I love how much this place keeps giving me the chills. Right now I've got Raspberry Pi 3 plugged in up on the bathroom sink, mech keyboard n mouse connected, wires strewn about the entire floor, working on various complex strings of code I havent the slightest of mastery in, yet somehow slowly rolling my vision into a reality, simultaneously working my hand to the bone coding my website and trying to start a company alone, 27k $ invested into huge levels of equipment essentially rendering my PC Room into my private Audio/Visual Studio, cameras laying around, various creative/custom projects I've been working on...and every single person I've met doesn't speak my language. You guys know. The language of creators, explorers, people who KNOW what is coming and what IS going to be a profit, not because of a greedy obsession with misleading or selling the "next hot ticket item" or to put it bluntly...a cheap ass gaming peripheral with no love put into it. People like you guys, people I wish I could meet and get a chance to work with, people like me...and so many others on Massdrop, we know what the future has in store because we know what we like. We know what we love. We know how to customize, optimize. To move laterally right past the typical "annual update crap product" and right towards the idea that "if I love this idea, I know how to make it happen and I'm glowing because no one else has done it and I KNOW it's gonna grab attention...I've encountered the specter of fate." And guys...I'm only 25, but I've got two beautiful daughters an eclectic bit of hobbies that somehow led me to being apart of this community and actually PARTICIPATING in it, and give back, innovate, and stop counting on others in my small ass town of Rodeo,CA to have any idea what I mean when I say "this industry is going to explode and you needa check out this site called. Massdrop..." and in that moment I'm horrified because I realize that I promote Massdrop before I do my own business, which is Custom PC Builds/Gaming &Home Theater Immersion and I'll refrain from naming my own domain because really...I'm realizing how much I want to be apart of this...phenomenon. I live really close to San Francisco (like minutes away) and my pops used to help run a company called Technical Equities, he's really showed me the ropes in the business work and it's hysterical because he used to buy companies and it would save entire portions of the industry, he showed me so much of what it takes to run a business and how to acquire the right contacts and what a merger does to a companies name...and here I am basically saying I wouldn't flinch at an opportunity to integrate my life's work (the work that feeds my babies) with such a wonderful thing like Massdrop. It's what the world needs. A place where consumers don't feel like cattle. They feel like homies that love the same cool stuff you do and wouldn't mind at aaaallll if it came at a nice price point! Recently got back into touch with an associate of mine who has a very...interesting line on PC parts imported from our favorite parts of the world. He's the owner of the company who runs VPN for Wells Fargo, got his business card and he's about to give me a key to the pc parts fairyland, and...I don't want to keep what I have to myself. I'd really like to talk to you guys, and I'd really find it paramount that we maybe arrange a meeting with my associate. Wouldn't waste your guys time. I love this community. And boy would I love to earn that Massdrop T-Shirt instead of just buying it. Sorry for the unconventional approach but after reading how much Massdrop begeinnings had to do with good old fashioned forums? I had to!

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...

Spin the Wheel of Power
You know the story. 3 rings to the Elven-kings. 7 to the Dwarf-lords. 9 to mortal men. And 1 to the Dark Lord. What will your fate be? Spin the Wheel of Power to see where you land on the ring of prizes. Regardless of the outcome, be sure to take a look at the Lord of the Rings collection after claiming your prize. You can spin the wheel a maximum of three times, but much like those who have worn the Ring of Power—there's no turning back after that button is clicked. How did the journey go for you? Share your spoils below.

Drop Keyboard Club Questions
Hello everyone! I'm looking to join DKC, but I have a few questions. The first day of November has already passed. Will I still get the coupon for November immediately after signing up today (Nov. 10)? What is the definition of Mechanical Keyboard products? Will the coupon apply to desk mats? I believe it should apply to everything listed under this category? For orders under $79, the coupon will be converted to a percentage discount. Will the percentage discount apply to all mechanical keyboard items in an entire order, or it can only be applied to a single mechanical keyboard item in the order? Thanks in advance!
