Drop Mech Keys Meetup Recap - Thanks for Visiting!
As you may have seen, we just hosted our first meetup in quite a while here at Drop HQ (Corsair HQ, but they seem to like us enough :) )! It was a blast to get to meet so many enthusiasts local to the bay area—it had been 10 years since I was last hanging out with keyboard nerds in the bay, at KeyCon 2014. We had a great time hosting everyone at the offices, checking out all the very nice boards y'all brought, and sharing some of our own projects/spaces! I knew it would be fun to host in the Game Room when I first saw it in person, but seeing it come to fruition was still so cool. Alright, I'll stop blabbering on now. xD Picture time! (Oh, real quick - there will be more of these! Stay tuned for more info and to catch the next one!)

For myself, I've begun to hate sculptured of any type. My experiences with that were trying to get Modern Selectric to fit a JD45. That was an exercise in frustration. After that, I like SA for the looks (though the height does limit), and for function DSA, though I do like the uniform R3 Dangerzone, but most appear not to be inclined that way when making SA keysets.
I waffled on Chocolatier for a while, but the fact that it was sculptured SA (and the long lead time) led me to pass (I'm sure that will be a regret later).
What are others' favorite profile for look and for use? Any assumptions that I have made that are wrong?
