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!)

so i purchased... and waited and waited. it seemed like it took roughly (EDIT: 3-4 months) to arrive that i completely forgot about it. then when it did arrive, it looked nice but had no rubber grommets and slid everywhere on my desk.
bought some rubber feet for it and enjoyed the product for a few weeks and then it started cracking as well. still using the thing but it doesn't appear like its going to make it much longer.
i'd advise all purchasers to hold off on this drop completely. i think many of us already did enough paid product testing for this seller. if they want people to test their products, send them out for free and ask for feedback....
I do like the wrist pad a lot so it's unfortunate you've had as many quality control issues with your marble vendor and bad choice of glues. From a consumer perspective it seems that continued improvements shouldn't be done on a sales site for products not yet ready for market. With that many complaints on some of the product runs, a feedback mechanism and test samples should have been sent out before selling version: 2 or 3 and asking for more product defect reports from your consumers. At some point you need to protect your product's reputation for future sales.
I'd recommend stopping sales and focus completely on product quality as it seems this trial and error solution is the wrong path. However, keep up the good work - its obvious you want to do a good job by creating a product you can stand behind and engaged with your customers.
Thank you for the offer but I think I will keep my wrist pad until it breaks completely and then throw it away. I am not home to take pictures of the pad and sending back is not worth the time or effort.
FTR - my product was purchased in the early March run, received mid to late summer.
However, I disagree with you continuing to sell products with known issues. At the very least, try and hold off sales until you can fix the problems with your vendors.
Otherwise you risk ruining confidence in your product and or company.
