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!)

Most flattering photo I could take of it:
Some possible improvements:
1) The fog effect is only quite noticeable with a light underneath it, and even then, it looks sparse, unlike in the description page. With the naked eye, you'll have to look closely to see the mist. It somehow looks better photographed, so expect very thin and wispy mists with the real thing. A possible improvement would be a variation in mist thickness/texture. A little thicker here, and little bit thinner there. Invokes a sense of mystery. Will definitely look more interesting.
2) In the first picture, the lower left side of the keycap, where the wood juts out of the white resin jarringly. Will be better if some of that thick fog covering the trees can be applied there to cover the abrupt manner in which the wood juts out there. Kinda spoils the look, looking as if the jagged rocks are jutting out of a lake of milk instead of a bed of fog. The empty white resin parts are actually where light will be able to shine through with a backlight, but they could be made more interesting. As is, these parts look a little empty, and jarring.
Otherwise, I'm rather liking mine. Haven't had a chance to stick it on a back-lit MX keyboard (that's a Logitech G Pro in the background with Romer-G switches.. hey it's not bad!), but I may update with more pictures when I can.
