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?
As the title states, i never made an account with drop and was made one after purchasing something here. It's asking me to provide my old password (which i don't have, never made one) to create a new one. usually websites would provide a "Forgot Password" option to recover or change your password but this doesn't. Anyone know whats going on?
Community Rules and Guidelines (updated September 2022)
Drop encourages community interaction and discussion between our members. In order to make the site an enjoyable place for all to spend their time and participate in the Community, we have a few rules and guidelines for members to adhere to. The primary takeaway is to be nice to others and don’t spam or shill products - simple enough, right?
Etiquette
Members are expected to treat each other with respect, and be courteous of each other’s opinions and advice, regardless of their relative experience. In particular, the moderation team will be responding to content which falls into the following categories.
Personal Attacks / Threats - It can be easy to forget, but everyone you interact with online is another human in front of a keyboard. And if they're not, then why bother engaging in the first place? Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, and personal attacks / threats will not be tolerated on the site. Repeatedly attacking other users will result in escalation...
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...
Does Alice still live here any more? I'm almost exclusively interested in blank keycaps, preferably cherry profile that are compatible with an Alice board. I'm not at all interested in QWERTY keycaps. I type on a Dvorak board and am transitioning to Colemak. I suppose a dual legend set that has both of those would be acceptable, but I really don't need key legends, and prefer the look of blank keys. Am I in the right place? There don't seem to be many options.
I currently have some money onto an paypal account, but, its a little short to buy the headphones that i want. is it possible for me to pay one part with the paypal money and the other part with an credit card?
I'm having trouble downloading the right file from the keyboard configurator on the drop website. When I download the file for my custom layout it comes as a .bin file however, it says I need a .uf2 file to flash the keyboard.
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...
The cable on my HD6xxs started to malfunction and after contacting support I was explicitly promised a new unit free of charge but instead was issued a refund. When I asked for the original agreement to be honored I was told there is nothing they were willing to do and: "Feel free to place a new order for the headphones if you wish though." After a few more emails I was given a $20 credit and conceded to "[feeling] free to place a new order" but because of current exchange rates and duty I had to pay an additional $65 or so. They refuse to reimburse me. Very unlikely I will be ordering from here again.

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)

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!! : )
Hi there,
I've been a member of the keyboard club for the past year, I'm afraid that in the next 24h the Keyboard Club will renew automatically.
I have checked on my profile but couldn't find anywhere a way to stop it.
Did i miss it ? Will it renew automatically ?
TIA

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?
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!
