bball2No changes/tweaks will take place for the Laser 65% keyset kit that will be available on this drop. The actual and properly designed kits were offered in November/2017 and what's happening right now is a special deal for the ALT 65% keyboard, so the keycaps are designed specifically for it. If we were to start adding keycaps and playing favorites for "this" and "that" layout by adding just "this" keycap, things would get crazy very quickly. I hope you understand!

YanboWuHey! I love the keyboard. Two questions:
Will the keyboard itself go down in price as the same time as the whole package? I already have ordered Laser, so I'm only interested in the board itself.
How much will switches be? Because I want some Halos with it.

kamisamamizuHey @kamisamamizu the price drops are only tied to the keycap set quantities. The barebones version will always remain the same price.
@omgjlk yes the keycap set with this drop will be designed for the ALT to keep prices inline. Otherwise things can get pretty crazy and we think Laser deserves it's own full re-release at a later date.

YanboWuFirst off, kudos @MiTo and @YanboWu for bringing this to the multitudes like me that have hounded you for a second chance at Laser. Would love to see another round of accessories when this goes live... USB C mech cables would be awesome to see. (I have one of his custom USB C cables and have found it higher quality than factory ones I've bought.)
Also, I'm sure you both know that a novelties kit would sell at least as many as there are buying this board... so why not? Either way, thx again for the second chance and extra nudge I needed to pick up the ALT in addition to the CTRL.

erickongYeah, Laser is delayed and won't ship until sometime in July. R2 will probably be at least a year out from that. That's why I used the term "s00n™."
If I gave anyone the wrong idea that there may be a full Laser drop any time in the near future, I apologize. Your best bet for Laser without paying aftermarket prices is to get this keyboard.

jscrubActually, the problem isn't even with you asking for information - it's the fact that you started personally attacking contributors and then pivoted to asking for information. You're not fooling anyone with your insincere concerns.
Not that you actually care to know more, but here's a few Youtube series you can use to get a good estimate of the answers for yourself: Top Clack has a series featuring Brandon from Input Club: "Castle Keyboard Design Stream". The Board Podcast has one on designing a little macro pad PCB: "KiCAD Tutorial - FHANv3". Gamer's Nexus talking about their experience manufacturing something for the first time (a simple mod mat): "Manufacturing Detailed: What GN Modmats Taught Us". EEVBlog, AvE, GreatScott!, etc have more information on electronics, materials, and building/manufacturing in general.
Regardless, you blew your chance at being any kind of "activist" with how you approached the conversation. Sorry.

kindjieI just looked at his purchase history anyway and he's already bought the standard ALT and CTRL. Don't know why all of a sudden he seems to care about what about specific manufacturing details after he's already bought 2 boards that are coming from the same supplier.
But the board itself might be on a higher point, but Massdrop also put $50,000 into their QMK interface that will work with not just their keyboard, but benefit the entire community. More or less, I see the CTRL and ALT helping to fund that.
For anything, doing some google searches and get good ideas of manufacturing costs of products. You can pretty much estimate the build cost of an ALT keyboard yourself. You can look at typical sites and a 65% PCB that has RGB underglow is $50, this one has hot swap sockets which come out to $1.27 a piece. I'm sure they're getting bulk discounts on these, but even if they're $0.30 a piece and 67 keys on this keyboard, that's still $20 in hot swap sockets alone. Even at that getting them from Kailh direct requires 26000 minimum order quantity to purchase them but we're probably looking at 2000 CTRL + ALT keyboards so they need something like 150,000 of these things ordered. SMD RGB for each keycap on the same numbers are probably some $0.20 a piece and I know this because I just bought 50 SMG RGB to mod a keyboard of mine and have pricing information, so that's $13.40 for the RGBs. Then there's overhead to design, prototype, added assembly etc that you add to the cost. But you're at a PCB that is probably in the $90 range? Throw in a custom made case that needs to be machined out of aluminum for another $50 and you have the price they are charging us.
Bottom line, if you wanted to build this keyboard yourself, you'd be paying a pretty penny and way more than Massdrop is charging us. All in all, we get a good deal because the large quantity Massdrop has gives us a significant savings.

