The K70 is probably sensitive to being hot-plugged. If you open it up you'll probably find it has (1) chip. ... and it probably isn't well protected. More likely than not hot-plugging the keyboard is what damaged it. The other possibility is ESD; which also has the potential for damaging any uncased board like the PineA64, or the Raspberry PI... for that matter.
But two things: 1) plugging a $120 keyboard into an open SBC is insane; and 2) blaming keyboard damage on the engineering efforst of the Pine team is no fair, especially without proper testing nor corroboration.
