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!)

Bummer, because I found out that I really don't like the feel of the MX Blues as much as some of the other clone Blue switches on my other boards. Should have been patient and skipped it, and waited for what I really wanted.
I'm going for this one here. While I'm ambivalent about MX Clears, I do like them well enough if they are in a heavy keyboard, and after they've become smoother after some months of use.
The DAS keyboard are fairly solid and heavy, so I'm banking that the Clears in this keyboard will be something I like.
I have used the 4c with the Greetech switches. The ergonomics was decent but i couldn't get used to the switch overall - felt too scratchy. I think any MX switch would do this board justice. Shame Das took their customers for granted when this came out. I think you'll like this when the keys are smoother. Just have to grind the first few months out.
I would ideally like to use my greens at work, but i'll probably get thrown out due to the noise. My Browns are just gathering dust. Only thing i have to learn is to type without bottoming out. I have that bad habit of banging the keys in. Old club hands.
