any1 knows if Ducky shine 3 has any known issue with LEDs not lighting up? my first customer @tekkok just got his kb and 3 LEDs not functioning. doesnt seem to be widespread, AFAIK, but good reputation Ducky having this sort of problem seems to be weird, imo...
Further more, Shine 3 assembled in Taiwan where QC supposed to be higher than Zero series assembled in China..
Just posting here while waiting distributor reply.. any help is much appreciated
weilung,
You should think in another way.
Actually, the keyboard is designed by Ducky, but manufactured in sub-con..
Sub-con sourced the manufacturing parts from other factory and vendors like usb cables,
LED, plastics caps, frame, Cherry keyswitch etc with the agreement of Ducky company.
The Quality control are controlled by sub-con QC engineers and resident engineer from Ducky.
The Ducky keyboard is in good QC, but not necessary LED parts are in tip top condition. Maybe just barely pass the QC in the home LED factory.
Every part have the defects per part million %, not all are perfect. So, some LED will fail too.
Not really true that QC in China is lower than Taiwan, but for sure the parts used in Taiwan definitely expensive than China.
