Hi everyone!
We’re very excited to announce our newest partnership with an affiliate partner of ours, Student Beans.
For those unfamiliar with Student Beans, this new partnership will allow us to bring student-specific discounts to the Drop community. We hope that this discount will help make getting back to school more exciting and the school year a little bit easier.
Edit: Title update
Our good friends over at Elgato (also part of the Corsair family) are launching a new product line today, Elgato Neo. We thought these would be a great fit for the Drop community, considering the attention to both function and form.
We're very excited to be able to host this suite of creative-focused products on Drop.com. To celebrate the occasion, we're hosting a launch event of our own with daily coupon codes and a giveaway at the end!
Head on over to the event page if you haven't already to check it out.
All Elgato Neo products can be found on the event page linked above, or on their individual pages below—note that any Elgato Neo products purchased through Drop will get 10% back through Drop Rewards:
▪️ Elgato Stream Deck Neo
▪️ Elgato Game Capture Neo
▪️ Elgato Key Light Neo
▪️ Elgato Wave Neo
Be sure to join the giveaway on the event page! (Direct link to giveaway)
What coupon have you rolled so far?
And as always, our usual reminders:

So, after a couple of years being into the watch hobby and since in the meanwhile Drop has nothing to do with watches anymore, I wanted to present you how my budget collection ended up!
Beater: Casio f91w - neon green
Sports: Seiko Midsize Diver SKX013 ( 1997 original - moded with aftermarket bezel )
Business: Seagull 1963 Chronograph ( Red Star - reverse panda version )
Dress: Seiko SNK369K1 ( moded with 70's original handset & champagne dial )
oh & Merry Christmas to the world!! : )
Do products in the same order ship together if they have different shipping estimates?
I bought an order that consisted of products that were ready to ship on Feb 13 and March 29. Will they ship all together on March 29 or will they be split and the orders that are ready to ship earlier ship on Feb 13?
Is it just me or was this place much better when it was Massdrop? Instead of expensive collaborations, it was all about finding good deals that got better with more participation. Anyone know if this place will ever revert to those times or if there are any other sites that might be doing what this site stopped doing?
Happy Holidays, everyone! Hope all is going well out there. :)
Quick reminder that these preorder updates will include the majority of in-progress Studio products, as well as requested non-Studio products. I will try to share updates consistently on Monday or Tuesday of each week with the current status.
Please keep in mind that this process is highly manual and time consuming, so I won't be able to provide updates for literally everything off the bat. If you are interested in updates for a product that is not included here, please let me know and I will track it down and add it to the list. Likewise, there may be errors present, so again please just ask if something seems off and I will look into it.
And with that—the updates!
Mechanical Keyboard Updates
Drop + FU11.META1 GMK Mecha-01 R2 - Arrived to the warehouse on Monday! Shipping is complete for this set now (will remove from tracker)

