Machine socket missing pin holder
I’m building my corne keyboard and I noticed that one of the hot socket pin holders for the nice!nabo is missing. Am I fucked? Do I need this it says GRD so I’m assuming it’s the ground pin 😐 my other one is fine

That sounds frustrating! A missing pin holder on a hotswap socket, especially for a GRD (Ground) pin, is definitely an issue. All ground connections are essential for the keyboard to function correctly.
While the top B+ and B- pins on the nice!nano are intentionally left empty (only the bottom 12 pins on each column should have connections), all hotswap sockets on the PCB itself should be present and functional. If a hotswap socket for a GRD pin is physically missing a holder, it indicates a defect.
