Is there a way to replace dead LEDs? Quite a few on my k70 have left me.

Desolder and solder new ones.

I recently replaced some key switches on my BlackWidow Stealth Ultimate. Had to remove the LEDs. Now waiting for new ones from ebay.

Your K70 RGB or non-RGB? If not RGB just get 2x3x4mm LEDs from ebay, just a few bucks, not familiar with RGB leds that fit mechs though.

Then all that's left is desoldering the faulty ones and soldering the new ones.

Out of all the non-standard bottom rows, Corsair is probably the hardest to find keycaps for. Your biggest problem is the 6.50u spacebar, most sets that include non-standards only come with 6.00u and 7.00u spacebars. The only place I know that offers Corsair's bottom row is Max keyboards, can take a look there.

Edit: seems like they only offer that option in their ABS sets.

Edit2: if you'd like more variety, can get Geekkey caps and order the 6.50u spacebar separately from Max keyboard. Geekkey sets include non-standard bottom row modifiers that fit corsair, minus the spacebar.

Thank you very much!! Will definitely check those out. In the corsair forums, they are putting out feelers for OEM made PBT doubleshot keycaps too but no idea when those will be out, or if they will even come out at all.

posted link a few pages back.. here you go

For users who are looking to try Gateron switches, but don't like 'zhuque' branding can consider the Magicforce 108

I'm currently using this model with Gateron Red for gaming it feels damn shiok.

LED you can choose between 'Ice Blue' and 'White'

Who in the right mind would downgrade to reds

The ducky zero is good for its $99 price. But the LED ver isnt. My LED died after a few months of usage and i had only set it to breathing.

been using ducky zero at work, so far so good as well
