Right now, we are collecting reviews for DCX Solarized Dark and DCX Sapphire. More to come - let us know here if there are any categories you'd be interested in that maybe we aren't doing yet!
Note: Review units will be provided at no cost to the reviewer, and can be kept after the review is completed.
Any questions, don't be afraid to ask below!
Hello DKC!
Welcome to the Keycap Roadmap, where you'll find a preview of upcoming keycap sets and other keyboard-adjacent launches. As you might expect, schedules are always in flux and subject to change, but we’d rather share the info and have to correct it than not share it at all. With that said, expect a bit of leeway on the exact dates or time periods mentioned here, and don’t hesitate to ask for updates/clarifications if something drifts.
Some quick housekeeping: there are a lot of things in the works at any given point, some of which you all will be more interested to hear about than others. Additionally, it’s just a crazy amount of work to try to keep all of that updated and provide any valuable information. As such, I’ve started with pretty much all of the keysets (it is the Keycap Roadmap, after all). If there is anything else you’d like to see shared here (Do you want to see upcoming desk mats? More insight into coming artisans/cables?) just let me know and I’ll do...

Hey DKC, as much as I hope you all are enjoying the membership and want to stick around for another year, I also understand that for a variety of reasons some people want to unsubscribe and not renew the membership—and that's fine! Historically this has been done by clicking "Cancel Subscription" on the Keyboard Club transaction found in one's Transaction history. This can be tricky to find, especially if you have a lot of transactions to sift through, so we've added a cancellation button to the Keyboard Club Member page.
Navigate to the Keyboard Club Member page by hovering over (desktop) or clicking on (mobile) your profile photo, then click Keyboard Club about halfway down the list.
This is the page where you can view your current and past DKC coupons, as well as cancel your membership renewal.
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, below your DKC Discount History.
Click "Cancel Membership Renewal" if you wish to do so (sorry to see you go! ❤️). Note...
My last 8 monthly discounts have been the minimum $30. Anyone else want to weigh in with similar experience?
My membership is up this month, contemplating if im going to bother renewing.
I have a $30 voucher I wanted to use on a $50 keycap, I was expecting the price I would pay would be $20 but I only got less $15 from it by using the $30 voucher. Is this correct? I do not see this in any FAQs regarding the voucher.
Hello DKC! We are soliciting some feedback to pass along to the team at Dwarf Factory, and are asking Keyboard Club members for your input. Help us choose the next set of Drop-exclusive ArtiSANTA Christmas Artisan Keycaps!
If you're not familiar, these are a unique set of artisan keycaps from Dwarf Factory that will only be offered at Drop during the holiday season of 2023—next year's keycaps will be all new designs. The 2022 line of ArtiSANTA Christmas Artisan Keycaps can be found here for reference.

Hello DKC! As you are almost certainly aware by now, we are launching our new Battlestations community today!
As a thank you to our most dedicated members (you), we wanted to give a little bonus to all Keyboard Club members to help celebrate the Battlestations launch. Enjoy a bonus $15 in Drop Rewards, which has already been issued to your account as of this morning. These bonus rewards can be used in conjunction with your monthly coupon‡, and will be eligible to apply to any product on the site. Edit: These bonus rewards will expire at the end of June.
We hope that you’ll find something in the Battlestations offerings that will make a good complement to your setup. If there is anything you would like to see that isn’t there, please let us know! Leave a comment here, on the announcement post, or in the Discord store-suggestions channel.
As mentioned elsewhere, there are all sorts of activities going on to celebrate the new community launch. Be sure to check them all out!