The prices here in the UK when compared to the US is insane. Yet, I understand why this is something which is needed by massdrop to keep sending things over. But I ask any ways, can there be a UK based Massdrop. So that I don't have to pay ridiculous prices to ship it over.
.....SUX.
Extra DAYS added to delivery,(when it had to come through my town to be handed over to the USPS), Extra RISK of damage to packages.
Let's face it, there's extra hurling about of packages by people who could not give a RATS ASS about my gear, hurling around by postal guys who HATE that added packages were loaded onto their route.....
PLUS.
EXTRA RESOURCE USE, EXTRA CARBON FOOTPRINT.
Which is a MINUS, in my book.
we really can't do better?
why is it that SOME Massdrop deliveries ARE Fedex, while others have this added postal link in the resource/carbon spewing chain?
You guys probly know I don't whine much, I try to be pretty happy about All Things Massdrop.
But.
DANG.
Just seems kinda extra and wasteful and stupid. Especially these days.
I am just being a cheerleader over here.
Bein' all HOPEFUL an' all.
:)
I’ve been going back and forth with Massdrop support regarding a lifetime warranty on a knife purchase I made several years ago. They explained that because they have no more inventory and no longer support the edc community that the warranty can’t be honored and a $20 credit would be issued to my account. I requested more compensation given that the knife was over $90; but they elected to close the ticket and not respond to future inquiries.
I've offered a multitude of options for resolution including covering the cost of repair at a local knife shop, a refund, or more in store credit but they opted to not comment and stop responding.
Maybe I expected too much, but I’m disgusted by their handling of the request and how little they care about their customers. A major reason I purchased the product originally was for the lifetime warranty and it's sickening to now have an expensive paper weight. I won’t be shopping there in the future and can’t suggest anyone else to either.
Happy Holidays! With the New Year approaching and spirits high, we wanted to share some mocktail concoctions to help spread some holiday cheer. A total of 5 mocktails were created, and the recipes as well as images will be posted throughout the week. The inspiration for the mocktails comes from some of our most popular Keycaps and Keyboards. We encourage you to try the mocktails during this the New Year's celebrations. Let us know what you think!
And while you are here, don't forget our last sale of the year.
Happy New Years Eve! Our final mocktail, The Latte Martini, is here to help ring in the New Year!
The second round of mocktails have arrived! Introducing The Blue Samurchai and The Shinai-jito
For our first round of mocktails, please enjoy The Astrolopolitan and The Belafontail

Let’s talk about International E-Commerce Shipping!
There’s a common misconception that International shipping at Drop is “slow and awful”. We want to take a moment to provide some details (and data!) about how International E-commerce shipping works, and what the experience looks like from end to end.
Expectations
When people think about courier services delivering packages, they typically think of a Fedex (or UPS, or DHL) truck picking up the box, putting it on a Fedex truck, flying to another country, putting it on another Fedex truck, and then finally delivering it to your doorstep. This is known as end-to-end delivery, and it’s an amazing and incredible service that is extremely expensive.
For example, a 20x30x15cm box that weighs 1.5 kg (this is the typical metric dimensions of a headphone or keyboard shipment) going from NY, USA to London, UK costs $240 for 5-day end-to-end service via Fedex. That is the retail rate charged to a customer that walks into a Fedex depot. For large businesses that ship a lot, you can...
The following post provides information about Drop Studio products that are in “pre-order” status, i.e. products that are not currently shipping from our warehouse because they’re still being manufactured. We're trying this approach to consolidate the information that was previously scattered across many individual discussion posts. We'll evaluate how this works for a bit and then assess the best path forward. Without further ado...

59 Audiophile products currently in-stock and shipping immediately.

Hi everyone! We are beyond excited to announce a major update here on Drop.
Introducing: Battlestations
Our new community, Battlestations, is now live! You can find our launch landing page here. Please read the official announcement from our CEO, Jef, for an additional perspective on why this new community means so much to us.
The new community allows us to feature products outside of the two mainstay communities that you’ve come to know and love: Mech Keys and Audiophile. We know as well as you do that curating the perfect workspace is a very personal endeavor, and also non-trivial. Finding just the right thing for your setup can take a lot of work. We hope that by adding this new community here on Drop we can provide a space for highly-regarded and unique desk items that will be sure to complement the accessories you have already carefully selected for your setup.
Along with the launch of our new community, we have a whole host of auxiliary events and giveaways to...
Notified package was delivered and given a UPS tracking number. UPS says they gave it to USPS and gives me the USPS tracking number. USPS says it was delivered. It wasn’t and there is NO ONE and no phone number to speak to someone at DROP. Does this mean I am simply out over $200 bucks? No one is taking responsibility and I have no package. Wow.
This post will kick off the return of weekly preorder status updates for the majority of in-progress Studio products, as well as requested non-Studio products. I will try to share updates consistently on Monday or Tuesday of each week with the current status.
Please keep in mind that this process is highly manual and time consuming, so I won't be able to provide updates for literally everything off the bat.
