Drop Duration/Quantity
Hello, this is my first time buying from Geon so please forgive my ignorance.
I am really looking forward to April 24th 722 drop.
My question is: If I were to be ready at 6am (when the drop starts for me) how good of a chance do I have to get the board?
Should I make a separate order for PCB, plate etc to complete my 722 sale faster?
Waiting to hear from some people who have experience in participating in these drops, thank you in advance

Here was my playbook on the last F2-84 drop that happened at 3am my local time:
11pm: Go to [Add-Ons] on drop page and start adding the PCB and any plates. Check shipping address and Paypal link in checkout.
Go back to Geon main page. Leave PC as-is. Turn off monitor. Sleep.
2:55am: Wake up and check that cart still has stuff from earlier. Go to drop page.
3:00:00am: F5 one time...

We recommend buying a keyboard first and then slowly buying [Add-ons] items.
With add ons you mean PCB, Plate etc? I read on the website that they can only be bought if I had bought a 722. It does not need to be in the same order?

Does that apply to switches and anything I might order from the site as well?
I noticed now that the drop has a duration of 5 days on the calendar, I suppose it won't be a matter of sell out in minutes?
How did the past drops go?

I mean definitely set your alarm and warm up those fingers, but imo if you're paying attention it should be an easy cop
Standard tips apply of having your payment details saved on the site and whatnot
you can only combine things that have [add-ons] in the name. Switches are usually not in the add on list and will require seperate order/shipping
order the keyboard first at drop time, and then buy from the [add-on] list after.

Once the board link appeared, it took about a minute to add to cart and checkout through confimation given.
Most of us noticed the SS version gone by 3:02am while the brass units were available for a good 2-3 minutes after.
Thank you so much everyone, I am glad this was useful to not just me!
I will mark this as solved, good luck and have a nice day everyone
