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!)

Applying the App We know how important it is to have full, customizable control over your keymappings and lighting options. That's why we’ve built a Windows- and Mac-compatible configurator application for the SENSE75—complete with an easy-to-use interface that lets you quickly customize your keys and lighting. Future versions of the application will allow you to share your creations as well. Stating Our Case(s) Adding to the SENSE75’s luxurious sensory experience is a gorgeous case made from CNC-machined, aircraft-grade aluminum. The exceptional build quality is apparent, even from the closest angles. Inspect the precision-chamfered edges, and you’ll be hard pressed to find a sharp corner anywhere on this keyboard. For those looking for something brighter than our standard Nightfall version, we’re releasing a special edition of the SENSE75 finished with a white electrophoretic coating. This process, commonly used in fine jewelry, creates a stunning clean white look while building on the natural metallic luster of the aluminum case.
Turning the Knob When designing the SENSE75, it’s safe to say we left no knob unturned. Listening to community input, we knew our newest board would come equipped with a knob—and we took our time choosing the right one. We carefully analyzed over twenty different rotary encoders and debated the merits of each color, material, and finish. We settled on an aluminum knob with mountain knurling. This knurling pattern creates a very high-grip finish that requires a minimal amount of torque to spin. This is paired with the premium alps encoder that provides precision and a satisfying click as it rotates through each detent.
