Oh that actually helped really much. I just found Candykeys, who has the Freebird75 ready for preorders, which is both budget friendly and nice!

Mechmerlin posts weekly YouTube summaries of all groupbuys, he's amazing

Incoming QK75 opening this month or next.
Info about upcoming GBs are usually in discord so I agree, hard to find info.
And KBDfans arent always going to have the ones you are looking for as they go to different vendors.

Yeah that makes sense. I should probably look into some designers. Actually I visited Geekhack once, but I just thought "surely nobody uses this old website", but thanks for the clarification. Will bookmark that website.

You'll obviously struggle with finding open group buys if you don't know where to look for them. It also doesn't help that lost of keyboard group buys are very limited in time and quantity.
Geekhack is where most keyboard and keycap interest checks (IC) and group buys (GB) are announced. It's an ugly old forum but it's the preferred hobbyist place for posting and keeping up with upcoming projects. This is the best place to keep yourself informed about all kinds of projects.

Thank you for the tips! Turns out looking at KBDFans isn't the best option.

You may also want to check out Mech Merlin on YouTube who has a weekly group buy round up.
Also, just keep up to date on Geekhack.org

Mode Sonnet is in GB currently and its an exploded 75%.
You can use a couple of tools to look at current group buys and up coming group buys but I dont think they have everything that is out/coming out.

Make Glorious deal with it. Obviously a defective product, I don't give a shit if that keyboard is out of warranty they should fix anyways. They overcharge enough on accessories and shit to take care of their customers.

If it's under warranty, I'd just contact Glorious and get it RMA'd, as you seem to have tried all the things they will ask you to do. Be prepared though... they won't believe you, and they will ask you to record videos of you doing all this stuff before they will do the honorable thing.

Update - so I believe the issue is with the number row and something is wrong with the PCB. If I use per key and set the qwerty row on it's own I can get whatever color I want out of it. It's only once I try to involve the number row it becomes... wonky. It's as if the number row is interacting poorly with the row below it and causing the messed up colors. It's a shame but I guess I'm just going to deal with it.

Me too, I already tried everything I can think of including the suggestion below of manually updating the firmware and I'm getting nowhere. If nothing works I'm just not gonna use RGB anymore I guess. I'm not sending this thing in it's got so much work done to it that I don't feel like redoing

Very strange behavior for sure. I haven’t a clue what could be going on but I’m curious to see if anyone else has some suggestions or pointers.
