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!)

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=90236.0 If either of those keyboards is a copy of the other, then why would the copy be the one for which the switches were designed? For that matter, why assume that intellectual property theft is involved at all?
Very interested in getting both keyboards and trying out both styles of switches. During the Day use the Blues but at Night, use the Reds ; )
After wasting my money on these type of keyboards I ALWAYS go back to my Model-M's and F's. Just so glad I have them in my life than a whole crate full of Havit's.
I'm the wrong person to get any support for the current made keyboards because nearly always, they lack real performance and joy when using them. The OLD keyboards have soul and this new keyboard 'junk' is exactly that.
If you like these very thin style of keyboards then there is nothing wrong with them, the one I bought which is a Daeru TKL version (same version with Blue switches), is fine to use.
The only good thing about them is the aluminium plate that gives it rigidity, so there is no flexing or movement of the keyboard casing when using it. With my hands and fingers pounding away at the keyboard it didn't buckle or strain.
