SteelCorrelation,

Well, Drop was already meh for keyboard stuff anyway and with Corsair involved, I’m less interested.

Who do you like for kb stuff?

I really like my Filco honestly. Very simple but nice feeling mechanical keyboards imo.

HidingCat,

I have a 15 year old Filco somewhere, alas I think it's just a bit outdated in features; not having some form of hot-swap socket is a big minus, as my Filco works fine, just that some of the switches are really worn out.

warmaster,

Not OP but manufacturers that ship with QMK are awesome.

katalaree,

and where can i find manufacturers that ship with QMK? dont tell me its via some obscure forum post

HidingCat,

I'm surprised Keychron hasn't been mentioned yet.

warmaster,
scalablecory,

I miss being able to vote for products to feature, and Massdrop reaching out to the manufacturer to negotiate a deal.

I guess this path was more profitable but 🤷‍♂️

HidingCat,

A meh brand buying another meh brand.

kayabuttertoast,

Drop was cool when it was Massdrop.

tuckerm,

Yeah, the original model of Massdrop was really cool. "Group buying niche items to get a better deal than what you can get by buying them individually" was such a great idea, and provided a way for small manufacturers to reach a larger number of customers at once.

Now everything I see on there is readily available from the original maker, Drop just has them with a Drop-themed color scheme. I don't care about Drop as a brand, I only liked it as a tool for buying hard-to-get things from smaller businesses. But it seems to be working really well for them, so the original Massdrop won't be coming back anytime soon. :(

Ugh I hope they don’t ruin future MT3 keycaps.

This is exactly what I was going to say. The MT3 design is the only thing I care about from that site that's long passed it prime. I have a Susuwatari as well as a Godspeed set and they are by far my all time favs. I haven't even looked to buy a new set of caps in years now they are so amazing.

Please Corsair, DON'T SCREW WITH MT3 YOU BASTARDS.

The godspeed set is damned tempting. I already have the iron man set and the dusk set though, so I can’t quite justify it yet. Dusk on my blue keychron Q10 is so purty!

Now I need to get a keychron Q0 numpad to complete the set!
