hi guys. are there any other quick fire rapid-i users here? i've been using it for about 9-10 months. no doubt, it's a good keyboard, but 3 weeks after using it, some of the leds on the keys died but the keys work just fine. i dont really mind cuz i turn the leds off most of the time. but now what annoys me is that the backspace key, delete key, and the right arrow key have all stopped working. however the leds are still alive rclxub.gif

what is happening right here? i tried "turning it off and on again" by plugging and unplugging to another different usb port but it doesn't fix the problem

so now i suspect is mechanical keyboard failure... i bought this through a seller in lelong so i guess i'll just claim warranty :/

just sharing my thoughts to those who plan to purchase this model of keyboard. extremely faulty, having a lot of issues on LEDs (gosh i didn't know this until i googled AFTER the leds on my keyboard died so fast)

The LED and key switches generally work independent to each other, so one faulty should not affect another, except if there's some electrical failure or overloading occur due to that.

As for dead of multiple switches spontaneously, generally it isn't a good sign, may be involving electrical failure of components or controller. But if you are adventurous and like to DIY, can always try to open up the case then take a look at the PCB, sometimes it do tell something. Occasionally there might be switched which badly/forgotten to solder, which may explain the premature dead of certain switches.
