Corsair to acquire certain assets from peripheral developer Drop, no terms

Corsair Gaming announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire certain assets from Drop, a privately held peripheral developer best known for its customizable mechanical keyboards and switches, and its millions-member strong enthusiast community. Financial terms of the non-material, all-cash transactions were not disclosed. Founded in 2011, Drop develops and sells a portfolio of peripherals and enthusiast products, with the majority of its business coming from customized “DIY” keyboards, aftermarket designer keycaps and desktop accessories. Drop leveraged the insights of its members to develop its current collection of over 120 colorful, classic, and iconic sets offering an incredible degree of personalization to mechanical keyboard users from all walks of life. It recently expanded its portfolio to include a range of so-called Battlestation products to offer an even wider assortment of designer products for the desk and workspace…Drop will remain a separate brand within CORSAIR and all existing warranties, purchases and customer support requests will continue to be handled directly by the team at Drop.