HerpDerpenbergbottom line, who gives a shit about your sherlock holmes case against me... I am asking for some simple information and it doesn't hurt you to get the information.
The community talks about positivity and growth but when the rubber meets the road a bunch of you cannot get over your bunched panties because I said some shit you don't like.
So look me up, get offended, but it doesn't take weight from the fact that we just got played.
This drop contains stock from the alt keyboard, this laser drop opened right after the ALT closed, however the LASER will only ship one month off from the ALT... this means the stock being received for build is going to the other, but massdrop is not offering you the savings from the additional laser items.
Rather than jumping on the hype train, I am asking "where is the benefit of massdrop if they do not offer customer service and any drop with actual volume is delivered late"
I understand if you are unable to get over my previous statements of hate, this is the internet, I am not looking for a miracle. Again, there is no harm to me asking the questions, try not to get so offended.

sevenseacatWhat are you defending? Are you a massdrop employee? what does this have to do with you? Ignore the thread or is this your weekend quest? To prove I shouldn't ask questions about the margin on the PCB and case when we just got market gamed. Two separate drops? They are the same thing, one is purple. That is the anodizing process, a lot different than machining, and the drop was split but it contains items that are going to be purchased in volume together.
It took 3 hours for my last protest to get a response from massdrop... MiTo took a few days this time around and massdrop is silent. You need to stop trying to defend the corporation who is profiting from the group buy structure.

HerpDerpenbergSo you put the pieces of the puzzle together for me. 1500 alt keyboards sold but you will not see any combined savings for the PCB or the housing. If people stopped fighting over nothing (welcome to the current state of the internet) we could get feedback, we could change the dynamic.
If you are willing to blindly pay, why not ask a little more of massdrop. If they justify the costs, no loss. I understand if you do not recognize the marketing ploy or do not want greater volume discounts for the total group buy. Please understand if I do want greater volume discounts for the total group buy.

Yes, they're likely making more money in profit the more of these sell. But you know what, good for them if they market a product that everyone thinks is a fair price.

Again, people should be asking massdrop about why ALT and Laser were split, when it could have been offered together with the same options and given a better price. We do not ask massdrop for information on the parts in the keyboard, and I think it would do everybody good to learn more about massdrop's supplier costs and work conditions for this keyboard.
If MiTo is going to put his name on what is a mass produced item made by a business (not an independent group buy) hopefully he is able to stand behind the price and is using suppliers with appropriate work conditions (not just relying on compliance with international law).
I apologize if you do not agree with my perspective and would appreciate if you stopped trying to create an argument. I have repeated these points ad nauseam, they have not changed since my apology and consequent rebuttal which explained my negative emotions.

The world must be going through a revolutionary change for the internet to call defamation on a nonsense comment. Hopefully I do not need to define defamation another time... again, get your panties out of a bunch.

jscrubI was just telling you the basic definition of defamation since you seemed reluctant to look it up yourself. I'm not the one who made the comment about suing. It's clearly defamation even if it's not in the legal sense (although I wouldn't be surprised if it is, since you're actively trying to ruin MiTo's reputation).

ClackerI said he creeped me out because he creeps me out, I do not appreciate the use of his image to sell keyboards. I said he was a pedo because they censored what was a harmless comment, it was a hyperbolic statement made in a moment of shortsighted anger, and I apologize, and apologized for the use of the word. If people are not allowed to make off handed comments any more, society is fucked. People grow through mistakes, I made a mistake, admitted to it, got a bunch of fanboys up in arms.
The community suffers from a SJW dynamic. There are a lot of shitty things going on here, but don't use the word pedo, we can point to that one clearly and all jump on the bandwagon, that is an easy target.
After I took my lashings I decided to rebut my comment, elaborating why I felt MiTo was a creep. Why did I feel the need to attack his character? Because fuck you, worse things have been said. Is today the day we draw the line on internet censorship? No, rather, the defenders of MiTo looked me up and personally attacked me, threatened my family, my job, my security, over what amounts to a harmless word. Again, if you cannot handle a hyperbolic statement made on a message board by a guy who was just censored, get teh fuck off teh internet.
@MiTo or @YanboWu I would like information on your supplier work conditions, as well as information on the PCB and aluminum housing cost. I am confused why the LASER drop was split from the ALT when they could have been offered together with the options for LASER in the checkout menu. I think that Massdrop split this purchase to sell more keyboards at a higher margin and disguised the move to keep the price of the keyboard higher than if the drop was a combined 1500 units.
Again @MiTo if you are putting your name on a sales program sponsored by a business (who is profiting greatly from a community driven group buy model) hopefully you can stand behind the labor conditions of the factory producing your components. Hopefully you are not selling out the name MiTo just so massdrop can sell more keyboards.

