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!)

Edit: Wait so the base price of $140 is just for the case, plate and blank key caps? I'm baffled...
Preonic: * Description price: $139.99 - includes plate & anodized aluminum case * $152.48 - with Gateron switches * $170.98 - with Cherry MX switches Brown, Red, or Blue
It's only a $18.49 difference between these two with similar options for Gateron switches.
A couple other options: $168 - Corsair K95 RGB $170 Das Keyboard 4 Professional
To me, this finalizes my decision to get the Preonic on the 15th. It's quite competitively priced when you compare this to the mass produced keyboards like the Das & Corsairs keyboards as well as the customized TADA68.
