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

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)
