sixelannifThe quantity is probably because this is leftover stock from the last group buy. This product was already dropped before, only there were more key switch options and I don't think it had such a small quantity limit.
It's a keyboard with Cherry MX switches (as opposed to gateron or other cheaper types), metal case, detachable cable, and fun backlighting options. In fact I think the price is similar to the IKBC MF108 that dropped recently.

CyphreOk but thats kind of what I was saying, this isn't a group buy it's just a limited edition product for sale.
And as for the price the IKBC MF108 that you mention goes for about 170$ on amazon, which once again kind of gives credence to the fact that the 'dropped' price for this keyboard is actually the proper retail price, and those 250$ that it's supposed to cost (not that you can buy it anywhere else mind you) is pure fabrication.
I'll say it again, I don't mind having limited edition custom made products here, but i'm not sure they should really count as group buys, and they definitely shouldn't advertise a supposed retail price if you can't get it anywhere else. The only other place I saw this keyboard for sale was on Ducky's facebook page where it was advertised as 'coming soon' in 2015 ! And no price was mentioned.

Also note the limited quantity, that in itself is suspicious as the whole point of a group buy is to bring the price down in exchange for a large order. So what's up with this limited quantity deal ? why wouldn't the company want to sell more ?
And since this is a Massdrop Exclusive product, where is the retail price even comming from ? Ebay ? Hell you could input any old number in there and make it look like a real bargain.
As far as I'm concerned this has nothing to do with a group buy, it's just a limited edition product with a false price drop, which in and of itself isn't a problem but stop calling it a group buy if the number of buyers is limited, and stop putting a retail price on a product that isn't sold anywhere else.
