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!)

I had generic blank PBT XDA caps from YMDK on original Box Jades for a couple of months and removed them all with no ill effects (no apparent cracked stems, no extremely loose stems), but when I installed those caps on a board with Cherry reds, they were noticeably loose (though still none so loose as to fall off). So my personal experience is that, while the caps were not damaged, they were certainly altered.
I bought new Box Jades anticipating Canvas -- I don't want to loosen an expensive set. Since I'm only covering a Planck, the switches were only another $17 from NovelKeys.
