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

Tbf most of the recent one went down due to financial ineptitude (looking at you, Mechs & Co) more than market saturation.

One thing that contributes to this failing is the vendors major income coming from group buys. Unfortunately, there does not seems to be an alternative to this system just yet unless the vendor starts with substantial capital that can cover the book during downtime.
