Just seeing this - if it's the quality of Big Bone MDA then I am in, good designers and manufacturing in my experience. I forgot the name change from 0.01 to Muni

Muni is my name, actually we call ourself MelGeek.com now, I also designed the Big Bone and Big Bang, so we still the same group, only focus on high quality products

Are the kits fixed? I like the colours and profile, but so far the kits would cover none of my keyboards (at least not in a nice way).

Yeah, actually seconding that... Can we get at least basic ortho support, pretty please?

Wow, that was quick Congrats, looking forward to it! Just a pity it will be handled by Drop and not regional proxies. I'm in either way

If the price is pleasant then Europeans shouldn’t hit any tax thresholds or customs duties so non‑issue from me here, though EU stock would be ideal.

YellowHalo · « **Reply #154 on:** Fri, 16 August 2019, 07:48:14 »

I would prefer regional proxies to drop any day. How long will the drop last for? I don't think I can jump in this soon as I don't have the finance to do so... I hope there'll be extras so I can get them later in oct.

I’d recommend a non SA font. I really love high profile but the font on SA looks too childish. GMK or dsa seem to me much more professional/adult

Friendly reminder that offering blanks require minimal effort (they are basically less fabrications steps) and at the same time broadens the target hence increases profits.
Please offer blanks and be our end game.

Unless their tooling is like JTK's cherry molds, in which case blanks would still be double shot, a la JTK Red Riot.

They described it as “OEM height, SA curve, and slightly larger-than-SA key surface” which I have to say, I find rather intriguing.

Because it sounds similar to MG and both will be on Drop soon which makes me wonder how Drop manages timing for drops.

It sounds intriguing, but take a look at that side profile. It doesn't have a smooth scoop like all other profile which leads me to believe they'll be a nightmare to type on.

I don’t have a problem with them, other than the fact that I still prefer the name Massdrop as well as their old site layout.

But I’ve bought many things off there and have no reservations about continuing to do so.
I recently went through my first return with them, after having been sent the wrong item. It’s probably the best and easiest return process I’ve been through myself.

I’ll be ordering this set from them too, after work tonight. 🙂

pixelpusher · « **Reply #194 on:** Tue, 10 September 2019, 10:01:02 »

I've never had a bad experience with Drop. The only issues I have is their shipping and prices. (but the price on these caps seems great to me)

Their shipping methods here in the US are incredibly slow. I mean, once something actually ships, it usually takes 7-10 business days to show up. Depending on what day that ships, it can take two weeks to get my stuff! I can get USPS from one coast to the other in 2-3 days usually. I don't understand why they move so slowly.

Also, most of the things they sell can be found for the same price or sometimes cheaper on sites like amazon or ebay or aliexpress, and you don't have to wait months like on drop. I'm assuming the "deals" they offer come into play more with international buyers in those cases, who can take advantage of better shipping rates?
