autovfx Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 My daughter recently dumped an ENTIRE 30 oz cup of water into my k70 RGB, it was well hidden in the casing, I only saw a bit of wetness around the zxc keys, at the time I had no Idea what had happened. but I noticed the lighting was in a weird configuration random patterns etc were dimly flickering across the keyboard. I thought to myself whoa a little bit of water must have gotten to the bottom of one of the keys and messed with it so ill unplug it to be safe. *reaches to unplug* *pulls wire up* *grabs keyboard* and tilts it to the side whilst moving it.* I watch as what looks like a gallon of water comes streaming out of the keyboard soaking my floor The keyboard was top to bottom full of water. I thought it was a goner. 1 day later removed a couple screws aspirated the interior for the day and viola plug it back in after a couple seconds of weird colors here and there, the system cleared up before my eyes, (presumably what remnants of bits of water shorting out the 4 prongs on the individual keys dried out) and voila Full functionality I tested everything. the design on this beast is wicked. Ive never seen anything take a full glass (full submersion) of water with full power sit there for hours unnoticed and function as new when reassembled. Good job. Proud of my purchase -Auto:uzi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTinz Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 That's awesome. Aside from some odd creative choices, the K65 & 70 are amazing boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employee Corsair James Posted June 2, 2015 Corsair Employee Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm glad to hear that a potential catastrophe turned out to be a non-issue. Typically water will damage these keyboards due to the exposed PCB from the raised key design so its good to hear this wasn't the case for you!
