Here are the lists of things that will be available in the Closet Drops tomorrow. The number of units might decrease as we come closer to launch time because Yanbo is causing a fuss in the background and wants to hoard some just in case.
Edit: Some clarifications.
1. Keycap units is the sum of the number of different kits available under each keycap set
2. Whitefox Round 1 and Round 2 will be offered together to keep the checkout option system more concise
dghwThere were certain kits added and some changes made with kits between Round 2/3 and 4 for Granite. Also, WhiteFox Round 1 came with an etching at the bottom of the keyboard that stated it is round 1 and the round 2 did not.
kunalkumarSo if we want a few carbon kits (base, mods, orange alphas, non-standard), do we select carbon and then get to add all the kits we want before paying, or do we have to complete a 1 kit purchase and then do the whole process again?
Harjoat@Harjoat We are aware of the huge demand on some of these items so we will be limiting the number of items that someone could buy. This is to make sure that everyone in the community has a chance to get something.
@piercjenkins Please take a look at what I said above. The limitation on the drop would be on a per kit basis and not on a per set basis.
kunalkumarThanks for the quick responses! Still unclear to me... can I select multiple kits in the same set (base, non standard, Orange alphas, numpad) at check out , or do I have to buy 1 kit at a time then repeat?
piercjenkinsSorry I wasn't clear. You can select multiple kits, but we are limiting the number that one community member can buy. We are right now looking to limit it to two per member.
kunalkumarSo I won't be able to get all the DSA Hana kits I'd need to cover my B.Mini EX (Base, Numpad, Adapter, and Flextras would be nice too) then? That's a little disappointing, back to lurking mechmarket I guess.
kunalkumarSo if you do limit it to two items per member then does that mean one is limited to two from each category (i.e., two sets from keycaps and two from keyboards) or two from the entire offering?
kunalkumarAye I figured, you guys have time! I'm just needy and want to snipe as much compatibility for the set I want as I can for my 65%s and planck at the same time haha
kunalkumarI had no idea there would so may available! I'm a bit disappointed though, I was hoping to get a 1976 Non-standard kit, Carbon base kit, mod kit, and novelties. I know it won't be 4 kits that we can buy, but fingers crossed for 3!
kunalkumarAny ballpark on the pricing of the VE.A, or even what it sold at for the previous buy(I dont need an exact price just like $400-$500, $500-$600, $600-700 ect.)? Trying to get some funds ready by selling some of my old stuff and need to gauge about how much further I need to go!
kunalkumarIf I'm understanding your post regarding limits, it should be a limit of 1 kit of each kind per person not 2. If someone wants Carbon alphas they should be limited to 1 alpha kit, 1 mod kit, etc. not 2. Spread the wealth.
VigrithYou'll be lucky if you have time to add one item and check out before everything is sold. there are 2k+ people requesting keycaps for what amounts to ~ less than 2k kits. By the time you add orange carbon alphas to your cart and go back for a mod kit, both items will probably be sold out before you hit the place order button.
ChitownM2About half of these requests are like a year old from when the previous closet sale happened, a lot of people also request for the sake of requests (not so much nowadays but still happens), plus a lot of sets/kits will be neglected whilst others will be super popular. You're also assuming everyone will have enough money to buy what they want, we don't know the prices yet.
Regardless, do not doubt my FCFS skills son
VigrithHopefully you are right.
Carbon SA is dropping again this summer and he is also talking about carbon GMK so hopefully those draw all of the attention and I can get what I'm looking for and pick up those two later. Whitefox is also supposed to be dropping again real soon according to matt3o.
dghwIMO Whitefox R1 > R2. R1 base kit includes more items than R2 for lower price, but not sure if MD sells it at its original R1 drop price or adjusted to latest R2 price. Either way R1 kit > R2 kit.
ChitownM2Infinity Ergodox. Sorry the screenshots are of me playing with Google Sheets, so some things were implicit to me. Thanks for asking the question.
kunalkumarThanks for your kindness :)
but I don't know where's the location that the time point.
Would you mind if I ask you to say how much time left?
I'm not good at English so I can't sure you understand my words haha
Have a nice day ^~^
CholoI am also interested in an ISO whitefox but depending on the price of the drop I might well be doing my own custom keyboard anyway (something like the Red Scarf b)
kunalkumarblah!! Troubled minds sold way too fast :|

RapskyYup. That's all I was after too. I clicked the button as soon as the drop went live and I still didn't get in on it. I was hoping more people would go right for carbon.
kunalkumarYou said we could order more than one kit from the same set as long as we didn't order two kits from the same set right!? It wouldn't let me!! The delay in going back to delete caused me to miss out. Fuck my life!!!!!!!!!!
piercjenkinsYou could order a total of 2 didn't matter same kit or not. It could be because of the initial rush to the drop page that only 1 kit was available to buy at that time.
kunalkumarIt was never made clear that you could only order 2 things total, no matter if the same kit or not. I have a 96 key so to cover it I would need base, num, and non-standard. I was asking if I could order them and the way I interpreted what you said was, we could order as many kits as needed, limit 2 kits per set. Fuck... back to lurking in r/mechmarket.
.
kunalkumarThis is a stupid question. Does this mean you're going to have full sets of say, GMK Carbon available for purchase? Or is it just like add on sets from those that wouldn't fill out a normal board/TKL?

TossedRightOutWhatever you can select after joining the drop is what's available. Which wasn't much by about 6:05 PT. Heck, I tried to get two kits at 6:01 (9:01 for me) as soon as the drop order form finished loading and they were already gone by the time I hit checkout.
Edit: Some clarifications. 1. Keycap units is the sum of the number of different kits available under each keycap set 2. Whitefox Round 1 and Round 2 will be offered together to keep the checkout option system more concise
edit: one unit is one kit.
@piercjenkins Please take a look at what I said above. The limitation on the drop would be on a per kit basis and not on a per set basis.
When I was saying two, I meant two each for every drop.
9am sharp.
