Hey everyone, I'm as frustrated as you are with the current status of this keyboard. Before everyone here in the community started sharing information about the Magicforce 68, it was considered a failed product by the vendor. However, it's no surprise that other retailers started calling about this keyboard after everyone here proved how much demand there was for it.
In fact, before we did our group buy, different switch options weren't even something they considered. It was only through our group buy were they able to leverage their production capabilities to offer all the switches and options you are seeing on Amazon now. It goes without saying, but it is incredibly unprofessional and unfair to us that they've shipped out to their other customers before fulfilling our group buy when it is all of you that made this product what it is.
I've already reached out to the vendor to see if there are additional savings for us and will update everyone when I hear back.
I knew I wasn't f**king hallucinating; the Magicforce 68 only really exploded onto Taobao / AliExpress / Amazon AFTER the success of the first drop. It's sad that people are now using other retailers as a stick to beat Massdrop with.
I bought two units from the first drop and I still get irritated whenever somebody tells me "you coulda got that from Taobao for way cheaper".
YanboWu you shouldn't just "reach out" to the vendor, you should be tearing them a new one.
Tear them a new one. They should NOT be selling to amazon and other retailers BEFORE finishing what's already on their plate. It is a HORRIBLE business practice and they should have to deal with the blowback from it.
I know its annoyed me to no end this was my first step into mass drop, This has made it a bit of a bitter one. This is the first mechanical keyboard I've gone for due to at the time it been a decently cheep one to start with so I ordered a Black unit white led with cherry black variant which was roughly $77 (with uk delivery). When low and behold less that 2 -3 weeks after the drop they popped up like wildfire on amazon for as low as £20-29 all be it with non charry or galaron switches. Which drives me to no end as we are waiting so long for ours to come through.
Blarg just needed to vent using this rubber dome keyboard is getting to me :(
