getoffmyswag Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 For the price I'm paying for this keyboard, I just wanted to make sure if it's gonna last me atleast a few years since I'm buying it in a few days. I've heard that some corsair keyboards tend to have failing LED. I've seen a few posts in where they show that some of their LED died within a few months. Does this still happen or have they fixed it already? (sorry if i sound paranoid lol) Thanks ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terabyte Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I've had the original K70 RGB almost since it was out, I've never had any issue with it so far and it's been years. Of course issues can always pop up, but they're not the majority. As for the LED issue you've heard about, I believe it was related to the K70 non-RGB with blue LEDs. A few years ago there were troubles with those blue LEDs used, but it has nothing to do with the RGB ones though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlepaulio Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I purchased the K65 RGB a couple of years ago and a few months ago the colours stopped displaying correctly on a number of keys. I'm currently waiting on files to do a hardware reset to hopefully remedy this as it's out of warrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While LED failures can happen, the keyboard is covered by a 2-year warranty, and will be replaced should they fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
