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!)

I didn't want to do this, but I'm about to give in and buy a Bluetooth dongle. I know this has been discussed a lot here, and I apologize for asking but I don't know how to search these discussions threads. My question is, which dongle have you had the best luck with? I have seen a few different ones posted here and am not sure which one to go with.
I also wanted to share a strange occurence I have had. I took my keyboard and tablet to a certain restaurant, and the keyboard simply would not connect to my tablet. I unpaired it and then couldn't even pair it. The only way I could get the keyboard to show up on the list of Bluetooth devices was to turn off Bluetooth on the tablet and then back on, and the keyboard would show up, but touching the connect button would give me some error about not being able to connect to the keyboard. I wouldn't even get the code prompt.
So I gave up and ate my meal, and then in the car I tried it again because I was thinking my keyboard had died or something. But in the car, it paired up the first time and connected just fine. I rebooted and everything and no problem. The following week I went back to the restaurant and the same problem happened. Is it possible there is something in that restaurant that is interfering with Bluetooth? The weird thing is that I also have a Bluetooth mouse and it has no problem at all.
Thanks.
