I was reading this post mostly to find out what someone could possibly mean by Keyboard Killer hehe. Im really intrigued now after readin what you posted, as well as the others. My only question and thought is: you said you did get a new MB...is it still happening..? Only thing i could think of is, not only do you have to worry about static, because my thought was that a big enough static charge to affect your KB would undboutedly affect the MB as a whole, as well as the components on it..like was the RAM still good..tried on a diff MB..(with a diff kb attatched hehe) The other thing that popped into my head was, KB`s also get their power from the MB (except wireless ones)..if the new KBs work with the new MB...its possible (??) that maybe there was a defect on it, and that maybe it short circuted your KB. If the puter works now with new KBs and new MB, id say send it to the manufacturer and say its possibly defective, and you may even get some reimbursement for the fried KBs.
Sorry for the pain...this problem is definately out there~!
