Avariss Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi everyone! I got my K70 (blue switch, black model) two weeks ago. I noticed recently that my Esc and Ctrl keys on the left produce a spring sound everytime I tap on them. Other than that, those keys are functioning as they should be. I am wondering if this is something abnormal that I need to be concerned about since this is my first mechanical keyboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merranza Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I would also refer you to this thread: http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=132911 Blue switches are having a problem on their own (some switches not being really clicky and closer to brown switches). Your problem seems closer to the thread I started which Powerpuncher referred to but depending on your situation, you can find information in both of these threads.

That thread is for the RGB version of the blue switches, they are different and discontinued. He said he got the keyboard two weeks ago so most likely he does not have the RGB version but the normal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an issue that affects all types of switches it seems. On some it's more noticeable than on others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avariss Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Mine is the non-RGB version, yup. The condition is as Merranza described in the other thread: " it is not resonating a lot but it really feels like a metallic sound echoing after the switch hit the bottom". All keys are clicky as blue switches should be. So, do I just ignore it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it gives you sleepless nights, I'd RMA it :p Edit: Corsiar James tuned in: [Link] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
