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!)

- To create an even smoother and more refined feel than the Holy Panda
- To have factory-applied lubricant that is great out of the box, but leaves room for improvement by dedicated enthusiasts.
- To create a switch that Quakemz, Invyr, and Mech27 (the Holy Panda’s original contributors) would all agree is an improvement over the original
- To create a switch that delivers more consistency than the Frankenstein-assembled Holy Panda
While there have been many replica and clone “panda” switches released since the original Panda and Holy Panda, none of them have formally involved or directly compensated the designers for their groundbreaking work. With the creation of Holy Panda X, these three creators will receive royalties for their contributions to the intellectual property of the switch.Here's a force curve of the original Holy Panda as sold on Drop.com. In coming days, we'll release more details about the modifications and the final force curve comparisons.
