Seattle Meet Up Summer 2017
« on: Sun, 02 July 2017, 13:48:22 »
Hey guys :3 cKeys is hosting our third Seattle mechanical keyboard meetup on the 22nd of this month! We already have over 100 people who have RSVPed (thankies thankies bunches!) and we have even more keyboards to touch this time around! If you're planning to attend and bring a keyboard (or a few), please RSVP using this link: https://ckeys.org/events/smkmeetup/ You must must MUST RSVP if you plan to bring a board! If you try to enter without having filled out this form, it's no bueno!

The meet up will be taking place at the Living Computer Museum in SODO Seattle. Please know that if you don't RSVP and bring a keyboard, the cost of entry into the museum itself is $12.00. The event will go from 1:30pm to 4:30pm but we also have a few speakers attending who will be doing Q&A panels. You might recognize some of them! The panels will go from 11:00am to 1:00pm and here's the lineup:

Aproximate Start Time | Speaker | Topic
---|---|----
11:00 | /u/BingeCaps | Artisan Keycaps and casting
11:25 | /u/Evangs | Small keyboards and keyboard design
11:50 | /u/jchan94 | Running groupbuys and organizing small-scale manufacturing
12:15 | /u/thebeephaha | Designing for non-enthusiasts and large-scale manufacturing
12:40 | Q&A panel |

Top Clack and MechMerlin are going to be livestreaming and will record the talks for all to watch, but for those who can attend, you should! We will be having giveaways between talks ;)

This meet up will also have our biggest giveaway to date! Check out the list of sponsors: https://ckeys.org/events/smkmeetup/#sponsors

More details about giveaway prizes will be posted in the coming weeks as we get closer to the meet up. Your RSVP is your entry into the giveaway! If you don't RSVP, you won't be entered (so you should bring a keyboard and RSVP). If you need to change your RSVP, you can update it later.

I'm looking forward to seeing you there!

Haha, well if that's the case, I will see what will happen in terms of streaming. I think it will most likely be on Twitch though, not Skype.

TopClack is actually a skype session between the 3 hosts, that is then livestreamed to twitch. We'll be doing something a little similar.

I'll try my best to post the meetup video by Wednesday, July 26th. The talks will probably be posted earlier.

Is it only me, or are you nervous (or even annoyed) when people come by and pick up your 50-pound custom Korean aluminum keyboard, without asking?  I would hate to see any metal-on-metal action.  Then again, I saw someone shoved two keyboards (one of them was aluminum) into a backpack with no protection :eek:

I did my fair share of picking up without asking. I normally ask though, I think I was just not all there because of all the activity. But to my credit I am super careful cuz I know how much these things cost. I try to support it more with my right so my ring doesn't scratch any.

It's where each table kept their keyboards after the meetup.

JK JK. They are exhaust vents for the Korean barbecue.

So instead of enjoying the fact that people came together from all sorts of places to enjoy keyboards (which is what we're all here for in the first place), you're going to complain that the picture link is from reddit.

Great sense of community you have there.

I generally hate all keycaps. Keycaps are for poofs. Real men touchtype on stems. Non-functional artisans are awesome, I use them for the ESC key ... escape is for cowards anyways, real men go frontal assault.

Can you just keep your salt out of here? People are trying to discuss the Seattle meet up. Complain somewhere else about reddit.
