    Sad to see it go, but it had degraded significantly from the Massdrop era. It used to be a place to get a decent discount on pre-orders from good to great brands, but it slowly became nothing but second rate computer accessories.

    I still have most of the things I bought from Massdrop - pocket knife, leather belt, headphones, etc. Those products lasted.

    Massdrop was interesting, as a place to get stuff you couldn't get elsewhere easily (even if I never bought something there, I considered it multiple times and I think I had some things on my wait list). Is there already something like a successor platform? Drop.com as a site for branded corsair gear is completely useless.

      I too would like to know. I bought many keyboard build kits from massdrop back in the day as well as my terrific Sennheiser headphones.

    In other words they’ve shut it down, and are going to use the brand recognition to hawk as much low quality gaming merch as they can.

    I think I got a really cool wallet and notebook from Hand & Sew through Massdrop many years ago. The wallet is long gone but the notebook is still around with a wonderful patina. It used to be a really cool site for unique items. I stopped using it when they had a falling out with Input Club and it seems like they've just gone downhill since then.

    Good thing I stockpiled on Planck boards. All good things have an end I guess.

    this is terrible, imho. defeats the purpose of the platform. i'm sad for 6XX series headphones :c
