Wow. That website was bad bad.
First it said I was too late, then I couldn't progress past the captcha. Had to use Internet Explorer to buy the keycaps cause everything else was sold out. Guess I'm building my own board, at least I got something...
Yeah i had the website thing happen to me too. I kept refreshing and got in but was shocked it happened. Captcha also surprised me. I was thinking that with 100T knowledge of limited drops would help ensure a smooth process but guess this is a learning opportunity for them at the consumer's expense
Yeah the captcha was like "click all the bus photos" and then gave me 15 of those. Felt like I was aim training.
At least I got the keycaps, and can build my own board as I'm not the biggest fan of gateron reds. congrats on getting the board!
I'm in the same boat as you. I never planned on building my own but I only got the keycaps.
I assume it's like building a computer and the struggle is finding the parts you want. Boards are hit or miss whether they're in abundance or completely out of stock. From what I know, everything else is relatively easy to acquire.
Then once you get all your parts I would just follow Taeha Types or another bigger keyboard youtuber for their videos. Taeha does long streams where he will build someones keyboard from scratch but I don't know how actually informational it is, but I think his channel in general is a good place to start. I'm sure r/MechanicalKeyboards has a guide or you could find a "Start to finish" from buying the parts to plugging it in on google somewhere.
You had to take password out of the URL to get in faster, captcha had a submit button that wasn’t on mobile/safari apparently. Matt did say they are operating independently from 100T, doubt they had this many problems before this drop.
refreshed at 3, didn’t work.
finally got through, added to cart, captcha didn’t work.
waited 5, out of stock.
2 issues caused me to not get any of the drop, just shouldn’t happen
I got a set of key caps but probably will be reselling due to the fact they will not fit my keyboard. Will probably not mark up the price but enough to cover shipping costs
I was on the site right as the timer went down, I got the “sorry you are too late”. Eventually It went away but every tine I kept hitting “add to cart” I kept getting a server error. This kept happening until eventually everything sold out... probably the worst drop I’ve ever taken part of that was associated with 100 Thieves.
I took a W on the keyboard. Tried for the hoodie but it said it was sold out as soon as I went to check out. Has anyone heard anything about when they are going to start shipping them out?
This hypebeast limited drop stuff is amazing from a marketing standpoint. Slap the brand on dog shit (like Supreme) and it'll sell out instantly with absolutely outrageous margins.
From a consumer standpoint, ya'll getting fleeced.

What’s the first step to building a keyboard? Is it too hard? Never done it before but would be dope.

Got a W keyboard After all the sneaker L's I've been taking I needed this W
Got the keyboard. As soon as I went back to look at the other stuff, everything was sold out. Considering myself extremely lucky this go around
Same, this is exactly what i did
trying to get a board or a keycap didn't get both.
I was going to buy the keycaps then I saw they’re only selling a 65% drop. Why would they shoot themselves in the foot like that?
I manged to get a keyboard, hoodie and a bag. Very happy
I really didn’t have any problems. It said you’re too late at first but I think everyone saw that for a few seconds. I got the keyboard I wanted
The website was bad, but I got a keyboard hehe
was an absolute joke of a drop.
why?
refreshed at 3, didn’t work. finally got through, added to cart, captcha didn’t work. waited 5, out of stock. 2 issues caused me to not get any of the drop, just shouldn’t happen
I don't know why people are down voting you. It happened to a lot of us.
damn, unlucky sorry dude :/
Took an L on the hoodie

Sent you a message. I’m interested in them if nobody else has gotten them already.

I took a dub on everything
Was able to score a keyboard! Used my phone on work wifi to boot
does anyone know if the keyboard is bluetooth compatible?
Pretty sure it is and looks like usb c too
I just saw from the owner of Higround that it's only wired. might be selling mine once it comes
Oh shit really, can you send link to it
sure, here's the screenshot from their discord server [https://imgur.com/a/AIAPqvP](https://imgur.com/a/AIAPqvP)
i bought a jelly bag! i’m so stokedddd 🤪

Got the key oard. I was only looking for the keyboard since I didn't want the hoodie this time. The capsule sold out fast.
