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...

There have been a lot of requests for a live Q&A session with Will Bright (https://www.massdrop.com/profile/Will), the Product Manager behind drops like the Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 6XX, Massdrop x AKG K7XX, original ErgoDox, and more. And with all the members that have asked to hear the new Massdrop Minimic in action, we wanted to give the community a chance to talk to Will this weekend.
We’ve created a Discord channel and a Twitch stream that anyone can join. See the details below.
