Drop should have a dedicated community section for promoting keyboard meets. As someone new to the hobby, I'd love to attend one

If anyone is interested in attending future That Windy City Keyboard Meetups, hit me up, and I'll connect you to our discord community! It was so much fun to host the event for a second year, and to see so many new faces! Amazing panel discussions this year, and the raffle prizes were unbelievable! Great meetup, best one so far!

Meet ups are the best! It's nice to see boards that may not be as "popular" or ones that you don't usually see on Geekhack, Reddit, or on the popular keyboard discords (or other forums). DIY keebs, one-off projects, and just unique things in general at meet ups and then hearing the stories of the owners of why they created said project really makes the hobby more meaningful and fun.
It's always great to feel like you're a part of something, especially a community, and meet ups drive that point home!

HubertTheMadGreat point about the unique and DIY boards! The number of wacky and wild split/ergo/ortho boards on display at meetups is always impressive, and many of them are one-offs or very small runs. Easily one of my favorite categories to poke around and learn about at meets. :)
Beyond that, it turns out that people are my absolute favorite thing about this hobby, lol. Meetups are where the people are at!

How to sell things on Drop & How Drop charge them?
Hi , this Kyle from China. Since a month ago, my team wanted to build a brand to produce the high quality of mechanical keyboard and headset to sell aboard. Now we already got the license to do so, and we can't wait to bring our products to meet everyone. But the products are still in the period of designing, it would take some time :( There are some questions we can't find the ways to solve - how to sell keyboard on Drop, and the details about how Drop charge per product? - Actually I sent an email to Drop Studio for some questions, but I didn't receive the answer.( Drop Studio also mentioned that they can contact me only if they were interested in my design / products ). So I'm here ask for help. If anyone can answer my question, I would really appreciate it :)

Drop's vendor table at That Windy City Keeb Meet 2024 First off, if I ran into you at the meetup, it was great to meet you! I had a blast (as always) getting to know and reconnect with keyboard fanatics from all around the country. It never ceases to amaze me how many overlapping and interconnected hobbies we all share—certainly helps keep the conversations interesting as we veer off into retro gaming, photography, music, and anything else that comes up.
All eyes on the announcement podium for giveaways 🫡 We were joined at the vendor tables by Sneakbox, Switch Oddities, and Tactile Zine—all run by amazing individuals. I wish I had taken pictures of all of their setups to share here. The only one I have is of Tactile Zine showing off both their own product (the hand-made zines on the left of the image) and some retro or retro-inspired boards on the right (more added throughout the meet).
Just look at all the fun we're having! 👆 Photo credit PRIME And if you're still on the fence about attending, check out @ThereminGoatMK's write up on the subject, "Keyboard Meetups: It's More than the Boards!" Have you been to a keyboard meetup? Share your experience below!
