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!)

Step 2 Specifically: "Solder the diodes onto the *backside* of the PCB" "NOTE: Kits contain both surface-mount and through-hole diodes. *It is recommended you use the surface-mount diodes as the through-hole diodes create spacing issues* in Step 10 (the sandwiched plate does not sit flush against the PCB surface). If you do use the through-hole diodes (again, not recommended), you will have to clip the solder joint very close to the PCB surface so that the sandwiched plate is as close to the PCB as possible."
