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!)

Does anyone have any suggestions that might help me get these installed? This is what my keyboard looks like now :)
I was thinking super-glue to get these to stick in the hole, but I'm not sure if that's a great idea or not.

if this happens to me, i place a piece of thin paper, cigarette paper for rolling your own cigarettes in my case, above the hole and then stick the peg in. Works like a charme, it's like making a drilled hole smaller again to make it fit. I wouldn't glue it, might be a bad idea, if you want to change caps again and the pegs would be needed.
Yea, I thought if I glued it I'll just have to order some new plastic pegs if/when I get new caps, they're around 50 cents for a pair. But I like your idea better.
Thanks!
Edit: This worked like a charm, I actually folded over the rolling paper once and it created a perfect snug fit. Thanks again!
had forgotten to mention that i usually need a "double layer" too, one isn't tight enough. Glad it worked out.
