I would love to see more branching out into products that the community is engaged in, and more tuned or upgraded variants of those products! Drop has always excelled at drawing very niche crowds who are generally inclined to tweak anything they do purchase until it's just right for them, and Drop offering variants of already well loved products in their own variety has always been something that has kept this community as a staple that I look back to.
I must say though the more budget oriented keyboard offerings are probably where most of my money is likely to go... Can't encourage that though or I'd end up spending too much!

SoHighICouldFlyThanks for this. What are the 'branches' you'd love to see us explore? I admit I spend a my fair share of time oogling r/battlestations to see all the gear and find inspiration for my own setup. There was a vote earlier in the thread for watches. Is there something that seems like a natural pairing with your passion for MKs?

JefHMaybe DIY tools?
Lube and films and such as add-ons, but also perhaps a kit designed around modding headphones, or a nice soldering station for keyboard switches/headphone cables/etc? A “kit” with some project ideas might help people like me who love Legos (and cooking) but only follow the directions of more experienced people, haha!
Maybe I’m just projecting, because I was one of the people who bought a house last year, and it always seems like there is another tool I need to fix things 😄 I’m proud of my video doorbell, that took some wiring and a replacement transformer box!

EvshrugThese are very much in line with the kind of things I meant! Including more upgrades and mods as add-ons, like films and lube for switches, or replacement cables/earpads/cups for headphones.
That along with some other maybe more variety amongst minor categories would be awesome to see more of.

JefHI think everyday carry was a really nice niche that drop covered well back in earlier days, with watches/wallets/knives being pretty interesting and engaging as a bit of a branch to take.
I would love to see more tools too. Tools for both currently offered hobbies and other niche tools in general are awesome to come by and learn about, and can sometimes have some pretty unique and clever uses that could draw in more people as well.
I'd also love to see more battlestation inspired stuff, things like desk organizers, storage, or unique cable management solutions (standing desks can sometimes face challenges here). Something you already offer that I'd like to see expanded on is some simple desk mat series (like your expression series of keyboard, something like plain colour or themed desk mats would be great) available at multiple price points from budget to enthusiast, as I feel that could offer a lot as well.

SoHighICouldFlyYeah, the Drop + TH-X0 mkII didn’t make a huge splash, but I loved that collaboration and found it highly educational. It was so cool to have I think two different pad types, two different density foam baffles, and there was a strap mod added to the headband. Being able to swap out the baffles (plus I had a third baffle, from the Dekoni Blue) and even try NO baffle gave me four extremely different sound signatures. I still buy new audio products and love seeing the innovations of others, but being able to understand some of the guts of the thing drew me in deeper. Thanks to all involved for the opportunity!!
Also, yes I’m on board with the battlestation beautification boutique, haha! Mine is currently littered with a box of switches, little figurines, audio dongles, cables, USB hubs, VESPA Monitor mount arms (bought from Massdrop!), etc, but it’s definitely a mess and sometimes things inexplicably disappear!

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...