You're not going to get a price answer (and you know it too), and there's little to obtain from getting that information anyways. You (and the others too) should really shut it at this point.

I don't think I have been flinging much shit, even in my defensive replies. Shit is a fun word though.
We all would benefit from the information I request and if you read my argument you would understand my position against massdrop. Stopping in and inserting yourself only restarts the discussion. Thank you for your input though, if you want to reply talking more shit please take the time to summarize my position first. Summarize my position, then present your argument.
I understand you think this is a shit show and that massdrop is just a business who should be free to do what they want, including profit. My position is that massdrop used clever marketing and drop timing to sell an additional 500 keyboards without having to offer any additional volume savings for the group purchase.
My position is that massdrop lacks any customer service and fails to deliver on time for a majority of their popular drops. It is like walmart renting out their shelves to the manufacturer, removing walmart's overhead associated with stocking their own warehouses for distribution. Just as walmart reinvented warhouse shopping, massdrop has created a new business model enabled by internet connectivity, we should take action now to demand more rather than reinforcing the current status quo.
Here we have a company who is acting as the intermediary to the manufacturer but they do not carry stock or have any meaningful customer service to support their wares. Consequently, we are supposed to see savings, however if you browse through a majority of the drops you will notice minimal savings for long delivery times. The model seems to be create drops the organization understands will not be successful, but drives traffic to the site to sell high margin re-occurring drops.
Consequently we have a website driven by media creation and we have an opportunity to get lost in the media in our scramble to get our hands on the coolest new thing on the site. Why was the LASER presented after the ALT variant? Because if you bought a LASER why would you want an ALT... If you bought an ALT and didn't cancel in time you may buy a LASER too.
Again, I understand your position, let massdrop do massdrop. But please understand my position, massdrop could do more for their customers, right now they are bottom of the barrel because most of people on this site do not know the group buy model is about communities, not profiteering.
FFS, just look at how massdrop sorts the categories of things we purchase... by community. They are playing off the dynamic but lining their pockets like any other company would.

jscrubI have no need to summarize your words; that's your responsibility. Let's break down what you said. Of course, you'll continue to comment because of stubbornness, but this'll be interesting.
> My position is that massdrop used clever marketing and drop timing to sell an additional 500 keyboards without having to offer any additional volume savings for the group purchase.
Geez, a business that profits isn't allowed to market anymore? Wow, who would have known! If you wanted savings, you should have bought in the original Laser GB. End of story. The barebones model is $130, so you're getting the body of a better pok3r. Seems ok to me.
> My position is that massdrop lacks any customer service and fails to deliver on time for a majority of their popular drops.
This is unrelated crap you're talking. You originally wanted to know the materials cost and were talking about cost related stuff only. Now you're bringing in an entirely different argument? Fine, let's talk about delays. You are right for some of them. Massdrop has fucked up plenty of times. Hell, there's that website that records their mess ups. But what about the SA Godspeed GB? That responsibility goes to SP. Laser was delayed because of a colour issue, not because Massdrop couldn't handle it. SA Carbon has legend issues, but Massdrop isn't the manufacturer. Other GBs went smoothly. Most of the smaller ones that come and go went by smoothly. It's like reviews on a website; the negative ones stand out more.
> Why was the LASER presented after the ALT variant? Because if you bought a LASER why would you want an ALT... If you bought an ALT and didn't cancel in time you may buy a LASER too.
Sorry, I don't get what you're saying. The GB for Laser was last November. We're lucky this board is being run with Laser; GMK is a large manufacturer. Imagine going to them and saying 'Yeah hi I want 500 sets of these small 60 keycaps made.' They'll laugh at its tiny magnitude, but they're making it. I feel like this is a project that couldn't have happened if weren't for Massdrop's good relationship with GMK (look up the Mint Dolch story if you want to know). Before you say something, I'm not praising either business. I'm not fond of GMK's pricings, nor do I see Massdrop as an altruistic middle man.
TLDR: You're switching back and forth between different arguments. You're implying that Massdrop (a for profit business) should lower prices for the community. I don't know what to say man. I hope one day you'll look back at this event and see how dumb of an idea it was to argue with internet strangers (very heatedly, I may add) for a few days over the price of a very niche, limited product. I'm not going to respond anymore, so see ya. I also hope anyone else reading this stops this conversation, because half of this comment page is cancer and I can't stand the tone.

