Reply to comment by retrospacive in Quick reminder: Drop is a scam by barkingcorndog

So price equals scam? How?

When you see it all together:

  1. low quality merchandise
  2. high prices
  3. very small return window
  4. customer service that doesn't even read the issue report before responding.

I see posts here about Epomaker doing this crap, but when Drop does it, the shills come out of the woodwork to defend them.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience with your product.

But Drop is a vendor selling products for brands beyond just their own. I fail to see how Drop products are priced unfairly compared to similar products on the market (such as keycaps, for example).

Drop has a 30 day return window for their products. Everything they do not make themselves should be addressed by whoever made the product. I see this brought up a lot when someone receives a defective GMK set and wants to blacklist NovelKeys, Kono, etc.

I just think it's unfair to call Drop a "scam" after a cable which was not made by then stopped working months later. And with no other information provided.

I'm just fed up with companies that sell expensive crap that fails quickly. It's not the first time I've had to return things to Drop that failed. This time, it was 41 days, so they don't care.

Yeah, I understand how return windows work. It doesn't change the fact that they're selling faulty expensive merchandise and don't care about their customers.

I'm just saying, I don't think it's fair to call Drop a scam because of your experience. Hopefully you can get it sorted out. If they can't be of any help, maybe MechCables can be. I hope it works out for you, having things stop working - especially when they cost a lot - is a real bummer.

And if you don't want to buy from Drop again, more power to you.

I don't really see much point in contacting Mechcables. They won't give me a refund, since I bought it from Drop, not them. And I'm not really interested in getting a replacement that I don't trust not to just fail in another month or so.

Dude, a blind man can see that drop is overpriced for their products. Their whole inventory is a scam lmao. Take the Paragon Series Storm Trooper. You can build the same keyboard for like $300~ dollars. They can quite literally go to hell.

I've been happy with everything I've bought from them, personally. So don't buy a pre-built keyboard from them if you don't want to. Why should they go to hell for selling one?

Then you have a lot of money to throw away, my friend. A lot.

All of the keycaps I've bought have been BOGO, so that's saved me a decent amount of money. I'm happy with their quality, and feel like they stack up to other brands in their range (GMK, Signature Plastics, etc.) well. I'm a big fan of ABS keycaps and tall molds, so MT3 is really comfortable for me.

But I'm not knocking cheaper options. Whatever floats your boat!
