Don’t be fooled by the photo! Every form factor from practical to impractical had representation

love this 

but can’t help remembering when hipsters wore the same lumberjack top

Those were the ones I came out for! 

Was looking at Corne the most, though hard to make an objective decision with 30 seconds of typing while standing lol

I saw a good amount of GMK freebie stickers though maybe it was just propaganda? The event was sponsored by Drop if that means anything.

Truthfully I didn’t take a good count of keycap makes, was instead looking at switches which in itself was very dizzying to keep up with!

Is GMK still all the rage or are people finally sick of high prices, 2 year waits and quality issues?

They were oddly cold yet felt more friendly than some metal keycaps I tried. Those just felt soulless!

ugh I have yet to attend a meetup! definitely need to soon to experience this chaos hahaha

I'm even more curious bout ceramic keycaps now

Give nerds a place to gather and surely they will come!

Had no idea this was a thing. I’ve used a split keyboard before. Weird at first but comfy after a bit.
