A brief reflection and look at how far our community has come since joining. I’ve been in the mechanical keyboard hobby for a very long time. It started as a high school student’s search for a keyboard for writing novels back in the 2008-2009 school year. I thought I wanted to be an author and I felt I needed a keyboard that I could sit down to at my desk and just write. After researching, joining forums, and saving money, I made my first purchase in the hobby, a blank black Happy Hacking Keyboard Professional 2.

We’re checking in to let you know the Massdrop x Rama Works M10-B Mini Pad is making its way through production!

With collaboration projects like this, we often go through many rounds of verification and sign offs with our partner.

We’re currently on track to meet our estimated ship date of August 17, but we wanted to give you all a heads up of this potential risk.
We’ll update everyone in July with the latest information.
Thank you
