Corsair has acquired Drop, an online retailer known for its mechanical keyboards and keyboard accessories. Drop will continue to operate independently under the leadership of CEO Jef Holove. Corsair hopes to expand Drops brand globally through its supply chain and distribution network. Drop intends to continue its enthusiast-led product development approach and collaborate with community favorites. While Corsair also produces mechanical keyboards, they target a different market focusing on gaming performance rather than typing feel. The acquisition is similar to Corsair’s previous deals where the acquired company continues to operate independently


Any other mechanical keyboard fans? Whatcha main driver these days

Goodbye Drop, nice knowing you.

Watch Corsair add maximum rainbow unicorn vomit while cutting every cost and quality aspect they can. Independent my arse.

If Corsair lying about the quality of their RAM is representative of their general attitude towards critical computer components, I would hate to see how much they butcher keyboards.

I find they have a pretty nice stock of GWERTY keyboards.

Probably one of the many things eventually on the chopping block.
