Changes in Several Drop Communities and Interests

Drop killed Massdrop’s once-exciting writing community long before the sunset. The writing community used to be really well curated. I’m a pen collector and I found a lot of pens on Massdrop that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise. They offered a variety of pens and ink at really good prices, making it worthwhile to wait a month or more for delivery. I bought a lot of pens and ink from Massdrop. But in recent months they’ve just been recirculating the same drops, doing fewer and fewer writing drops, and the prices haven’t been any better than traditional sellers who ship immediately. The recirculated drops seem to have been designed to clear out inventory (I recognize the irony) rather than generate enthusiasm.
I bought things from other communities - gaming, cooking, edc, outdoors, etc... But I found those products on Massdrop because the writing community brought me to the site.
The EDC community used to be well curated, too. They used to have a good variety of products with enough cool surprises and interesting ideas to keep me engaged and ordering. That has changed.
I used to look forward to the daily email with a variety of drops from diverse communities because there would always be some really interesting product that I never would have known about. That’s a pretty amazing feat for a store to pull off in our spam-saturated inboxes.
Now it seems they just sell knives and headphones.
There may be some really neat knives and headphones on the site. But it’s just not interesting or engaging to get a list of drops that’s 90% headphones and knives.
Massdrop had a great thing going. Now they’ve taken it a different direction. Best of luck. But I’m purchasing very rarely now, whereas before it seems like I’d joined 2 or 3 drops at any given time.

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)
