Drop is Dead
Wow, I cannot believe they have discontinued all the fun stuff like WATCHES, knives, and outdoor gear. I feel stupid now for bringing my many viewers over here. Drop what have you done?! -nutnfancy actual

Dude I still remember when they would sell weed stuff like vaporizers. I had gotten my Da Vinci Ascent from there and I still have it. Kind of understood why they stopped selling that stuff, but I am very disappointed that they are abandoning their other communities as well.

No joke. It's as if a pillar has crumbled from under the knife community. It was so beautiful. Damn shame.

75M$ in total funding. They have probably downsized their operations and restrategizing at this point.

WTH? All I get via email now are keyboards and keyboard related junk. Guess it's time to unsub from all.

I,ve been busy and not been on DROP for a couple of months. Was wondering why my community's consisted of a million keyboards and key caps, where were my watches and knives? Is this all that remains in DROP? Sad..

Yeah, I was wondering why all I was seeing was stuff from the audiophile and mechanical keyboard communities and nothing from the EDC, outdoor, knife, and watch communities. I thought it might have been a tech issue with my browser or account.
I can see, now, that something is up with Drop.
Yes, all the outdoor items, knives, watches, and EDC stuff made the shopping experience here fun and interesting.
Now that it’s just audiophile and keyboard stuff, the shopping experiences is greatly diminished. There are only so many new items one can buy in those communities before reaching a saturation point.
Makes me wonder if Drop will cease to exist soon. Too bad. It’s been a fun place to shop for me since 2014.
Recently, there are so few things that seem worth buying.

I'm a long-time subscriber to your channel :) Are you going to snap up some of the Drop EDC collabs on their Amazon to review? 😎 Might be good to have a "get em while you can" video in homage to what MD was and what it gave the community (while it lasted).

Well Nut'n, it's been a slow steady decline ever since the name change (and the dumping of half their employees at the same time). Evidently the problems in Watches were two-fold; MD never hired a manager with specific watch history/experience, which in turn lead to sourcing and pricing problems. I assume something similar has happened to every one of the so-called Communities MD had established over the years and then DROPed--they were starved of the talent needed to manage them. Add to that scenario nervous investors worried about missed benchmarks and you have the perfect storm of a business on the rocks.
What remains is the Chinese mid-fi Audio industry--a collection of manufacturers generally unable to establish a reliable foothold among mainstream US retailers (Bestbuy and to some extent Amazon for example), who inadvertently found a home, here on MD. Apparently some folks like headphones as much you like guns--go figure!
Two things are bound to happen now:
- Another name change along with another site redesign and,
- Sale of what remains to another group of investors--probably at a loss to the primary investors.

Still seeing knives but now that your mention it, not seeing watches, probably offended some hand wringer with too small a wrist somewhere

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...
