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...

The last occurrence of this kinda behaviour is in the thread for Focal Elex. After I clearly stated that I put the guy on my virtual Ignore List, he somehow managed to reply to one of my post.
I can buy a Focal headphone at my local store where I bought my speakers, my amp, several headphones and the list could go on. Do you think another customer keeping annoyingly telling me how stupid it is to buy an amp costing 4 000 $ would get evicted from the local store?
Why a guy in his self-centered virtual world thinks he can behave like that on Massdrop's website while he would not dare to do that in the not virtual local store?
When I'll say that is enough, I'll return to what I was doing before, e. g. buying audio gear only from the local store or used ones from those I know are taking good care of their audio gear. I guess extra dollars spent will be the price to pay for having a friendly buyer experience.
