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...

Massdrop arranges a price point if they order X units of a product. They then indicate how much they can sell that product to their customers for (or set up a drop in Massdrop vernacular). Customers can decide whether they want in or not. After the drop has finished Massdrop finally knows how many units it will need and orders them from the manufacturer. Then you wait for the manuf. to ship the bulk order to Massdrop and for Massdrop to break up the bulk shipment and ship individual customers their purchase.
Depending on the item, it might not even have been manufactured at the time of the drop. Those take even longer.
