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 Windows key works by default as Command, but it's it's in the wrong spot compared to a Mac keyboard. Control works like normal, and Alt works like option by default. To make it the same layout, I simply swapped the Windows and Alt keys in the keyboard settings straight on the computer. So now Alt works like Command and Windows works like option. I use it a lot for graphic design programs, so having them back in the proper place really helps.
The only issue is that there's no Command on the right side, because where it would be is where the FN key is. I find myself sometimes trying to use it, but I mainly use the one on the left anyway, so it's not a big deal.
You can also swap your keys (best part of a mech is swapping the caps right?) so tehy reflect correctly
Thats what I did on mine
