Corsair has acquired Drop, an online retailer known for its mechanical keyboards and keyboard accessories. Drop will continue to operate independently under the leadership of CEO Jef Holove. Corsair hopes to expand Drops brand globally through its supply chain and distribution network. Drop intends to continue its enthusiast-led product development approach and collaborate with community favorites. While Corsair also produces mechanical keyboards, they target a different market focusing on gaming performance rather than typing feel. The acquisition is similar to Corsair’s previous deals where the acquired company continues to operate independently


Any other mechanical keyboard fans? Whatcha main driver these days

    Damn. Currently running with a Keytron K8 but Drop was high on my consideration list for my next buy.

      So far Corsair hasn’t let me down. I’m sure someday they will, but everything I’ve gotten from them has been good quality, but maybe it’s gone down hill since I haven’t had to get any parts in the last few years.

        I’m more against their business practices regarding patents. They are singlehandedly the reason why backpaddles on controllers aren’t more common.
