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
Drop will continue to operate independently

It hurts hearing them referred to as a “mechanical keyboard specialist.” Running an Ultimate Hacking Keyboard 1.0 these days.
DAE remember Massdrop? lol. Also wonder what this means for their audiophile line?
I loved it when it was Massdrop and they had more communities like EDC and stuff.
oh god fucking damnit
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.
