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...

Zowie would also be a good company to pair with for computer mice.
For a Keyboard partnership... I recommend Input Club, CoolerMaster, OLKB, and/or Ducky. I beg that you **DO NOT** under any circumstances go with Corsair or Razer. Both of those companies produce low quality products that are not worth the money. The non-standard bottom row of a Corsair makes it impossible to find new keycaps for.
For a Monitor partnership... I recommend BenQ. They make very good high quality monitors. Also, if you look at what monitors professional gamers use, you will find BenQ repeating it self a lot. I'm not saying pro gamers are the end all be all, but that says something for itself.
For a Mousepad partnership... I recommend SteelSeries. Their Qck series is especially nice. The Qck+ is great for FPS gaming and gives you plenty of space to turn around multiple times in just one swipe (provided you have the desktop space of course).
