Calling all mechanical keyboard fans! The first ever Mid-South meetup is being held in Nashville, TN this April. You'll have the opportunity to try just about every mechanical switch known to man in a wide array of configurations. Plenty of various key caps, boards and accessories will all be there for you to try all while talking with fellow members from Deskthority and GeekHack.

Highlights include: We are finalizing the details now. If you think you'll be able to attend, please RSVP by responding to this thread and say how many people will be attending.

Details
Date: Saturday, April 6th, 2013
Time: 10:00am
Location: TBA & MechanicalKeyboards.com

Proposed Agenda
10:00am - 12:00pm - General Meet-and-Greet
We'll meet at a local downtown resturant where we can eat, drink and be merry. Bring your favorite keyboard(s) to show-off and share. You'll be able to try out various different layouts and switch types and see how others have customized their boards.

Also scheduled to appear will be BossBorot's Ultimate Switch Tester Winter 2013 US Tour keyboard! :eek: This is a Filco TKL with virtually every Cherry MX switch imaginable. Everything from Green to Grey, Ergo Clears to Ghetto Reds. You'll have one-on-one time to see if your current switch is really your favorite.

12:00pm - 02:00pm - Visit Mechanical Keyboard Store
Load up and take a 20-minute drive out to Fairview, TN to visit Mechanical Keyboards. They aren't usually open on Saturdays, but ShakeR is opening up the store especially for us!

You'll also be able to purchase anything they have in stock at the time, including keyboards, key caps and accessories. Mechanical Keyboards is the US distributor for Ducky.

02:00pm - Till - Wrap Up In Nashville
After our visit to Fairview, we'll return to Nashville for everyone to grab their vehicles. If we haven't talked each other's ears off by then, we'll take the party elsewhere.

You need to clarify that date because April 9th is a Tuesday. I'm assuming April 6th?

Received confirmation from MechanicalKeyboards.com that they will open on Saturday specifically for DT/GH members that attend the meetup. So, if your from the Nashville, TN area, or willing to make a small road trip, I hope you're join us.

I know that DT is mostly EU oriented, but I still wanted to put it out there just in case.

DT/GH meetup? This can't end well. Consider the exclusive footage from the last meetup.
