Not a huge fan of the news but with MK vendors sinking left and right this move didn't surprise me, at least considering Drop's current inventory and target audience.
Currently using Oxymoron at the office and Vault45 at home.
I know Mechanical keyboards are absolute fanatics, but at a certain point there's not much room in a niche product space like that.
Tbf most of the recent one went down due to financial ineptitude (looking at you, Mechs & Co) more than market saturation.
One thing that contributes to this failing is the vendors major income coming from group buys. Unfortunately, there does not seems to be an alternative to this system just yet unless the vendor starts with substantial capital that can cover the book during downtime.
