It's been a while since we've hosted a meetup at Drop. We want to change that, and are inviting folks to come hang out at our offices (Corsair HQ) in May!
The Details
Date: Saturday, May 11th
Time: 1-5pm
Location: Corsair HQ (Milpitas, CA)
If you're interested in attending this event (or any future events!), please fill out the google form below. Attendance will need to be capped at roughly 30 attendees given the space (edit: we can accommodate a fair bit more than 30 - only mentioned this to manage expectations as this won't be a mega-event with hundreds; will lean more toward the "intimate" side of things, sub-100).

Here is the build log for my new Clueboard with Kaihl Copper switches and GMK Classic Retro keycaps. Its awesome!
The two sides of the case and the reflective plate for RGB lighting.
Build quality on this case is top notch! Really nice stuff.
Locating and installing lubed and clipped stabs.
Finished and ready for key caps!!

Every time I build a new keyboard, I go hunting for keycaps. And every time I go hunting, it eventually devolves into a desperate search for SA (or equivalent) profile keycaps with a smooth finish. SA is the ultimate profile, IMHO, and they're relatively hard to come by.
Signature Plastics, which is where a lot of SA sets come from like the T0mb3ry SA Carbon
set (they might actually hold the trademark on the SA profile if I'm not mistaken), is reportedly going through some management/ownership struggles (last I heard, they're looking for new ownership), and along with apparently the rest of the industry, they seem to be neglecting this superior keycap profile in their own stocks. If you order direct from them, they have a couple themed sets in stock (maybe), but generally you can have any color you want, as long as it's black or white.
Drop carries a fair number of MT3 profile sets, which are very similar to SA. But just like SP's SA-P profile, they're made with a different...
They should make one in the same style as their SHIFT/CTRL/ALT keyboards. Both in the low profile and high profile styles. They should include a knob and a couple of extra buttons.
I bought my Tokyo60 a year ago and the RGB light worked when I first finished building it. I turned it off after a while cause it was distracting using Fn + Q. But recently, I tried to turn it back on with Fn+Q, W, E, R, T, and Y, but none worked. I tested Fn, Q, W, E, R, T, and Y; each worked individually. Do you guys run into this problem and know how to troubleshoot it? Any advice will be helpful! Thanks!

MT3 is great and all but after using MTNU I can never go back. When will Drop get MTNU? Drop has so many cool sets but at this point I’m not interested in any other profiles. Cherry, DCS, DXA, OEM, XDA, SA, etc all boring. MT3 was neat but it’s boring now too (and too tall).
Hoping to spend boatloads of money here again sometime soon, but that won’t happen until Drop offers something interesting again like its own custom cap, MTNU, or another low profile sculpted keycap. e.g., I tried CannonKeys CXA and preordered SLK Dessau. Neither will be permanent use but at least they’re something different.
Can anyone recommend an acrylic mechanical keyboard dust cover for a DROP SHIFT V2? Desperately looking for one that fits properly and protects the keys.
thank you in advance.
With all the different keycap sets that have been produced, and even more on the horizon... a lot of people have their ultimate 'dream' keycap set, a set that they would probably do horrible things to get their hands on, would be willing to brave /r/mechmarket for, oooooor just spend a lot of money on (perhaps part of your rent money).
So what's your dream keycap set?
A few of my dream sets are:
TheKey.Company GMK Terminal:
MiTo's GMK Laser:
SA Godspeed:
(Although, I just dropped some rent money on the MiTo XDA Godspeed set so I'm golden there)
Hi all! I have the IDOBAO MA BLUE CAT PBT DYE-SUBBED KEYCAP SET. I love keycaps for the color and profile, but I don't care for all the cat stuff. Looking for other owners of this set who might want to swap or sell 4 of the blank blue keycaps and one SYSTEM keycap, like the one on the bottom left-hand side of the pic below. Other suggestions for getting those keycaps beyond buying another damn set would be appreciated as well! Thanks!
The Sea of hearts Switch---Hope every smile you have in the future comes from your heart!
'Emo' seems like a popular word nowadays, from my point of view, it reflects the current state of life in today's society. As the pace of social life accelerates and the pressure increases, we all experience depression to some extent. If you find people around you have become ‘emo’, let's give them more praise, support, and tolerance.
In the past, transportation and letter were very slow, life was only enough to love one person, so beautiful, it reminds me of the life of my parents, how simple, comfortable, and joyful it was. Now the world is in a hurry, may there be light in your eyes and live as you like.
Hello everyone, I am PP from HC studio , today I am going to introduce the Sea of hearts, hope it can bring happiness to everyone! Wishing everyone a heart like a sea, gentle and powerful!

Mecha 01 gmk Berserker alpha numerics, what are other people doing with them?
I put this build together while waiting on an additional set however this combination is growing on me quickly. Curious what people think and are doing with their mecha01 berserker sets?
Outside of V2 TKL Barebones (minuscule difference), who else has noticed the price change since Corsair acquired the company. Prices on products seem up from the discounts we were given before. We also are seeing selection dwindle on certain items, a lack of Collab's and now new keyboards come in plastic. I personally love heavy keyboards. Do you like the acquisition that Corsair made or do you think DROP should have remained its own entity?
Back in September, when Drop ran the geocaching LotR giveaway, I was one of the lucky finders of a board in Houston. I did the needful to claim my free artisan keycap, even getting a response from @HoffmanMyster that it would be shipped soon, but I still haven't received it.
Now I can't even seem to get an update from anyone. Is there anything else I'm missing? I would love to add it to my elvish keycap board...

Hi, this is FOD team,I'm Zef.
A while ago, we released the AM Icy Silver Switches Pro in conjunction with the Angry Miao team, which is now available on AM's platform.
Now, we are going to bring you the first drop of the brand -- FOD Lucky Linear Switches.
Inspiration:Chinese Red envelope
A red envelope or red packet (Chinese: 红包) is a monetary gift given during holidays or for special occasions such as a wedding, a graduation, or the birth of a baby. (Quote from wikipedia)
So, in Chinese culture, red envelopes are a way of expressing blessings and encouragement, representing wishes for good luck and wealth, which are exactly the values of our brand.
With this in mind, FOD Lucky Linear Switches was born.
Y3 Stem - The Legend Continues
The stem made of Y3 has a coefficient of friction of only 0.04, which is nearly 70% lower than conventional POM and LY materials. The Y3 material has already shown great results on the Ice Silver Pro...
QMK firmware (also SignalRGB compatible) for SHIFT...
So one SignalRGB's people was kind enough to create QMK firmware that's also SignalRGB compatible... for the Drop SHIFT:
https://discord.com/channels/951628333504925756/1115823662688374845/1127769343929876612
I tried it and also created a SignalRGB plugin for it. The Drop SHIFT now works in SignalRGB, BUT SignalRGB doesn't know what to do with the SHIFT's under / edge-glow. It stays a static rainbow.
Anyone know what needs to be done to get the under / edge-glow to follow the rest of the keyboard's applied RGB effect?
