Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing well and will have a fun holiday season. I would like to announce that I am organizing a Northern California Mechanical Keyboard Meetup and you are all invited! Here are all of the relevant details:

Where: WASD Keyboards

Fremont, CA 94538
When: January 9th 2016 (1/9/16) Time: TBA (expect 11am-4 or 5pm)
Who: Everyone in NorCal with an interests in Mechanical Keyboards!
Why: Why not? Let’s have fun

What: Mechanical Keyboards, camaraderie, and a giveaway!

Thank you to WASD Keyboards for sponsoring the event by providing the venue. They have a wonderful space that they have offered to be used by the community for this meetup. They will also be providing a few large tables for people to use to display their keyboards on.

Just a city over is MAX Keyboards who will also be attending the meetup. They have let me know they will be providing prizes for a raffle that we will be doing! We will be raffling out 10 Falcon - 8 Programmable Keypads!

Just like at the most recent Southern California meetup, there will be a soldering/desoldering demonstration done by yours truly. I’m not the best, but I definitely feel proficient enough to solder and desolder a keyboard on my own. I will be bringing my own equipment and I have a PCB for individuals to practice soldering and desoldering. If anyone would like to assist me with this demonstration, they are more than welcome. I will also be going over spring swapping and switch lubing for anyone interested.

I invite anyone in the area with an interest in keyboards to attend if time permits them to. There will be plenty of clicking and clacking, and I’m sure some of you will want to show off collections. I hope to see y’all there

I will update this post as more information on the meetup is organized.

The So-Cal event went off without a hitch. Bummed I couldn't see the spring swapping and switch lubing but there is always next time.
If you live up North I suggest you try and make it, Manofinterests was a great host.

Will there be food, specifically, will Chipotle be catering?

[manofinterests]

Haha I'm still working out the details with food. I don't think Chipotle's expensive catering is in the budget, but it never hurts to ask  )
