Love the Odin V2. Have the e-white myself but that blue looks really good.

Just to follow up, I did reflash the board but didn't fix the problem. I e-mailed Graystudio and they are supposed to be sending me a new PCB.

Thanks for the link and direction. I was able to flash the firmware but unfortunately it did not work to fix the LEDs or the column that is out. :(

Means electrostatic discharge. So when static electricity builds up on you and you get a shock when you touch the door handle or a light switch. I've gotten zapped when touching a keyboard in the past but never had this happen where it was damaged.

Yes, I'm going to be examining closely when I take it apart.

Thanks for the tip. I will try that if I get another PCB.

I didn’t know I was “launching a negative campaign” by posting about my problem here. I thought it was just my bad luck. But others have apparently had the same problem with this board. I’d say that’s a relevant discussion to have in a mechanical keyboard community.

Yep learned my lesson.

Yeah that’s true. Long as I don’t shock it again. So many others saying this is still a problem with this new version of the board makes me worry that even if I replace the PCB it will happen again.

It’s the Novelkeys collab with Random Frank P.

Yes I did use all the layers.

Yeah I’ve been thinking of doing exactly that. Just kills me cause I love the board otherwise. Ugh.

Yeah I’m hoping it was just bad luck because I love the board and hope I can fix it or get a new PCB (hopefully without this issue).

Thanks for the info and I will try that. I did use all the sheets and foam. The cable is an Anker cable.

Yeah I’d heard that with their previous boards but was hoping they’d fixed it. Guess not. :(

Oh that’s great, thanks. Don’t have a forwarder and can’t read their site so will have to dig into this more.

I’d never bought a spare before but now I see the wisdom in it!

Yes I remember reading about that with one of the previous versions but thought it was fixed.

No, didn’t think to do that, but not sure how with this board.

Yes I used the thin film and the foam.

Yeah, makes me question why I’m spending the money. Need to find a new hobby.

The port has a little opening where it exits and probably does have a connection to the case. But otherwise as you said it is isolated from the case.

Yeah, I don’t know why it was so sensitive. I wonder if I made a mistake during assembly.

Yes, I used all of it during assembly.
