Strange issue with Code keyboard

[rich1051414]

I have had my Code TKL V2B with clears for a while now, like 2 years, but I have a lot and switch between them, but recently I have been having a problem, when there is any EMF in the background, like if my cell phone gets a text message, someone turns on the microwave in the next room, I turn on the plasma ball, etc, the keyboard absolutely wigs out. Keys stick, lights flicker, the keyboard disconnects, then reconnects again.

It only does it when there is a lot of EMF noise near it, but I can't trigger it in any other way. I have tried with different USB cables but it makes no difference. I can even trigger it with a HV voltage multiplier module by letting it arc about 5 feet from the keyboard. I have never seen anything like this.

Anyone know what could be causing this behavior?

Right now it is serving as a wonderful EMF detector, but that's about it, since it will randomly wig out through the day as soon as some stray EMF hits it.

I remember seeing this behavior a long time ago, but it didn't happen often, so I am not sure if it has always had it or not, as I could have a new appliance or something triggering it now that I didn't have before.

Before you ask, it doesn't happen to any of my other keyboards, so it isn't my PC. I am certain the issue is internal to the Code keyboard.

IMO just contact WASD keyboards and demand them to fix it for you. I have never heard of such an issue and my first thought would be "somethings up with the grounding" so you could also check for dry solder joints on the ground pin(s) inside the keyboard.
