Expect keyboards in all shapes and sizes. If you're looking to try out something new, it is likely to be at this event. So come early and stay until close because there will be plenty of people to meet and plenty of keyboards to see.
There will also be food, beverages, and some GIVEAWAYS including some Massdrop products so you basically don't have a good reason not to go.
