Sometimes I regret living in Europe :(

My @system76 #Launch Lite keyboard got its LEDs killed by static discharge. It is covered under warranty, but I would have to cover the costs of shipping the keyboard to and from States, 130 USD one way, so 260 USD in total. It's basically a cost of almost two brand new keyboards. This sucks.

And I don't blame S76. It just sucks, that with all that globalization and advanced technology, we still don't really know how to ship small packages overseas cheap
