    I don’t think Drop has had a great reputation in the community as of late anyway. But it will be interesting to see what happens with the more obscure items that Drop regularly stocks… I.e. OLKB orthos and other split and abnormal layout keyboards.

        in addition to @kukkurovaca’s comment, the transition from Massdrop to Drop also alienated a lot of people – they dropped (ha!) almost all of their niche communities (ultralight camping, EDC, quilting, etc.) as well as their original mission of coordinating group buys for those niche communities

        They just put out a lot of mediocre products, mostly. Also they were hilariously rude to the creator of the MT3 profile (which is one of their signature accomplishments in the keyboard space)
