Is their a case for the rk61?
Is there a case that can work for my wired rk61? I been looking for a case that can fit it and I can’t seem to find one. My rk61 has 4 screws and the screws are on the back of the case. I’m looking for an aluminum case and was wondering if drop has one? If there is a custom kind I can get that would be great. I know there is the rk61 pro but I ain’t gonna buy it since it’s like buying a whole new keyboard. If anyone can lmk if their is a aluminum case that can work for my keyboard that would be great!

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!)

Building Tribute Boards: the art of imitation
“Anne Marie? Do the interns get Glocks?” asks Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) in Wes Anderson’s classic The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. “No” she replies without pausing from looking up from sunbathing… “they all share one.” If you’re new to director Wes Anderson and his collection of artsy, charming, and sometimes problematic but otherwise entertaining films, The Life Aquatic is a good place to start. Not because it’s his best work (The Royal Tenenbaums) or even his most approachable (The Fantastic Mr. Fox) … but because it is all of the things I described above and is a perfect example of what a Wes Anderson movie is. The actors, who make up his all-star casts are reduced (if that term can be used this way) into extensions of Anderson’s creative mind and play their parts to perfection. The plot is funny and also tragic, the music in the movie is completely unique and also instantly recognizable (Portuguese covers of David Bowie songs) and the movie blends dialogue and...

Drop CTRL double "t" char and turning off after 3 yrs
Hi all, I bought a Drop CTRL in 2021. I liked that it was a well-rounded mechanical keyboard that "just worked" without having to do a bunch of customization (I just want a bulletproof keyboard that feels and looks good). It has been a fantastic keyboard, I especially like how heavy it is and the key weight is perfect for me. However, in the last 8mo it has started double inputting the "t" key and now it randomly will stop inputting anything (but the lights stay on) or it turns off completely (no lights, no input). I normally plug it into a powered hub but I tried plugging it directly into my computer to see if the problem persists and it does. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this or where to start diagnosing? I type all day long so I don't have a lot of ability for down time.

First build, couldn't be happier with it.
After window shopping for months I finally pulled the trigger on building a mechanical keyboard. It's silly but I was hopping that by having a keyboard I'm excited to use I would be drawn to doing...

Pictures below are on a Ducky Shine 3 with white backlighting and the purple caps.
Darkest setting
Now my Vortex black caps that I received had the worst QC I've been unlucky to experience and they have plastic overflow where the light is supposed to shine through. I had to refund them for that reason plus I received different row profiles for the alphas and stems that weren't properly molded. Horrible first purchase of their caps and sadly last. And as everyone knows the white Vortex have ridiculous bleed through. They might be the only PBT LED caps and affordable but that only goes so far.
People hate this font and others don't mind it. I'm not staring at them all day. Still an amazing price and quality cap.
They address some of the issues I was having before with the wider legends not being fully lot by replacing certain legends with symbols instead of words. There are no secondary commands on the numpad cleaning up that section by a lot. The font on the Alphas is a bit better as well as larger. Lastly this set actually has texture. I do like the squared edges and the pure white color on the RK set, as the Ducky set is round and more of an off white.
I still favor the Vortex set over both of these despite QC issues. If you are not staring at them all day as you say, I am not sure why you would mind the Vortex QC issues either, because there were only aesthetic issues.
