my WASD died!
« on: Tue, 13 December 2011, 01:52:30 »
Hi all,
 So My cat decided to give the cord a tug on Friday sending my WASD onto the floor. At first everything seemed fine until I hit the "Backspace" nd it did not work. Thinking it was just a minor issue I popped the cover to take a peek and to my dismay the connector from the main PCB(with the switches) to the usb controller was broken off on one end. :( I sent an email to WASD hoping they can sell me a new PCB for a reasonable price with no reply as of Monday night. I fear the board will cost as much as my KB itself. I just got it a few months ago, kinda sucks how god decided to "life crap" on me!


Just thought I would share

That's painful to hear. Hopefully WASD will understand and sell you a PCB for a good price.

She is a good cat however more a dog person myself. It is my fault, I usually hide the cables this time I did not. I will take it apart again and snap a few shots tomorrow to show the damage. Time to tend to the sick wife whom I got sick....Yeah, times are tough!

Must be a pretty strong cat... my WASD is heavy and sticks to my desk quite nicely thanks to its rubber feet.

I love my cats, but if they did that I would treat them like a P.O.W. and lock them in a cage followed by poking them with a stick and yelling

Mine still slides around a little bit. Know any remedies for this?

The most I have to fear at my current residence (for a few more days only, at least) is one of my roommates' four cats pissing all over everything. This is why the room with all of my stuff in it stays closed. I can't trust those cats.
