I don’t know if it would be covered. I did email them to see if they have anymore PCBs to purchase. Otherwise I’ll have to check mechmarket. Or just sell it and get out of this crazy hobby.

As far as I know only option is to replace PCB.

Yeah, think I will, to see if they have any leftover PCBs I could purchase to replace. This is like getting a mark on your new shoes when you were a kid on the first day you wore them.

Was just doing stuff around the house, then came back into the office and sat down. Touched the keyboard and got a zap. It immediately went out and the USB disconnect sound came from the computer. I unplugged it and waited a few minutes, then plugged it back in. Now no LEDs and the 7, Y, H, N column is out. Should've ordered a spare PCB.

Yeap. :( Just sat down and touched the side of the keyboard and zap.

Oh, got it. I know that a humidifier inside can help reduce static charge build up. I don't know if some keyboards are more prone to it than others, or if there is something you could do inside to help protect it. I know some PCBs including the one for the Space65 are supposed to have ESD protection. I was using a V2 Odin prior to this one and never had the shock problem.
