Got mine, nice and fast. Unfortunately, the build quality on these keyboards is pretty dreadful.
The main issue is the space bar. Rather than three keyswitches (one real, two stabilising) like in my other (say, WASD) keyboards, this one has...something else, and it isn't great.
If you press the left and right hand side of the space bar, it lifts up like a see-saw. This happens quite a bit if you do multi-key shortcuts (like Cmd-opt-space to Quick Entry on Things on Mac OS), and reasonably often the key 'sticks' and fires continuously.
Really not happy with this, it appears to be a design flaw, not a build issue with mine. On lifting the space bar, I can see that the 'stabilising' switches are two weird little floating pieces attached via a hook to the cross-spring, rather than being mounted into the board like you'd expect.
I don't know if you can even get refunds with MassDrop, but if we can I'd encourage us all to seek one. This is an unacceptable build quality for a $120 keyboard.

HowlingEverettThose are the same "costar" stabilisers as I have on my Filco and Nixeus keyboards... it's not that unusual. If they are loose, you can improve the fit with a small layer of polythene. It's true that you shouldn't have to do that on a keyboard with its default keycaps though.
