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!)

Thank you for all your feedback. A lot of you have expressed your dissatisfaction with this drop in the discussion and in private messages to us. After a lot of deliberation and input from other members of the Mech Keys team (Brian, Yanbo, Alex, and Kunal), we’ve decided to close this drop.
We take the comments and context given to us by the community extremely seriously. In this case, there are significant outstanding issues and we’ve decided to close the drop. This does not necessarily mean that we would not work with them in the future. Once the vendor makes right on their existing promises to the community and has earned the goodwill of its members, we would be happy to work with them at that time.
I can’t thank you guys enough for being vigilant and keeping us honest. We always love the feedback and the checks and balances that you all provide.
Lastly, for everyone who joined this drop, we’ll work on getting other similar products to you soon.
Ill just leave it at that.
Best wishes to all involved, including Sprit. You can still make good and improve your standings in the community.
Really, I feel a little bad getting so angry with this whole situation, so apologies if I came off a little harsh, or as some sort of self-anointed police of the Keyboard Community(tm)
It just gets frustrating watching when a business that has fleeced you appears to get support. And my order is small compared to others, so I can only imagine.
Anyway, be careful of the dog. She gets too excited sometimes and nibbles on noses.
