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: The seller actually just confirmed that it is a Teensy. What I did with the dfu tools is then irrelevant. On a different computer (windows 10) the default configuration is working again but I still do not manage to load anything on the board.
Windows 8
I bought this Ergodox from Ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ErgoDox-Ergonomic-Mechanical-Keyboard-Cherry-MX-Blue-Fully-Assembled-NOT-Kit/182395182981?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D2%26asc%3D40806%26meid%3De281706be3e34d0e93bec8cba4891f42%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D182401231837).
First I tried to flash it using Teensy. I downloaded from the massdrop configurator the default configuration. I loaded the .hex file to the Teensy loader, and activated "Auto" mode.
Second I downloaded the dfu tools (https://s3.amazonaws.com/configurator-assets/kii-dfu_win-0.2e.zip) kii-dfu and dfu-util (v0.8). Pressing "List Devices" and "Flash" in kii-dfu give:
Then I started the Zadig tool (http://zadig.akeo.ie/) (v2.2), options->List all devices and in the list I get 3 items I expected plus "Ergodox ergonomic keyboard", but there is no " Kiibohd DFU Bootloader " as indicated here (https://github.com/kiibohd/controller/wiki/Loading-DFU-Firmware#windows).
Since then the keyboard does not respond any more, except I see the 3 RGB LED turning on when I plug it in. I do not know what to try next.
