Tokyo60 V4 from Dorp.
Why all the references to Dorp instead of Drop?

Because they dorp things up a lot of the time. Seriously though, the way they do business and interact with the mech keyboard community can be really shady. I don’t have all the context. I’m new. I’ve personally never had a problem I couldn’t resolve by contacting their support, but I know it’s cool to hate on them.

Ah, gotcha, I’m probably even more new, so I didn’t know the origin. I guess I’ve been lucky with my mt3 keycap purchases from them.

A literal drawer full of stuff showed up today. For whatever reason USPS was just really backlogged the last couple of weeks and stuff was barely moving.

What a cornucopia!
@xli92149 @patcoll also, I still have a few random DORP stickers left-over from the give-away a while back if you guys want one.

Haha yeah! Love it.
Ditto!
They used to be called massdrop, definitely not the worst thing they ever did, but definitely the most legendary IMO: they sent out an email where the first word in the title was supposed to be massdrop but instead it said “assdrop”

Finally received my Ketch PCB to complete my minivan after many hours of waiting, this thing sounds and looks like a dream with these vintage blacks, unfortunately my 6.25 stabalizer didnt fit the pcb so I went with split space instead, all the better, as Im already used to it

Snow Whites are not leathery IME I haven’t compared them to L+F creams, but they definitely feel a lot smoother than creams stock.

Finally! My first premium keycaps set! Very excited.
Preliminary test exhibited a deeper, thoccier sound than what I have so far (OEM, Cherry, Tex profile).
Now I need a premium case to go with it

Finally got some blue inks in. I’ve been wanting to try them since they were announced and finally ordered some. They’re alright. I’m a bit underwhelmed, but I think I’m just all the way in on thick click switches at this point.

Seems to be the case with most people that have tried clickbar switches, me included. They’re just better in every way in my opinion.

Stock blue inks might be as far as you can take a click jacket, which isn’t very far IMO.
The housings are fantastic for tactile frankenswitching, though - one of my favorite places to put a Halo stem.

Let me clarify, STOCK Snow Whites are similar to L+F creams but the SW’s are much smoother lubed.

I’m also fairly new here, but to better understand relationship of this forum and Drop Dorp, you probably want to read this.

There is also this classic archive. http://www.massdrama.com/
Although I will say that I don’t think Drop is as bad as it was in the past anymore. However I will also state that I have “aged-out” of shopping on Drop so I don’t have as many experiences with them as I used too.

The Dorp references came from a typo I made in a post sometime back and many decided it was a more suitable name for the company.

Now here is something a little different. I took a chance on ordering a NOS KB that was never taken out of its original packaging from ebay. I knew it was mechanical cause it said so on the box & was figuring it would be a Chicony board from the case style, but I had no way of knowing what switches would be in it. I was hoping for SKCM whites or at the far end of pipe dreams SKCM blues. Instead it ended up having Aristotle clickies in it! Probably gonna keep this one all together, but it is definitely cool having a board full of NOS Aristotles!
