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!)

Here it is sporting a custom set I put together with keys from several different kits from the last Massdrop x Matt3o /dev/tty MT3 drop (https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-x-matt3o-devtty-custom-keycap-set):
Either of these seem like they'd make good starting boards, but a Unicomp recreation of the old IBM boards would be a good place to start too, and you could get started without having to wait for a drop. You can find them @ http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/category/UKBD.
Only thing I'd advise being aware of is that some switches can be *really* loud, so much so that they'd bother people sitting around you in an office setting. So stay on the quieter side if that's your use case.
