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!)

Q: Is the cable detachable?
A: No
Q: Is the backlight RGB?
A: No, it's "rainbow light", each row with a different static color.
Q: Is this price reasonable?
A: IMHO, no. You can get the same board on Amazon for $65 w/ free prime shipping and get it in 2 days, vs. waiting a month or more for this thing to ship. I am not linking to it, but you can easily find it on Amazon as "team wolf CIY keyboard", with choice of red / blue / brown switches. In fact, it's imported by several companies and may be listed under their own name.
I'm checking TeamWolf's Chinese website. I'm coming up blank.
I see the Zhuque TKL, the Zhuque 104, Void Storm 104, but the RGB version is "Void Ray CIY"

HOWEVER, it's messy in that there's also a NON-Swappable Void Ray II that's NOT RGB and not even Mechanical.
Beware, beware.
The only TKL in their inventory is the Zhuque, and it only comes in "mixed backlight" edition.
for people who want to see for themselves... teamwolf.cc is their website. It supposedly offers English website, but translation is sloppy and incomplete, with more than half of the stuff still in Chinese.
