“Massdrop doesn’t necessarily need to be cheaper”

Then why have the group buy?

It seems like it would be a hassle to get the boards all shipped to Joe first, as he is hand testing all of them before they are shipped to everyone who bought one. Aside from publicity from being on Massdrop, there is no point to it. Buying from this site is essentially a “group buy”.

Massdrop doesn’t necessarily need to be cheaper

These keyboards are already at their lowest cost as I am selling them directly.  You will not find a better price.
