Not a helpful community
These keyboards are complicated for the uninitiated. While I spent a lot of time in some of the community guides trying to educate myself on the various switches available, I was unaware that there were five pin and three pin switches — I naively believed that the switches sold on the Drop site would work with my CNTRL keyboard purchased from Drop. When the 5-pin switches arrived I tried to install them and discovered that I have a 3-pin keyboard. When I tried to return them my return was denied, leaving me out $50 and with almost 90 unusable switches. Even now, I’m not even sure that 5-pin and 3-pin switches are all there are and now I’m more confused and somewhat terrified of trying something new in fear of getting stuck with another unreturnable $50 order of switches. It wasn’t until I actually pulled all the switches out of the keyboard and tried to install the new switches that I realized my mistake. While in theory I understand the customer service response, I think it’s weird that Drop bills itself as this helpful community but then when stuff goes haywire there’s no recourse. I’m out almost $50 because I didn’t understand one of the dozens of minute details one has to understand to make a knowledgeable purchase, and it sucks that Drop can’t accept my return so I can purchase the correct switches. I know I’m not the most valuable of your customers, but you’ve lost me in this experience.
