ya, normally i will just turn off. inb4 ah beng style.
warranty still under cover but i lazy to claim, worry there are charges and the matter of time.

yeah, should go for custom keycaps. maybe if i want something that can use to replace LED, maybe glow in the dark keycaps?
dont know if those exist.

Claim the warranty and sell that keyboard, and change to standard layout keyboard.
Time to get another keyboard.

i had claimed before this, worry there might be charges.

Under warranty, will not charge you.
It's their quality issue, if they wanna charge you.
Complain to their higher up.

No see any charges for second RMA.

cybertronDX thats the K70 for you...

glow in the dark keycaps do exist but they dont come cheap.. another way is to get glow in dark sticker

Every branded keyboard also got fail LED issue including Ducky.
LED life span is shorter. If rosak then replace it.

For SP's glow in the dark keycaps, refer

what i mean is one of the k70 batch has LED issues
but i do agree that ALL brand will have failed led issue. even mine came with a failed led and need to resolder myself

one thing im doubting is, reseller is the same as well? if yes, i might send it back to C-Zone tomorrow.

First time seeing such a thing from him? I think most of us see until used to it already lol.

taken at night with yellow light,,, that's why

time to buy table lamp?

I've posted before on the K70 dead led issue but you've always jumped in and brushed off the issue. Its obvious that the K70 has a really bad led problem with one local distributor/seller who just posted a 100% return rate. You keep saying that all brands have led issue which is totally untrue. Ducky shines do not have anywhere close to the K70 failure rate for led failures. The ducky leds last for years without issues. And you posted that leds are boring anyway and you can just turn it off when the leds die which is totally missing the point about getting and using an led keyboard in the first place. And not every mkb user should be expected to pick up a soldering iron when things go wrong. We buy things without the intention of them getting broken right away, that is in the case of the crappy k70.

Why do you keep defending Corsair on the led issue?

perhaps he confimed support CORSAIR till the end of the earths.

By the way, I'm not defending the Corsair issue.
And my Ducky Shine 2 do have such problems too which is dead LED.
There are forummer here with Ducky Shine 3 with LED failure too.
If you think your Ducky shine do not have such problem doesn't mean that other Ducky user do not have such problem.
Every part in the assembly have such defects per part millions issue. In fact the quality of material in LED impact on its life and performance.
And importantly, I don't think that K70 is crappy like you generalised in your statement.

Either Corsair use lauya LED or too high temperature to do soldering.
Even CMstorm, Razer, Ducky any other led keyboard will have the chance to die.
Just that Corsair is on the higher side.

I help people build keyboard,
some of them more than RM800, some RM1000+
The LED still dies. I just have to help them replace.

IMSTO , so nice. No regrets going directly to imsto instead of some lower tier pbt's, bought from dadueneverdies

Btw how do you make your mechanical keyboard signature?

lol, I wish. Just 1 set lah. Maybe.

pm me anytime

I made a mistake saying that the K70 had a 100% return rate, zhen^wei posted that 'almost all' unit sold were returned. While it may not be 100%, its pretty close and that makes it crappy. I like the design but the leds dying so soon makes it really bad.

Do you think its reasonable to say Ducky Shines even the cheap Zero shine has the same level of quality(or the same level of defects) as the k70? Because that is what I get from your posts, which sounds really odd. Why bring up defects per million parts when close to 100% of the k70 are soon to be defective right out of the box.