I am saying they removed the things that take profit from business (holding stock, customer service) and brought us a model that apparently presents savings on top of a unique product. I just see a lot of unique products.
I ask you to summarize my points because anybody can take a quote and pick it to pieces. I am applying my meaning to your words, of course there will be conflict.
I want you to summarize my position so I at least understand where you are misguided on my perspective. I summarized your position for this reason.
If you want to continue this thread until the end of time I will do just as you did to me, take some quotes and write nonsense until one person gets bored with the interaction. Rather, I will stick to my original statement and apologize for not reading your last comment. I saw that you started quoting me like every other master of the internet who has butted into this conversation and decided to just skim your points and hit the TLDR.

jscrubTruthfully, I would be more concerned with the low-cost keyboards, if "human rights" associated with keyboard manufacturing is of your concern. With your logic, there must be a reason that smaller non-mech (or even some mech) companies are able to sell at the low price they are; with your logic it would likely be due to low labor costs that come from labor abuse. Whereas the reality is, materials and overall quality influence the price - which I believe should be obvious. Good luck finding a quality double-injected GMK cap set for even the price of an entire Razer board, let alone an extremely niche and high quality ~KIT~ such as this one.

MiToMito I wanted to let you know i did cancel and its NOTHING against you what so ever. The keyset is amazing but the way Massdrop is handling this is total BS for lack of a better response. I mean waiting tell the last moment to let people know. They charged me at 9pm my time according to Gmail ((I got the email)) then didn't say anything on the drop until midnight. Which is completely unacceptable. I always defended Massdrop but this is some serious crap when they say a drop won't be charged until a certain date. They really should make it clear if it will be charged sooner. In the long run this is the kinda crap that will hurt drops causing them not to go anywhere until the last hour cause people don't want to be randomly charged for stuff cause Massdrop got a bug up there... decided to charge people early.

HotRoderXIt's an unusual situation which I wasn't aware either, I think a warning prior to the actual charge would be the best thing to do too... Or at least wait until the end of the drop. I totally understand your frustration as I believe any sane person wouldn't like to be charged for a project out of thin air. All I can say is that I'm sorry for that and I apologize for this. Unfortunately I can't do much this time. Looks like a statement was released, you can refer to the link below.

Also, have you thought about cancelling the order (which you apparently just did) and joining in the last day again? At least this way you wouldn't be charged right off the bat and still would obtain the product. I understand how PayPal/CC work so I'm not entirely sure this would make much difference at this point since apparently a transaction already got registered, right? Again I apologize for this and you can rest assured I'll be requesting better communication so such an unpleasant situation can be avoided in the future.

I also wanted to say that I'm not happy with this situation and is the first time I've had a major issue with Massdrop and will make me rethink joining future drops.

