Pre-Order Date : Drop, January 14th, 2021 Charity Details

I want to provide support to relevant issues that are happening in the world. Therefore, all designer profits from the first month of sales will be donated to the Black Lives Matter Support Fund through blacklivesmatter.com. Social injustice in America has recently become a larger issue than ever before, and I believe that contributions from the sale of this set will help the campaign immensely.

When will the pre-order end?

Drop recently changed how GMK group buys are managed. Instead of the group buy lasting only a month, Drop will keep the product running in perpetuity on a pre-order -> in-stock loop. You may have already noticed this with Drop's GMK White-on-Black. This system is a win-win for everyone involved because it allows people to join the buy even if they are a few months late in discovering it.

Why just a base kit?

This is a WoB set. There are many extension kits already available. I don't plan on adding any other kits unless there is something many people want; in that case, please do tell me in the IC form. Having just one kit also helps in bringing the production cost down.

Special thanks to:

Oblotzky for the renders and help
kidviddy for JIS and layout help

Do not donate to BLM through a product. Donate directly through the charity. It's extremely frustrating, that you're using BLM to boost your own sales for your pocket in hindsight. Make a deskmat, and promise non-profit.

Greek Themed Keyboard!

Drop should make a keyboard in the style of ancient grecian art. Like tans and whites and deep reds with columns and vases and clouds and stuff ya know.

Suggestion: Drop should make a budget barebones kit.

Drop has marketshare in many areas, but they appear to not have any cheap barebones kits (sub 50$) currently available. They could do something like the CIY tester 68, MG75, or MG108 (ideally a 65%) . This could be a keyboard that would be a great entryway into mechanical keyboards, and have drop be recognized as a budget player more. It could also have deals that encourage you to buy other drop products alongside it (IE: keycaps 10$). It could also work as a 'travel keyboard' which one would bring travelling with them or just something fairly cheap to not be super careful with and just test out whatever.

Nintendo's Family BASIC Keyboard?

Hi, I just got my first personal Drop keyboard a week ago (High-Profile ALT) and I'm loving it so far. Tried a few different keycaps and decided to my shock that I don't actually like how MT3 feels and went back to OEM profile. Anyway, I've been looking at the keycaps that are available and while many look cool, none of them really speak to me. Then I realized what would: Keycaps styled after the Nintendo Family BASIC Keyboard, used with the Famicom (NES in the U.S.) Disk System to teach programming. It's kind of generic, but the Japanese and gray-and-red color scheme would be perfect. The arrow and function keys would have to be shrunk to standard size, but I think it would really look good, especially if Drop released beige casings to go with it. Would this be of any interest to anyone else? Or have I completely missed a keycap set that would hit this mark?

Keyboard stopped working

I came home today and my keyboard just randomly stopped working. I have it plugged into a connector that connects to my laptop. I've tried unplugging and plugging it back it multiple times but when I try to type on the keyboard my computer does not register the keyboard no matter what I do. I tried the wire as well as bluetooth and nothing works. Although when I press on the keys they still light up. Can someone help me to figure out why it's no longer connecting to my computer?

Desoldering, Mill-Maxing, And Why You Might Want To Learn Both

Thanks to StoryboardTech’s fantastic article, you finally learned how to solder! Or at least, you’re committed to learning. So, what’s next? Well, if you’re brave enough, why not learn how to desolder as well? And when you feel confident with that, how about Mill-Max? You don’t necessarily have to know or learn how to solder before learning how to desolder or Mill-max, but in my opinion, getting comfortable with soldering is a great step towards learning how to do the other two, and if you know how to solder, you can practice desoldering and mill-maxing to your heart’s content since you’ll already have the tools from learning how to solder! Well, at least most of the tools. Let’s start off with the good ol’ disclaimer section first, however. Disclaimer These are my own opinions and my own thoughts, and if I’ve learned anything in life, it’s that we all do things in slightly different ways. Whether it be deadlifting, desoldering, Mill-Maxing or even baking...

Keyboard Sound Tests And Room Treatment

Old Picture Of Mics I Used To Have/had Access To A While Back "Which mic should I buy to record my keyboard sound tests? Do I have to sound-treat my room to make my recordings better? Should I not have my mic attached to the desk I’m typing on to avoid picking up desk noise?" Whether you’ve had one of these questions or all of these questions (just like me when I first started), I’m hoping that this article will give you sufficient answers to the questions we think about when recording our sound tests. Like with the majority of my content, these are just my thoughts, and I encourage you to continue to research your questions by watching videos or reading other articles. Just because I give my opinions in this article doesn’t mean that other people’s opinions are wrong, or that you should just listen to me. I'm not an expert at any of this stuff, and I'm just scratching the surface of audio. There is so much that goes into mixing and recording that to pretend that I know...
