Step forward in our evolution

Jul 17, 20232002 VIEWS

As many of you know, we celebrated our 10th anniversary last year. It has been quite a journey. From Massdrop to Drop, and from a unique group-buy site to today’s hybrid model that finds cool stuff other people make, while designing and manufacturing stuff ourselves, and at the same time moving more and more to an in-stock model. Today, I have the honor of sharing with you yet another step in our evolution. Drop has been acquired by Corsair. I am sure front-of-mind for you is what this will mean for Drop and our focus on our discerning, engaged enthusiast community - especially at a time when we’ve been watching other players in the community struggle or outright fold. Obviously, we are convinced this move is good for us, for you and for the hobby, and I’ll give you a sense of why here. I know within the community Drop is sometimes seen as a “big” company, but you would be surprised how few-but-mighty our team is given the extraordinary range of products we have designed and/or discovered. I am incredibly proud of and grateful to our crew, who love what they do so genuinely. That said, from the response to our launch of Battlestations as a new community and collection of products, it’s clear you want us to do more. And, we do too. As part of Corsair, we will. So first and foremost, Drop will continue as a brand, team and community within Corsair. You may already know that Corsair also owns Elgato, Origin and SCUF brands, which continue to operate independently. Being a part of Corsair will help our team deliver more of what you love. You’ll see new products from us soon that Corsair is just as excited about as we were in creating them. You’ll see new collabs with community favorites. Access to a world class supply chain will make getting you those products more reliable. With a global logistics capability behind us, we’ll also be able to do a fundamentally better job serving all of you outside the US who just want an easier, more affordable way to get the products you covet. And finally, we’ll have the wherewithal to remain here for you, listen to you, continue to expand the convenience of an in-stock model, and hunt down and present to you cool stuff. It won’t all happen overnight. It will take time. But we believe you will find this latest step a very good thing… and we know you’ll tell us how it’s going along the way. We sincerely hope you will join us in the next chapter of this journey. (edit: formatting)

What happened to the anniversary sale?

Talking about the Drop Anniversary sale, not the Prime Day related sale. It was supposed to run until the 25th, according to the note on the affected product pages, but now everything I was holding off on is back to full price. Why did this sale end 10 days early?

Please, I beg of you: let us choose WEEKLY email frequency!

I'm not holding my breath, since I can see many posts pleading for this dating all the way back to 2016... but Drop seriously needs a weekly option for the "new products" emails. Virtually every other ecommerce site that defaults to sending incessant daily emails offers the ability for subscribers to only get one(ish) email a week. Why? Because they'd much rather only send one email a week than have subscribers get fed up and unsubscribe altogether, which is where I'm finally at. Drop employees — is this something you'd ever consider?

Drop Alt some leds different colour

So all of a sudden when i turned my computer on, some of the leds on my keyboard were a greenish colour, I have reflashed with original firmware, I have tried resetting it. Nothing is working. The picture doesnt show it too well. It is the same on the other side.

Should I contact drop?

I avoided the drop mystery box before because they had the infinity war keycaps in them and I bought a box from the most recent run because the infinity war keycaps were out of stock. From the description of the box it says in stock items so thought I was safe. Box arrived today and I ended up with infinity war keycaps anyways. Massively disappointed. Is there someone I should contact about it?

First Budget Build Keyboard

Hello all! Keyboard newbie here and itching to do my first budget build! I've watched a lot of YT videos and here's what I've came up with: Keycaps: IDOBAO MA Blue Cat PBT Dye-Subbed Keyboard: Flesports MK870 Barebones TKL in white Switches: Gateron KS-3 Milky Yellow Pro Linear I fell in love with the blue and purple keycaps and thought a white TKL board would make it look nice. The switches are what I've gone back and forth on. Being my first build, I was hoping to get some good linear, factory-lubed switches, but I'm open to learning to lube. I'm all about that THOCK so the thockier the better! Thoughts? I'm open to suggestions! Thank you in advance! :)
