Over half my purchases here were in categories that no longer exist.
A broader selection of hobby and interest categories will produce more cross-promotion between categories.
It's obvious from the remaining categories that this is a site for primarily male enthusiasts of somewhat technical or gear-oriented hobbies, but even given that, my suggestion would be to go broader, or else Drop will end in a death-spiral. I mean, how many keyboards does one person need?
I'll stop opening the emails now since my faves are gone, and that will mean Drop could miss out on me purchasing a watch or headphones every few years. Multiply that across the user base and you're talking real money.

lbdesign> how many keyboards does one person need?
Actually the Mechanical Keyboard community is filled with enthusiasts that typically will own more than "just one" keyboard. I've seen people show off their collections of 5 or 6 with numbers even as high as 10 or 12 not unheard of.

Dragon1291But in the fountain pen community, that number is often hundreds of pens per person. I assume knives can be the same, but they didn't sunset knives — they sunset pens. And other hobbies that are higher volume and equally high interest. Appreciate your comment, but in terms of scale and volume, I'm not understanding why Drop dropped the categories they did.

lbdesignOh I understand your point I was just saying what I said since to the layperson there is really no reason to get more than 1 keyboard per PC.

How do I stop renewal of keyboard club?
Hi there, I've been a member of the keyboard club for the past year, I'm afraid that in the next 24h the Keyboard Club will renew automatically. I have checked on my profile but couldn't find anywhere a way to stop it. Did i miss it ? Will it renew automatically ? TIA Mauringhio

I miss Massdrop
Is it just me or was this place much better when it was Massdrop? Instead of expensive collaborations, it was all about finding good deals that got better with more participation. Anyone know if this place will ever revert to those times or if there are any other sites that might be doing what this site stopped doing?

Do products in the same order ship together if they have different shipping estimates?
I bought an order that consisted of products that were ready to ship on Feb 13 and March 29. Will they ship all together on March 29 or will they be split and the orders that are ready to ship earlier ship on Feb 13?

Anybody know how much we have to pay in Europe when buying stuff from Drop?
I'd like to buy the Sennheiser 6xx but I have no idea how much is going to be after adding delivery and custom fees. Does anyone know? I live in Spain.

USB-C Port glitchy AF on my Drop SHIFT, arrrrgh help
As above, my keyboard routinely drops connection with my computer; I've tried three different computers, they're not the issue. It resolves itself after being "hard reset" (unplugged), but it's driving me insane because obviously it acts up more when I need it most. All drivers seem to be up to date, any thoughts? (I've also changed the cable, please ppl)
