Drop Mech Keys Meetup - May 11th!
It's been a while since we've hosted a meetup at Drop. We want to change that, and are inviting folks to come hang out at our offices (Corsair HQ) in May! The Details Date: Saturday, May 11th Time: 1-5pm Location: Corsair HQ (Milpitas, CA) If you're interested in attending this event (or any future events!), please fill out the google form below. Attendance will need to be capped at roughly 30 attendees given the space (edit: we can accommodate a fair bit more than 30 - only mentioned this to manage expectations as this won't be a mega-event with hundreds; will lean more toward the "intimate" side of things, sub-100). https://forms.gle/3Q8fwCKp4hjkVdv18

What is the method of delivery for the haptic feedback? Is is a rotary-style motor or impulse unit like in most contemporary phones? Does it vibrate the PCB or the case? Can we get a look at the internals? Can we get a video demo? What switches are in the device? What is with the little display? What is with the tiny silver button? Do the little RGB tabs react to what's going on, or is it just doing whatever little RGB thing it's set to cycle through? Have I asked enough questions to get a badge of dishonor? Perhaps I can get a complimentary unit to explore and write up a review answering all my annoying questions for others?

Is there a way to get the colors darker I have a all black set up with red leds that can mimic the glow of the forges? But the very light colors would stand out way to much and be a bit of a eye sore unless I have the lights off in the room. Also would these be compatible with a msi keyboard

LOTR Keyboard with Hardcore keycaps?
Hello. Is there a way to get the DROP + THE LORD OF THE RINGS™ BLACK SPEECH KEYBOARD with only the HARDCORE BASE KIT keys? Without the English letters on it. I really want one but it would be awesome if it came with the hardcore kit installed. Thanks in advance!

What is SpaceFN and why you should give it a try
The SpaceFN concept - setting up your space key as a layer switch when held - is probably one of the most useful tweaks in the keyboard hobby. Let me explain how it works. My SpaceFN article on kbd.news made some rounds recently - quite surprisingly given the age of this concept. This piece you're reading is a condensed version of the full post. If you're left with unanswered questions, you'll most likely find the info you're looking for in the original write-up. On my imaginary top list of the most useful keyboard features, tweaks and hacks, SpaceFN would deserve a podium finish for sure. But what makes it so special? In short: SpaceFN is easy to implement, easy to learn, costs nothing, can be used with any keyboard, and can improve your productivity instantly. I will list its benefits below, but can state right at this point that the SpaceFN concept, setting up your space key as a layer switch when held, is clearly one of the most useful tweaks in the keyboard hobby....

Silent Holy Panda X?
I ordered some Holy Panda X switches, and I fell in love with them. They are a joy to type on. There's just one problem. The place that I use my keyboard to type the most is obviously at work, which is a problem if I want to use the Holy Panda X in the office around a whole bunch of people. I really don't want to torture my coworkers with the clack of these switches. I'd rather they still liked me. The good news is that, for me, the actuation of the Holy Panda X is the best part. I could take or leave the sound it makes; even if it is fantastic. Which leads me to my conundrum: is there another "silent" switch that feels similar to the Holy Panda X? Is there a piece I can remove from the Holy Panda X that would allow me to make them silent? Or am I going to have to wait and see if Drop will drop a Silent Holy Panda X for the in-office mech community?

I'm disappointed. To the people claiming mistakes are made and whatnot, it was no mistake that they tried pawning her off after for a shoddy $20 coupon - after they removed her opportunity to join the drop.
In an Amazon setting, that might be a more appropriate response, but I've seen drops that go for over 24w before reappearing again. And yes, I too try to be lenient with how I react to MassDrop, but this is ridiculous. The repeated emails get embarrassing. I started asking myself "This is a company that runs distro group buys for profit?! Fulfillment IS THEIR BUSINESS. They have ONE service."
They should have purchased the damned thing for her regular price and gave it to her for the advertised price they already sealed the deal for. A contract was proposed and accepted.
___________________ UPDATE / EDIT ___________________ I've seen the responses to the thread in reddit. I will resume purchases again.
It's concerning that the reddit thread was necessary for action. How does oversight on one of MassDrops's employees (meaning not a vendors fault) go so unchecked?
