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. | ||||||||

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. | ||||||||

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