   Well, yesterday I spilled half a pint of water* into my keyboard, so I   
   had to disassemble the Durgod (which was a real bastard involving half a   
   dozen lolly sticks and four credit cards) to dry it out.   
      
   Before re-assembling it, I decided to risk flashing QMK, I have to say   
   it was one of the least friendly flashing processes of any device I've   
   ever done, but I got there in the end, without bricking it.   
      
   The end result is impressive, it now allows me to do all the things I   
   wished the Durgod customisation would have allowed at the time I bought   
   the keyboard, but turned out to not be pssible.  The customised "layers"   
   are all stored natively within the keyboard, not using any runtime o/s   
   driver.

   things to the PCB than even a sugary drink?
