Have you tried to see if they will cover it under warranty? Who did you purchase from? This is such a well regarded board, it's shocking! *pun intended

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.

Instead of just asking to buy PCB you should explain the situation and see what they propose.

Awwwww man. Don't let it discourage you too much. If anything just use it as some great learning :

  1. Depending on the outcome with warranty and/or replacement parts you'll learn a lot about that company's ethics, customer care, etc.
  2. Metal cases have some risk of ESD

This may be an ignorant question, but do any custom keyboards come with a warranty? I would've thought that would only be applicable with large manufacturers. Local consumer protection law would still apply of course.

Yes many do come with warranty to basic components (at least). I think the GMMK Pro has a 2 year warranty?

gmmk pro is a large manufacturer. It's not "custom" per se.

The "warranty" is unwritten on the site.

So, the best thing that the OP could do would be to shoot out an e-mail on how their board died from ESD. Probably they can consider sending a PCB or something.
