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!)

Mac Compatibility One of the biggest comments we hear from potential mechanical keyboard buyers is “these keycaps don’t work on a Mac”. Understandably, many Mac users like their CMD keys to say “CMD,” or their Option keys to say Option (instead of Meta, or Super, etc.) With our keycap releases, we’ll be offering a Mac Kit that provides a variety of different Mac system keys in different row/sizes to accommodate many different layouts. The Mac Kit will be available with most of the sets that we release.
The Profile Name There has been a lot of discussion about the name, with significant feedback from the community opposing the MT2 name. We've gone back to the drawing board and decided to rename the profile to "DCX (Drop Cylindrical X)". If you'd like to read more about the reasons behind the name change, see this post here.
What's Next? We're going to start accepting preorders for DCX keycaps on April 26th. Pricing for standard in-stock base kits will be $99, with a preorder price of $79 for the first production run. As with all of our preorders and Studio products, preorders are fully cancellable with no fees, and the product is eligible for no-hassle returns within 30 days of shipping. Samples will be shipped to popular reviewers, as well as select Drop Keyboard Club members later in May. (edit: Mistake in the poll. Will be updated and added back.)
