Drop Mech Keys Meetup Recap - Thanks for Visiting!
As you may have seen, we just hosted our first meetup in quite a while here at Drop HQ (Corsair HQ, but they seem to like us enough :) )! It was a blast to get to meet so many enthusiasts local to the bay area—it had been 10 years since I was last hanging out with keyboard nerds in the bay, at KeyCon 2014. We had a great time hosting everyone at the offices, checking out all the very nice boards y'all brought, and sharing some of our own projects/spaces! I knew it would be fun to host in the Game Room when I first saw it in person, but seeing it come to fruition was still so cool. Alright, I'll stop blabbering on now. xD Picture time! (Oh, real quick - there will be more of these! Stay tuned for more info and to catch the next one!)

What doesn't show up well in my picture is the wood base, which to the eye is actually a very deep rich wooden color that I quite like. Its thicker than the example photos - and thicker than I expected. This forced the mountain to be closer to the top of the keycap which gives it a bit of a squat appearance.
All of these are hand made, so obviously there are going to be difference between keycap to keycap. I just wish there was a bit more consistency in the painting technique. I suspect that some of them were a bit rushed because they had so many to do.
In spite of those issues, I am glad I have one in my collection.
I think you're right about some being rushed.
