It's been a while since we've hosted a meetup at Drop. We want to change that, and are inviting folks to come hang out at our offices (Corsair HQ) in May!
The Details
Date: Saturday, May 11th
Time: 1-5pm
Location: Corsair HQ (Milpitas, CA)
If you're interested in attending this event (or any future events!), please fill out the google form below. Attendance will need to be capped at roughly 30 attendees given the space (edit: we can accommodate a fair bit more than 30 - only mentioned this to manage expectations as this won't be a mega-event with hundreds; will lean more toward the "intimate" side of things, sub-100).

Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by.
Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon
set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white.
Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...
They should make one in the same style as their SHIFT/CTRL/ALT keyboards. Both in the low profile and high profile styles. They should include a knob and a couple of extra buttons.
I bought my Tokyo60 a year ago and the RGB light worked when I first finished building it. I turned it off after a while cause it was distracting using Fn + Q. But recently, I tried to turn it back on with Fn+Q, W, E, R, T, and Y, but none worked. I tested Fn, Q, W, E, R, T, and Y; each worked individually. Do you guys run into this problem and know how to troubleshoot it? Any advice will be helpful! Thanks!

MT3 is great and all but after using MTNU I can never go back. When will Drop get MTNU? Drop has so many cool sets but at this point I’m not interested in any other profiles. Cherry, DCS, DXA, OEM, XDA, SA, etc all boring. MT3 was neat but it’s boring now too (and too tall).
Hoping to spend boatloads of money here again sometime soon, but that won’t happen until Drop offers something interesting again like its own custom cap, MTNU, or another low profile sculpted keycap. e.g., I tried CannonKeys CXA and preordered SLK Dessau. Neither will be permanent use but at least they’re something different.
Can anyone recommend an acrylic mechanical keyboard dust cover for a DROP SHIFT V2? Desperately looking for one that fits properly and protects the keys.
thank you in advance.

Hi all! I have the IDOBAO MA BLUE CAT PBT DYE-SUBBED KEYCAP SET. I love keycaps for the color and profile, but I don't care for all the cat stuff. Looking for other owners of this set who might want to swap or sell 4 of the blank blue keycaps and one SYSTEM keycap, like the one on the bottom left-hand side of the pic below. Other suggestions for getting those keycaps beyond buying another damn set would be appreciated as well! Thanks!
Mecha 01 gmk Berserker alpha numerics, what are other people doing with them?
I put this build together while waiting on an additional set however this combination is growing on me quickly. Curious what people think and are doing with their mecha01 berserker sets?
Outside of V2 TKL Barebones (minuscule difference), who else has noticed the price change since Corsair acquired the company. Prices on products seem up from the discounts we were given before. We also are seeing selection dwindle on certain items, a lack of Collab's and now new keyboards come in plastic. I personally love heavy keyboards. Do you like the acquisition that Corsair made or do you think DROP should have remained its own entity?
Back in September, when Drop ran the geocaching LotR giveaway, I was one of the lucky finders of a board in Houston. I did the needful to claim my free artisan keycap, even getting a response from @HoffmanMyster that it would be shipped soon, but I still haven't received it.
Now I can't even seem to get an update from anyone. Is there anything else I'm missing? I would love to add it to my elvish keycap board...

Hi, this is FOD team,I'm Zef.
A while ago, we released the AM Icy Silver Switches Pro in conjunction with the Angry Miao team, which is now available on AM's platform.
Now, we are going to bring you the first drop of the brand -- FOD Lucky Linear Switches.
Inspiration:Chinese Red envelope
A red envelope or red packet (Chinese: 红包) is a monetary gift given during holidays or for special occasions such as a wedding, a graduation, or the birth of a baby. (Quote from wikipedia)
So, in Chinese culture, red envelopes are a way of expressing blessings and encouragement, representing wishes for good luck and wealth, which are exactly the values of our brand.
With this in mind, FOD Lucky Linear Switches was born.

Looking for Dark-On-White Modifiers/Nav/Arrows/NumPad
Hi, looking for BoW/Dark-Grey-oW Modifiers/Nav/Arrows plus (Print/Lock/Pause), along with ALL non-numeric number-pad keys (with × and ÷ instead of * and /).
SA Profile
ABS Double-Shot
Not MT3 [I don't like the typeface as well as MiTo/SPK]
Not off-white [unless you could also point me to a set of ASCII BoW Alphas]
As a bonus, I am looking for a "HYPER" key and a "LINE FEED" key; the former I think I can find; the latter is almost a myth except for the photographs of archaic keyboards.
[if an ivory-coloured set of MiTo/SPK SA profile (double-shot, natch) were to appear, with ASCII Alphas and × and ÷, I'd invest in it.]
"Cat Travel Note" is coming!
There's a little cat on Lemon Island called MiMi, and she's one of the island's beloved pets. She enjoys taking naps under the lemon trees while basking in the sea breeze. MiMi is incredibly curious, always exploring the island's marvelous sights. MiMi is, without a doubt, a true foodie of the island. She's curious and passionate about all kinds of delicious treats, especially hamburgers, ice cream, and cupcakes. These are her absolute favorites, and she can't resist their enticing flavors. One day, as MiMi was strolling around the island, she caught a whiff of a tantalizing hamburger aroma. She followed the scent and arrived at a small burger joint. The owner, Hank, greeted MiMi with a smile and said, "MiMi, you're here again! Would you like a special burger?" MiMi eagerly nodded and couldn't wait for the delicious burger. Hank crafted a massive burger with tender grilled beef, fresh...
Here is "Old Times"!
On the Lemon Island, there is an old music shop with all kinds of record players on display. These record players are a precious collection from the past, each exuding the vicissitudes of time and the magic of music. The shopkeeper, old Jack, is an old man who loves music and regards music as the soul of his life. When night fell, the record player began to spin, emitting warm notes. The residents gather in the music store, immersed in the melodies filled with memories. Time seems to stand still and people forget their worries and focus only on the magic of the music. The clock on the island is also flowing with the music, quietly pointing to a better future. And at the far end of the island, there's a photographer named Amy. She has a unique camera that captures the passage of time and the beauty of moments. Amy loves to walk around Lemon Island, capturing those heart-warming sights and...

I got "Magical Candy" today!
A little boy named Peter. On Halloween night, Peter put on an orange superhero costume as usual and set out with his own special lantern. He walked toward a house that looked a little shabby. Legend has it that the house was inhabited by a mysterious old woman and she's the only one on the island with magical powers. Peter was curious. He wanted to know if the old woman really had these abilities. As he entered the house, the old woman greeted him and handed him a strange red candy. The old woman smiled and said, "My son, this is my own handmade candy, can bring you a different experience." Peter hesitated, then took the candy and swallowed it expectantly. At the moment he ate the candy, Peter felt his brain open and his eyes widened as if he saw another world. He was stunned to see that the whole world had turned green. The trees, the houses, the people in the streets, are all surrounded by...
