Work around for firmware/configuration update error "command not recognized"
I spent more than an hour attempting to update my Drop Shift keyboard. I'm not sure what has changed, but I was not able to do it entirely from the Drop website as I had previously done. I have most of the keys configured how I would like, but the default LED function was a very bright, distracting, rainbow wave going across the keyboard. Every time I turned the computer on I had to manually adjust the lights how I liked. Using the online version or the locally installed app, you first have to install the QMK XAP interface. You then have to flash your already configured firmware file, which can be done on the Drop website. If you are logged in your last configuration is saved under your account and you can alter what you like, so you don't have to start from scratch. So, following the instructions I selected the appropriate board, entered bootloader mode, but when attempting to flash the file, I would get an error that the C:/Users/Mike C..... command is not recognized...

The Fostex launched right as I was looking to get a bit more isolation than my 558s or 650s. I totally could not resist those wood cups.
The VA68M is my preferred layout since I love arrow keys and page up/page down/home/end. Also made me feel really foolish for buying a Leopold 660M two months prior.
The Castor is a nice upgrade from my Naos 5000. My hands aren't that big, so the Castor fits just right and its a super smooth pairing with the SteelSeries DEX mousepad.