TagnarasIf this is your first major issue with massdrop, then this is the first time you have dealt with something major regarding massdrop.
Also, I don't neeeeeed to post anything.
@YanboWu why would you call in the funds for the orders early when we can cancel our order, get a refund, and sign up for the drop a few days before it closes? You are taking advantage of people to avoid lower margins. If global politics change you should take reduced margin and still honor your commitment to your customer.
Is massdrop insolvent? Do you not have the money in your organization that you have to collect the funds for every drop before you submit your PO to the vendor? That doesn't make sense, how many extra units are you planning to order to account for the add-ons that join after this date of collection? Do you have the money to order extra units?
How do tariffs work? Are they even applied to the date of purchase? Aren't they applied by the carrier during the process of delivery? How does submitting a purchase order early help by any means? If you were collecting early to submit an early PO to get early delivery, hypothetically before the tariffs went into place, how much money are you even going to save compared to the amount of stress you just created for the 500+ people in the drop
@MiTo or @YanboWu I would like information on your supplier work conditions, as well as information on the PCB and aluminum housing cost. I am confused why the LASER drop was split from the ALT when they could have been offered together with the options for LASER in the checkout menu. I think that Massdrop split this purchase to sell more keyboards at a higher margin and disguised the move to keep the price of the keyboard higher than if the drop was a combined 1500 units.
Again @MiTo if you are putting your name on a sales program sponsored by a business (who is profiting greatly from a community driven group buy model) hopefully you can stand behind the labor conditions of the factory producing your components. Hopefully you are not selling out the name MiTo just so massdrop can sell more keyboards.

Is massdrop insolvent? Do you not have the money in your organization that you have to collect the funds for every drop before you submit your PO to the vendor? That doesn't make sense, how many extra units are you planning to order to account for the add-ons that join after this date of collection? Do you have the money to order extra units?
How do tariffs work? Are they even applied to the date of purchase? Aren't they applied by the carrier during the process of delivery? How does submitting a purchase order early help by any means? If you were collecting early to submit an early PO to get early delivery, hypothetically before the tariffs went into place, how much money are you even going to save compared to the amount of stress you just created for the 500+ people in the drop
@MiTo or @YanboWu I would like information on your supplier work conditions, as well as information on the PCB and aluminum housing cost. I am confused why the LASER drop was split from the ALT when they could have been offered together with the options for LASER in the checkout menu. I think that Massdrop split this purchase to sell more keyboards at a higher margin and disguised the move to keep the price of the keyboard higher than if the drop was a combined 1500 units.
Again @MiTo if you are putting your name on a sales program sponsored by a business (who is profiting greatly from a community driven group buy model) hopefully you can stand behind the labor conditions of the factory producing your components. Hopefully you are not selling out the name MiTo just so massdrop can sell more keyboards.

jscrubWho are these US? Do you have their costs? Can you provide me with their supplier/places of residence. Do you have anything in writing proving these "us" do not abuse human rights or molest children. I terribly concerned about this US you asking questions on behalf of.

schoolbusIn the old days the internet stood for independence and free thinking. Now they compromise their morals and make threats on defense of business.
Shits fucky right now. Thanks for the threat.

jscrubI mean, I don't really know what you're talking about... but you've more or less worked super hard to derail an entire group buy on Massdrop trolling and then you're upset when people decide to troll you.
Might want to reconsider your life choices and accept that the internet isn't your personal sandbox. It's the worlds :)
Who said the internet has changed? Are you just upset that you've been beaten?

schoolbusIf hinting about personal information isn't the definition of a vailed threat, I don't know what is.

jscrubYou've been trolling on this drop and many others, so I clearly and expertly out-trolled you.
I think you call yourself a snowflake, or something.
You can't just do whatever you want and not face the peoples court and the intention of this forum and drop isn't for people to continuously troll because they have nothing better to do.
Go to 4chan, or reddit.
You're not going to buy the product, we get it.
Speak with your wallet like a true capitalist- or does that contradict your theory of independence and free thinking? lmao.

jscrubI did, and that's called owning.
But real talk, if I'm 16 (I wish) then that puts you far below the legal age limit of signing up for this website.

I've hinted at these special colorways during the ALT launch and I was really happy with how these samples turned out. I hope this drop can eventually serve as a template for other special sets - there are so many more possibilities out there.
Thank you again to the community for your support and also to Mito for his ever refreshing designs.
By the way - here are all the caps that would ship with the kit if you choose to purchase it.
