The first thing to blame on old electronics not working is often electrolytic caps. Even worse since this is capacitive sensing in itself.


Checking of capacitors a possible only if complete remove it.

I don’t know what exactly does not work there. I changed three converters.
The keyboard worked for 8 hours, and then stopped without any warning.

Ok, i sent a return request.

The converter is not responding to hid_listen therefore the converter is broken.

What kind of converter are you using? I don’t mean Soarer’s software running on it. But what hardware, and where physically.

5 times I disassembled and assembled the keyboard.
The ground wire was hooked to the right bolt holding the rear cover.

How can I check what doesn't work?
