Hi,

i run in a really strange problem with my Ergodox. After upgrading to a "better" 3,5mm cable[1] i got the error message, that the USB port is drawing too much power. After a few seconds, the computer freezes and i had to manually shut it down. After the second try, my pc won't power up. I had to change the power supply. With a no-name, cheap 3,5mm cable, there is no problem.

And my second problem is, that i have to replug the keyboard after a regular reboot, otherwise it won't register keystrokes.

Cheers

Is the new cable a TRRS? Sounds like it's only a TRS so is causing a short. It should have 3 black bands around it (sorry if this is babying you, had to check

))

Damn, you are right. I did not ckeck that... the fancy shiny connectors got me at first sight xD

Oh dear, not sure if that causes permanent damage - I hope not!

The keyboard and PC works fine, until now at least. 😃
