2 nice!nanos died in a year
Just a bit of data for folks; no real question here. I got the corne keyboard that's on the typeractive.xyz front page - hypersonic keycaps, choc reds, nice!view and nice!nano v2's, aluminum case, etc.
I got it last January. It's been great for the most part but when I got it, one of the rows didn't work and I had to get one of the nice!nanos replaced as a column died within a month.
Since replacing, it's been fine. I use it as my primary keyboard at work (and it's a lot of fun) but now in Nov. another nice!nano just died (middle row) and I had to replace it again. I did several diagnosis steps: (1) there were no shorts on the board, (2) I swapped the nano from the other KB half and it received inputs from the PCB just fine, and (3) I swapped the no-solder pins between the sides with no change in functionality.
I use a case when I transport the corne, and most of the time they're in a temperature controlled office building - nothin' crazy going on.
I've had a great time using this, it's a beautiful conversation starter and fun to use. I just have to wonder whether I should just stock an extra nano in reserve for when another one blows out.
