So, just to confirm; if I buy one of these test products, I won't be paying extra once they arrive (to Customs), and the price I see on the site (in USD) is the price I pay, and then I get the goods?

SkiddywinksI believe so.
If you notice, there is an actual price difference between the same products offering from the American MD to the European MD.
I suppose the higher prices for European MD are for the extra tax.
Side note about pricing in Europe (in general, not just MD):
Seems that for some reason Europeans always get "Decked in the Schnoz" when it comes to pricing under the claim of "Because European tax".
But... why does this even happen with products made in Europe?
Why does a Sennheiser, or a Focal, or actually any product made in Europe gets sold... say €500 in Europe but just $500 in America?
With currency difference, say in €500 price point, it is already ~$60 more expensive than the same offering in America.
Now people will say some USD prices not include local tax but even if they don't how are they sold for cheaper?
America has no import taxes? i know it does...
When the situation is reversed and here in Europe you want to buy an American made product, you pay more, much, much more, up the wazoo!
A $1200 product gets sold here for €1400 ($1580).
WHY are we being Shtooped so hard here in Europe?
Material to think about :)

HunterVeeYeah the prices will contain a VAT for EU so anything you'll by will be exactly what you see, that is required by law.
Every product you see from america doesn't have any form of tax applied. That also explain most of the difference between US and EU prices. As once you apply VAT to the equivalent EURO price there is only about ~10% price hick in EU vs USA, that would probably be explained by bigger tariffs then in the US and other birocratical stuff.
All in all I would say I would say it is not as bad as it was 5 or 10 years ago and now the local VAT in your country is the main problem if it is on the higher side.

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...
