Drop Keycap Club Updates
Greetings all,
First off, big thank you to everyone for taking time to provide your thoughts and feedback on Keycap Club so far. We’ve been following along and watching reactions since launch and are excited to see all the chatter.
Which brings me to the meat and potatoes of this update as we have a few changes coming to the program that we wanted to share.
Eligible Products
One of the things we heard the most in our conversations is that there’s only so many keycap sets you want to buy in a year.
Starting in early December, Keycap Club is going to be formally redubbed Keyboard Club, and we’re making all mech keys products eligible as part of your membership. In addition to all keycap sets you will be able to apply your monthly coupon to any switches, keyboards, desk mats, cables, and any other mechanical keyboards accessories on Drop.
Monthly Discounts
The second most frequent comment we received was similar to the first and had to do with the $100 cart minimum for the application of the coupon. This is one of those details we missed the mark on, and we appreciate being told as much. Our aim was to make getting keycap sets easier, but most people let us know that they like to enjoy their sets a little longer than 30 days, and for them it was difficult to justify joining just to collect more keycap sets.
Along with the first change in early December, the coupon is being converted to a percent off the first $100 with no cart minimum. This means if you rolled a $30 coupon, then you can take 30% off your cart for the first $100 and $30 off after that.
$30 order? $9 discount. $120 order? $30 off. And yes, that means if rng shines upon you with a $100 coupon, then you can get 100% off up to $100.
(Don’t forget that discounts auto apply, so be sure to remove the discount at checkout if you’d like to save your discount for a later purchase.)
And that’s it for now. Feel free to let us know any of your feedback or opinions in the discussion below so we can continue improving.
Thanks everyone,
AlexP

But seriously, probably in the next couple days. Stay tuned for an email update with more details today or tomorrow.

Pity, I'd have gone in for the Idobao ID80 smoked had this happened sooner.
Still, I think it's a good move. Definitely opens up the options.

Good moves in the right direction I think.
I never minded the RNG part of the coupons, I always assume the $20 dollar one and if I get more all the better. The change to percentages I think helps especially for those few sets under $100. I believe it makes it much more likely for me to spend my coupon every month - something I had not thought I would do.
The additions of everything keyboard is great the variety will also span into item selections for those months I didn't want a keycap set.
thanks for the update!

So the changes don't kick in until sometime in December? If I were to sign up now before Black Friday and try to make a purchase, it'd still operate under the original rules?

Is the $20 off promo code still active for your first year keycap club sub fee? I hadn't joined yet, as basically the things you just mentioned for changes were making me hesitant at first. But now I know I I'll most likely get my money's worth finding something if it's not a keycap set. Was thinking about joining now if that discount still applies.

Great steps in the right direction. I will have to echo other commenters here though on some clarifications.
1) It would have been nice to know up front that RNG played a role in the coupons. It wasn't clearly stated at the time I signed up that it would be random. Which leads me to ask - how random? Are lower discounts favored? As someone that's gotten the lowest discount two months in a row I'm curious to know exactly how random is random?
2) Where are the exclusives? Going into my third month in the program and there hasn't been a single one.
3) Review program - why do I have to go to a specific page at random times to find out if I can sign up for the possibility of joining a review? Is this a feature of the club or not? Any sort of heads up or notification would be appreciated.

That said, I'd prefer there not be a RNG element myself. It seems like it just encourages people who roll a 20 to wait and see if they get anything better the next month. I like to plan and budget, and I can't do that if a discount is random. Why not just a flat 25% or something like that? Then we'd know, and not have to wait or hope.

ninjatunedExclusives and the early review system are being worked on. The early reviews are kind of a band-aid method right now. I'll work on some way to better notify everyone of new review signups being available.

I like the inclusion of adding keyboards to the group coupon. I think that’s a good step forward, but the coupons just don’t feel impacting. I’m getting more of a deal waiting for the BOGO event or the current Black Friday deal than I may through coupons. The incentive of being in an “exclusive club” is kind of lost when not there’s not much benefit besides an rng coupon and a calendar of future sets to drop.
Additionally, for the DKC exclusives, will we get exclusives, or is it like the email says? We get access to something that sold out already. So instead of early access, it’s a one last chance before it’s gone kind of thing.

NightKnightNightWe're still working on the exclusive items, but the plan is to have things that are made explicitly for DKC members. So it would be something unique for members and not just an early access deal.

This is much better. I'm planning to pick up SA Laser, but probably need to do it in bits and pieces over time, since I'll need several kits. Now that it's a discount on applied to any order, not just the ones over $100, I don't have to figure out what combinations of kits to get each time in hopes of being able to use the coupons.
I usually just get little sets here and there - spacekeys that match a set I already have, or colored accents. It's really rare any of my orders would top $100 and be eligible under the old system.

Why is there rng involved in the discount? I’d almost rather see a straight discount. We’ve paid our money for the year to be in the club. Why can’t I just buy all the sets I want in the first month with something like 20% off. This is only the second month I’ll be in the club but it seems like this is gonna be the last year I pay to be in it. I did enjoy getting $40 off my first purchase. I ended up getting gmk, wob for $65! It’s just odd I have to wait to give you more money! And hope you don’t run out a f the sets I want to buy.

ALT V2 not detected with Drop Keyboard Configurator
Hi, This is my first non-mac keyboard. I was under the impression that this would work out of box with with mac desktop however I am having issues getting the ALT V2 detected with the keyboard configurator software. The keyboard is plugged in and powered on. Apologies if this is very basic or if I have used incorrect language describing my issue, I don't have experience with this. Thank you

From Art to Artisan
Before launching any product, there are many designs, concepts, and ideas that pass between teams before arriving at a final design which makes its way to your computer screen and, eventually, desk. This is no more true than when considering possibly the most "art"-forward aspect of the mechanical keyboard hobby—artisan keycaps. It should be obvious that a lot of planning and artistry goes into crafting these literal pieces of art. We don't often get a chance to see behind the curtain, though. So, let's take a closer look at the upcoming Drop + Dwarf Factory Lord of the Rings Rohan Artisan Keycaps. Before any resin is spilled, Middle Earth (the entity that licenses the Lord of the Rings IP) needs to approve the concepts based on concept art provided by Dwarf Factory. We connect with DF to coordinate on the topic and subject matter—in this particular case, additional Rohan-themed designs—to be sure that the concepts match with overall direction, whether that be pairing up with a...

My Kingdom for Smooth ABS SA Keycaps
Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by. Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white. Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...

DCX vs DCD vs DCL - Drop’s Keycap Profiles Explained
We’ve covered the basics of keycap profiles before—spherical/cylindrical, sculpted/uniform, etc. One thing that has come up more and more over the years as we’ve expanded our portfolio of offerings here at Drop is the distinction between some of our similar profiles. Specifically, what is the actual difference between DCX, DCD, and DCL? Cylindrical Profiles To recap the previous article on the topic, one of the most basic ways to separate various keycap profiles is by shape (cylindrical, spherical, or flat). DCX, DCD, and DCL are all cylindrical profiles. The most famous cylindrical profile is Cherry profile, as defined by the original manufacturer of the keycaps—Cherry. GMK now owns those tools, and as such, only they can technically claim to produce “Cherry” profile keycaps. Similar keycap profiles are often called Cherry profile colloquially, but are in actuality slightly different. For the sake of not splitting hairs, all of the cylindrical profiles discussed here are...
