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...

Update 2023-01-13: The slightly-larger test batch of orders sent to the warehouse has begun processing/shipping. We are receiving regular updates and will continue to post here with additional updates as things progress. When your order is processed and shipped, you will receive a shipping notification to the email address associated with your account.
Update 2023-01-12: The warehouse has established a temporary secondary instance of their systems, and we have sent them a preliminary test batch of orders to verify functionality. Initial indications are positive; we will continue to test in increasing-size batches over the next few days. We are hopeful that this is the light at the end of the tunnel. Stay tuned for continued updates.
Update 2023-01-09: Orders which were previously submitted to the warehouse ("locked in" and therefore unable to cancel) have been released from the warehouse and are now able to be canceled. If you are unable to manually cancel the order through your Transactions page, please submit a CS ticket to request cancelation of your order and they will get it taken care of.
Hey everyone, you've likely seen some chatter or experienced the effects of increased shipping times/estimates for our products across the board. Our warehouse partner is experiencing a longer-than-anticipated system outage, which unfortunately means many orders were not delivered by the initial estimated ship date. Additionally, we are having to adjust forward-looking estimated ship dates accordingly. We are sincerely sorry for this, especially at this time of year. We're working diligently with our partner to understand and resolve the issue or find workarounds to get items shipped. To help expedite orders where we can, we are making shipment arrangements through another partner warehouse. The setup there does not fully support our typical shipping process, so customers may receive multiple shipments but at no extra shipping cost to the recipient. Due to the high volume of orders, to the best of our understanding, we expect our partner to finish shipping all orders in the next few weeks. The current most accurate estimated shipping date is shown on the product detail page. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone. Rest assured, we have not forgotten about any and all existing orders and our teams are doing everything possible to expedite the process. As usual, anyone currently waiting for a shipment may review their order at any time by going to your transactions page here: https://drop.com/transactions Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions.
