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

▶ TALKS The talks were really interesting, especially for me not knowing a lot about mechanical keyboards (yet). I'm learning pretty fast working at Massdrop, but having heard the stories and everything else that the speakers had to say was immensely helpful. Here's a list of the speakers and what they spoke about:
▶ BOARDS & CAPS The event organizers said that there were around 300 boards, but even that was being conservative. I made sure to check out as much as possible, but between that and talking to everyone I could, it was difficult to take a close look at everything that was there. The picture below doesn't do the meetup justice!
▶ GIVEAWAYS All the sponsors of the event, including us of course, brought loads of stuff to give out to attendees. The majority of all who attended were able to walk away with something which was really great. We gave out a pair of Massdrop x AKG K7XX Audiophile Headphones, a GMK Plum keycap set, some Massdrop x NuForce IEMS, a couple gem artisan keycaps, a bunch of wooden wrist rests, and MORE keycaps! Here are some of the winners below:
▶ FUN EVENT FACTS · Attendees: 222 · Giveaway Items: 177 · Photo Booth Pics: 313 · Keyboards: +300 · Keycaps: Probably a billion, let's be honest.

Lastly (but certainly not leastly), a BIG shoutout to the event organizers and volunteers who put this event together. You could see the hard work they put in leading up to and during this meetup and we all had a blast as a result. Cannot wait until the next one, and the ones after that.
