so if you commit at 89 it comes out to 98.25, but you can get this same exact board on amazon for 99.99 and have it immediately instead of May; am I missing something? This is the same board right?

boviceNo, you're not missing anything. That's how Massdrop works a lot of the time.

mcmillionThanks, was hoping there was something I was missing. I have gotten some greatdeals on keycaps and accessories on massdrop, but this just isnt one of those great deals. would rather have it on monday than wait til may to save a buck.

boviceObviously you are missing the $1.74, penny pinchers are going to get their pennies! XD

boviceSometimes it works out better for people outside of the U.S. that don't have access to Amazon.

boviceThanks for the link! I live in California so after shipping and sales tax I'd pay $5 more on Massdrop than I would on Amazon (with free Prime shipping).
Massdrop's offerings tend less compelling for people in California.

boviceIt looks like the Amazon board has RGB backlighting, where as MassDrop does not. However the Amazon one doesn't have a removable cable. There are certainly trade offs.

ChurchillWAh, I am so used to having Amazon, I didn't think about that.

WenJayIf you take a look at the description, it is indeed the same board with removable cable, and it is not backlit. You have have taken a look at the question/answer section, which shows a few questions like that from back in october. PACKAGE CONTENTS -Keyboard x 1 -User Manual x 1 -USB Type C Braided Cable x 1
The confusion here is that Amazon has a single Poker product page, and you can switch between TKL, II, RGB Full, etc. and the questions/answers area is the same for whichever version you choose.

ChurchillWNot really.
Taxes and everything is still as high as on Amazon. Shipping MAY be a bit slower outside an Amazon country, but not as slow as this.

Mar 3, 2017

RageNorgeThere must be some market for it though right, otherwise these drops wouldn't exist?

ChurchillWlooks like the drop moved down to 79.99, so you can now save $10.

RageNorgeI haven't found a single Amazon seller who ships Poker keyboards outside of the states. Buying from Amazon would mean we would have to pay for a package forwarding service as well, which would make it a lot more expensive than Massdrop.

ChurchillWPeople outside the US that don't have access to Amazon?? Name one Country? I'm on a Caribbean Island <100k population, with Amazon Prime. Have you ever traveled outside the US?

Vote

Nov 24, 2017

surootOK, maybe I should have said, it may not be as cost efficient to buy from Amazon for everyone. I've been to plenty of places outside of the U.S. I've had my passport for more than 35 years and was traveling before I could speak.
Plus the person that posted right above you is one example.
Luck for you and me that we have access to Amazon. Not everyone is so fortunate.

ChurchillWMy apologies. Almost 70% of Americans have never left the US. So yes indeed you are one of the fortunate. The US passport dropped to the 6th most powerful passport in the world last month, so get those travels in while you can! jk :)

surootThat is true, some Americans don't even have a passport or may have never been on a plane.

Do I Need to Lube My Keyboard Switches?

Figure 1: Sometime around here is a good time to ask that question... If you’re new to the mechanical keyboard hobby, I have no doubt that planning your first keyboard build is a bit of a daunting task. To be entirely honest with you, it’s only a tiny bit less daunting for your second or even third keyboard builds should you stay around a little while longer. You’ve got the keyboard itself to worry about, stabilizers, keycaps, and even switches on top of all of the intangible marks you want your dream keyboard to hit. Switches are especially daunting right out of the gate as there’s just so many options out there to pick from – each with their own unique specifications, manufacturers, and more. Yet, in spite of all of these differences between switches, time and time again I find people always asking about lubing switches as one of their chief concerns when it comes to picking some up. With countless numbers of content creators talking about lubing switches, its no...

ALT V2 not detected with Drop Keyboard Configurator

Hi, This is my first non-mac keyboard. I was under the impression that this would work out of box with with mac desktop however I am having issues getting the ALT V2 detected with the keyboard configurator software. The keyboard is plugged in and powered on. Apologies if this is very basic or if I have used incorrect language describing my issue, I don't have experience with this. Thank you
