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!)

However, when I wrote the above post, I'd noticed that aluminum cases were still being offered in a group buy (since that was the first link yielded by my google image search). Originally, I wrote that I might buy other parts to build a gherkin, but deleted that sentence because I didn't want to lard the post with too many links.

I might try one of those gherkin things if the key rows were offset, but that would make the width a key or so wider.
Or do you get used to the grid layout quickly?
