I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

Ditto.

massdrop has been turning to garbage since they got in bed with amazon.

Yeah I don't see this as a huge loss, and honestly it could be worse. Corsair might not ruin them, let's watch and see 🤷
-
They went downhill for me when they started doing their own products. While I'm sure it was better for them to focus I found the site more useful when it had more variety than just keyboards and headphones.

Corsair intends to keep Drop as a separate brand within the company
I'll give that about 6 months before they "have to merge" and the layoffs begin.

Line goes up kills another one.

Drop has kinda gone to shit anyways. Though I have gotten some good headphones off them. But I ordered a set of wood IEM's back in January. Got and update like a month later that the supply chain got messed up, will ship in June. Current order status is "Reserved for shipment. Estimated ship date: July 10". So like a week ago. And all the emails from them lately have been
"Check out these amazing keycaps!11!1!"
"Hey look, we got more keycaps!!!!"
"Limited time only super-special keycaps!"
"Hey, you looking for some keycaps?!"
It's not what it used to be, just like everything else on the internet.

Drop was awesome for custom keyboards, cool audiophile shit, and just random bespoke cool shit
So absolutely no overlap with Corsair. I don't like this at all.

RIP Drop. I do not have a good feeling about this acquisition. Same thing with Logitech 86ing the Blue brand name.

Doesn't really seem like Corsair's market - absurdly bespoke stuff.
