these are my thoughts after reading your response MD.
Quote MD: In our agreement for the HALO switch, Input Club requested an exception to our exclusive distribution rights to allow them to offer switches directly to end customers as replacement parts and as standalone switches via their website. This was a reasonable request, so we agreed and wrote it into the agreement. After that, Input Club launched their kickstarter campaign End Quote: The reason people in general start a Kickstart is to fund a store / website. So if you agree that they are allowed to start / have a website and distribute the Halo switch then you also agree with them getting the needed funding to do so. it's simple really and not easy to argue. In the end i say live and let live. as a customer i hope to get my K-type as promised without any quality problems. i don't like reading this and you not making up putting this behind us and trying to mend fences is the way to go.

TuxKeyNo, it's not simple and it's not easy to argue. The contract stated that the switches could be offered as parts - i.e., NOT in an assembled keyboard - on Input Club's website. Offering fully-assembled Whitefoxes with the Halo switch on Kickstarter is absolutely a violation of the contract terms. Frankly, I am astonished that Input Club's lawyer did not try to talk them out of doing so, because unless the contract's wording is more ambiguously stated than Massdrop makes it seem here, it's a pretty obvious - and legally enforceable - breach of contract.

literarylottieTo be frank such contracts sound awful and belongs in a mob movie not a community where the goal is furthering the hobby. But I guess in the end it's all about the $$ kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth not something I wanted to be a part of. i don't know who is to blame but this behav is not good in the end. will have to see what this means for the k-type drop. And lots of people including me will change their view of Massdrop
