I just joined but I think an art collector community would be a good idea. I collect art whether it's posters or hat and lapel pins. I can share some of my stuff with you guys so you have an idea of what I'm talking about. Also a hat community or a fashion community or a knife and blade community would be cool.

Mafuka311"Massdrop" means many people ordering the same thing to get a lower price--so it's impossible for unique items like art and collectibles.

Nonsense. If you have a large community trying to get a piece of art then an order is placed just like every other item. I would imagine that not everyone would be able to get the item but if a pre-order was done or an open edition I don't see any reason why it would be a problem. Maybe you don't understand how art or the commissioning of a piece of art is done. Please let me know if you need any definitions. Thank you for bringing that up though. We could actually get more custom artwork made. Specifically for what we want. I know plenty of artists that would love to have a giant order. I can't imagine why they wouldn't. Feel free to discuss any issues you may have with this. I can explain in further detail if needed.

Mafuka311I'm all for more people buying art and supporting artists and no, I don't know how it's normally done. I'd always imagined that each purchase meant that a particular buyer saw a particular unique piece that they liked and then paid for that piece, or else asked that a unique piece be made for them. But I guess if the artist is turning out decorative pieces that look similar or identical, it could work.

I guess it depends on what you're looking for. For many of the prints that I have, each design was picked out for use by the musician to use and that is all it will be used for. Ever. The pins I am still getting in to. But for a print, if there is a design that we wanted, by a particular artist, we would commission that artist to do it. If that artist already has something similar they usually will turn it down. If it is just the design that is wanted we would still need to pay for use of the design. Unless the artist has given permission to use it. Sometimes a newer artist will give rights to their design up for others to use in order to gain recognition or something of that nature. It will also depend on the type of material and how it is printed. Many artists now do their own printing due to the art being stolen. Most prints are silkscreen printed which has the least likely to be stolen. Less quality prints are giclee prints and that is still usually done by the artist. I guess it all depends on what we are looking for. And the quality of the print, artist is to be taken into account as well.

Is Drop no longer finding deals on other types of items?
Has drop just narrowed focus on audiophile and keyboard things or is the site still open to things like EDC items, batteries, socks, hats, etc? Reason being: really would like to find a deal on some high end LED car headlight bulbs, as well as some injinji toe socks so I can buy those in bulk. I imagine other folks have other wants and needs as well.

I want to ‘save the planet’; helping me is easy, and starts with ‘reading this’.
Now that I have your attention: “Viagra” (only joking)… Hello, and, “thankyou”. Thankyou for your inquiry,.. your time,.. and (hopefully) your further contemplation…. This isn’t just some ‘environmental post’, and it will list a few things that I am going to do, in the short term, that we all want / need, so is probably worth reading even if you are not altruistically minded. So let me pitch three things, first and foremost. One I can deliver, one I will try to deliver, and one I am going to do anyway, and you might just ‘want to know about it’. The first one: I’d like to kickstart a multi-operating system GUI (graphical user interface) overlay, that simplifies using any tech device, and follows you (if you so wish) to other platforms, allowing seamlessly easy usability of all modern tech devices. big tricky sentence, basically saying I’m going to put a ‘manga character’ (or ‘multiple other’ mascots) that can be ‘swiped in’ from the edge of the screen that will help a user...

Drop Keyboard Club Questions
Hello everyone! I'm looking to join DKC, but I have a few questions. The first day of November has already passed. Will I still get the coupon for November immediately after signing up today (Nov. 10)? What is the definition of Mechanical Keyboard products? Will the coupon apply to desk mats? I believe it should apply to everything listed under this category? For orders under $79, the coupon will be converted to a percentage discount. Will the percentage discount apply to all mechanical keyboard items in an entire order, or it can only be applied to a single mechanical keyboard item in the order? Thanks in advance!

Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...
