wish they'd bring back the Race! No other layout can beat that! :-) Kudos to Massdrop for allowing such commentary, despite it becoming more ubiquitous with each burned customer.

captainI never got my White Fox which I waited 6 months for, but I guess I can't blame Massdrop. DHL sent it to the USPS and then it just disappeared. I got it refunded after two months at least. I've joined several group buys in the past two years at Geekhack and I've never had a problem. (warning, there have certainly been a few bad group buy experiences there as well, i just wasn't a part of them) The buys I was in on always kept good communication and had prompt delivery. That is, of course, after the 3 month manufacturing process.
I don't see anything wrong with Massdrop in general, but like I said below, it doesn't really make sense to wait months for an off-the-shelf product you could get immediately for a similar price. Maybe it's good for international buyers though?
If it is something unique I don't mind waiting. But if you're looking for a good mech keyboard or even this same one, I agree, just go get it from MK or Amazon. Heck, these show up fairly often on r/mechmarket too.

PixelPusherXXOuch Doodled! I might have an extra WhiteFox Blue I could part with. Let me know if you're interested. ;-) heh. I just realized I never opened it. Guess I should try it out before I offer to sell it.

captainI have to admit, these days I am am only using MD for stuff that I just can't get anywhere else, like keysets and stuff like the White Fox, etc.

spirosagI JUST opened it and found the enter key is sticky and the clickiness of all keys is variable. Incredibly poor quality. Guess I got a lemon. :-( No one wants this one.