This is the Cyanlet Keeb Key I purchased. The purple layer had a ton of spillover into the Cyan regions of the cap, looks pretty sloppy IMO. I get that it's a ten dollar cap, but this still didn't feel great... already opened a ticket for it to see what they can do to help given this is supposed to be a limited production run.
Happy Friday, Keyboard Club! Trying something new(ish) here.
We've just activated a flash sale on the DCX Deep Space Orion Base Kit, with the price dropped to $79 until 11:59pm Sunday March 12th.
DCX Deep Space: LINK
This price is only available to DKC members, and is limited to 100 units. Because this is a sale price, you can use your monthly coupon with this item. :)
In addition, we would love to hear your input on what specific products or general types of products you'd like to see similar flash sales on in the future. As well, I am aware that this is very short notice and some of you will have already used your coupons - I apologize for that, this was unplanned; future flash sales will be announced with more notice to avoid such a situation.
You've likely seen an email with DKC updates come through today, but in case you haven't, here is your thread reminder. We're running our first public-facing DCX BOGO sale this coming week, and have kicked things off with early access for DKC members!
Starting NOW, all DKC members can access the DCX BOGO sale here and start pairing up eligible DCX sets (use code DKCEARLYDCX during early access). ⌨️ ⌨️
DCX BOGO
The fine print: One of the DCX base kits must be either White-on-Black or Black-on-White, and not all base kits are eligible for the promotion. As with all coupon-based promotions, it is not possible to stack DKC monthly coupons with the BOGO coupon (this is a limitation of the software and we have heard your feedback regarding it - more to come on possible changes later). DKC Early Access ends at 11:59pm 2023-02-12, at which time you will be able to take advantage of the wider DCX BOGO sale.
Hey DKC! If you don't know biip, they are a seasoned designer, and as highly decorated as they come in the keycap design world. They're responsible for the gorgeous MT3 Extended 2048 set with Drop, along with many other top-tier sets you've seen around (including Milkshake and Dots - two of my all-time faves).
As part of the launch of their upcoming keycap set, MT3 Operator, they've agreed to a brief interview with us to help kick things off. We've already compiled a handful of questions for biip, but would love your help coming up with a few more.
Let us know below what you'd like to ask biip (about MT3 Operator or their other design work) and we'll try to get everything answered!
Hi everyone! We are currently putting our efforts into a fairly wide range of benefits for DKC members - some more robust and feature-rich than others, some more appealing to y'all than others.
As we are thinking of which aspects would be the best to focus on and really make the program as a whole the best that it can be, we are coming to the best judges for help - you!
Please take part in the DKC Poll and let us know which aspects of the membership are most appealing. This would include highlighting opportunities to make part of the membership better that you value or would value if they were elevated above other perks, in addition to things you care about that are already done well.
Vote here!
As always, if you have any suggestions that don't fit the poll format/options, please let us know below!
Unsure if this has been mentioned before but if it has, all the more offensive that it has not changed. I understand that the DKC discount becomes a percentile when below 100$ however this tag underneath a purchase is just a lie when on a product below 100$ and should be either changed or honored. This tag is what interested me into purchasing the membership and while I do enjoy the perk of getting this discount I do feel entirely mislead.
So, in the past, I've been kind of harsh on the keyboard club, not feeling like it was living up what it promised, but I have to say, in the past 3-4 months, my views on it have really changed. To the degree that I want to sign back up. (I had cancelled my plan, which is set to expire in March)
So this is me, waving my money like Fry, asking how I can renew for a 2nd year?
Thank you drop! I opened my 12 days coupon this morning (day 5). And was surprised by a free paragon keyboard! I couldnt beleieve it. Thought it had to be a mistake, i missunderstood. It worked! Holy Cow! It's my birthday today! Thanks for the birthday gift Drop! Freaking awesome! Never won anything before!
Happy (American) Thanksgiving weekend, DKCers! While you’re recovering from the festivities (or just living your normal life for non-Americans), I have some good news to share with you.
In addition to our regular Black Friday deals and daily Sitebuster Deals, we’ve worked to set up some exclusive deals for DKC members this weekend.
First, we are issuing a bonus $15 in Drop Rewards to all DKC members on Friday morning to make your Black Friday shopping even easier
Since this bonus is a reward and not a coupon, it can be used alongside your monthly coupon or any other coupon-based deal this weekend. One thing to note is that this bonus reward will expire on Cyber Monday at 11:59 PM PST; as rewards are consumed in order of expiration date, this reward will automatically be applied before any other rewards you may already have.
Second, we have a handful of special Sitebuster Deals for DKC members
These deals will all go live at 12:00 AM PST each day and expire at 11:59 PM PST...
Hello everyone,
I hope you've spun the Hallowheel already. Curious to hear what everyone thinks about the tricks and treats, and which one did you get?
In advance, thanks for sharing.
Welcome to the Lounge! This is a DKC member-exclusive Community section that will feature discussions, events, and announcements for DKC members. Expect to also see more regular updates and information here than our monthly email updates.

Monthly raffle post (relocated)
AMAs with designers and creators
Random artisan giveaways (outside of the usual monthly raffle)
Themed submission threads (with the potential of some prizes…)
Audio interview with Yanbo (likely)
And more…!
