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!)

The expected shipment for the most recent drop was April 26, 2018 according to the drop page but mine shipped exactly 24 hours ago and are expected to arrive this Monday. Why do things ship so early sometimes? I'm obviously not complaining but it just sucks to think there's so many things I didn't buy and missed out on because I know by the time I get the item in 2-4 months (or like a year for those Matt3o caps) I'll lose interest or possibly move on.
I know it's impossible to have mass quantities stocked and this is more complicated and intricate than buying from a giant like Amazon but I really wish an explanation could be provided for when things ship so early like this. It would make a lot more people buy more frequently and it seems like a win, win, win for consumer, manufacturer and Massdrop. Either way, I can't wait to get the key caps.
So this shipped early simply because Tai Hao really rocked on production, but even still there was FAR less work involved than something like MT3 here as the profile was already created.
