What happened to WASD keyboards?

Do you think this PCB would fix the “random reboot” issue on my V2B or do we think that problem lies elsewhere?

Wanted to just reiterate what others have said that I’m sad to learn of WASD’s fate. I’ve had two Code keyboards since their initial release (bought one for home and one for work) and they’ve been terrific. The only thing that actually made me go look up the company again was honestly that now that I work from home and my desk is in a different spot than before, I figured I’d try to switch to quieter keys and wanted to double-check the details.

I haven’t heard exactly what happened either, but I’m with you — it’s a real shame to see them disappear. They made some great keyboards and it feels weird not having them around anymore. Hopefully there’s some good news or someone brings something similar back.

I have couple of WASD keyboards - used but in new like condition if any one is interested to buy them. I also have a Shinobi keyboard, new condition unboxed only.

Do you guys know where to get new keycaps? I’ve got v2 and whites are yellowing

There are various solutions for plastic things that are yellowing. I would start with putting the keyboard out in the sun for two or three sunny days and see if that helps. It often does. If not, search the term “retrobrite” and consider if you want to go the UV route or even with stronger things involving hydrogen peroxide.

(I can’t provide much advice beyond this because, despite owning dozens of very yellow computers from the 1980s, I choose to live with it. That doesn’t mean I’m an aggressively perfectionist curator, it just means I’m lazy. :-))
