ProfessorPatit would be a hunt, but there are alot of companies that are partnering to do high end goods like leather jackets boots or gloves. If people want to bolt Chinese garbage onto their bikes they can go to amazon but something like US made CRG mirrors is what I’m thinking.

naterwI never mentioned cheap parts nor Amazon and Chinese junk.
Sportbike Track Gear is where I saved 75% off MSRP on a Bell helmet. It was 35% off REV'IT! stuff at Revzilla a couple months ago. Bison Motorsports, Ryca Motors, and Dime City Cycles have sales on all sorts of less "mainstream" parts and accessories pretty frequently.
My point was that unless they are collabs or someone is willing to make an unusual deal, it's hard to beat the regularly discounted prices on good stuff that a lot of online dealers already have relative to MSRP, and MD is questionable in their discounts over MSRP and other competitors regular pricing across the site (just had a knife selling here for $1 under the regular price at Knifeworks despite being $10 under the Amazon price, so Amazon is definitely not their only, and in the case of moto stuff, likely not even good competition in prices).
Not that I don't want to see them try to get things like CRG (though myself and my local dealer greatly prefer the Joker Machine mirrors we use to CRG), Motogadget, maybe some Dynojet stuff, etc. I just don't expect it to happen. Gear collabs seem way more achievable than straight drops in terms of actually being worthwhile.

ProfessorPat I didn’t mean you prefer junk parts. I meant I’m cool with 3-4 big cool drops on great stuff as opposed to a bunch of little ones that save a few dollars. I think we agree on the products, I would like to see what massdrop can do to get us a deal. Do we need more headphone and keyboard parts?

naterwMore everything!
But yeah, I see what you’re saying. Thats sort of how the Auto community is here. Not many drops, but what happens is... well, disappointing actually, but decent drops relative to retail for the things we see nonetheless. I mean, I got a waaaaaay nicer torque wrench than the one that dropped here for not a lot more money.
While I doubt we’ll get a moto community, though I don’t see much reason not to, maybe we can get some decent moto stuff showing in the auto community if nothing else.
Biggest issue I see is the diversity of motorcycle stuff. Gear seems easier to move to lots of people. I doubt I use the same oil or spark plugs a lot of you guys use. Tires, bulbs, etc. All sort of personal and hard to push to many people all at once.

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...

Why doesn't Drop have more EDC stuff?
I miss the days long ago when drop had knives, watches and other cool stuff besides keyboards and headphones.

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...

But anyway, since there's nothing there despite the post by MD saying there should be one open, I started a new poll for new communities. Go ahead and vote on it if you guys want to show this interest in a more obvious way than a bunch of liked posts.
