Corsair acquired Drop in December 2023 in an effort to expand its peripheral business beyond the basic gaming keyboards and audio gear it offered at the time, and it has since adopted some of Drop’s keyboard expertise into its new Corsair MAKR 75 DIY keyboard kits. Now, Drop has announced that Corsair will be fully absorbing Drop, closing down the online storefront and turning Drop.com into a showcase for all of the collaborations Drop has done in its time making premium peripherals.
The announcement makes it clear that Drop.com will no longer be an operational storefront by March 31, and anyone looking to place an order on Drop will need to do so by March 25. The announcement states that “many Drop products will continue to be offered directly from Corsair and partner channels,” and while Drop says that buyers can “expect exclusive announcements, limited runs, and products shaped by partnerships and creativity,” it seems like Drop’s operations will be scaled back as a result of the change—by how much is unclear, though.
The full announcement by Drop follows:Drop began in 2012 as a place where enthusiasts came together to design and discover products across various categories. What started as a small community grew into something much bigger, shaped by your ideas, feedback, and passion over the past 13 years.
That spirit of collaboration remains at the heart of what we do. And now, we are entering our next chapter.
As part of our integration with Corsair following the 2023 acquisition, Drop will no longer operate as a standalone ecommerce store as of March 31st. The final day to place orders on drop.com is March 25th as products move to their new homes.
Drop.com will become a hub to highlight collaborations across our brands, from The Lord of the Rings to Cyberpunk 2077 and Fallout Nuka Cola, showcasing curated releases within the broader Corsair ecosystem. Expect exclusive release announcements, limited runs, and products shaped by partnerships and creativity.
This evolution allows us to focus on what we do best: bringing bold ideas to life through meaningful collaborations.
The audiophile and keyboard communities are not going away. We invite you to continue the conversation on the Drop Discord, where enthusiasts will keep sharing inspiration and ideas.
