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!)

On my board, the socket was still secure, but it was missing a piece inside the socket and I got a replacement. I was more gentle in attaching the new socket and it's holding up so far.
The socket lead attaches to the board assembly via a plug and socket. I didn't think to take photos, but it's a fairly easy fix -- about 10 minutes with the right tools. Be careful with the hex screws in the backplate -- I nearly stripped one with the "proper" hex bit. I switched to Torx and had no further issues.
