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!)

I have a build log here: https://imgur.com/a/dPHng
Was thinking of doing Burnt Oranges for a Planck later on. Love the coppers, and I'm definitely intrigued by the heavier switch.
I've been testing kailh speed switches with my preonic for a temporary build, (they are not heavy switches, silver) only complaint about them is they don't have old cherry-style housings, so I can't use qmx clips. If I have to use kailh speed switches again for my next build, I have to solder sockets before soldering switches, it will be very time-consuming work so I'm not sure I will use them again. But your build log makes me rethink, what an awesome job! Congrats on building your planck successfully.
