Strange CM Storm finding
« on: Mon, 11 June 2012, 17:25:32 »
While putting new keys on my CM quick fire rapid, I noticed that the left windows switch and the left alt switch are mounted upside-down.

Is this normal?

I just checked and mine are the same way. That's weird I wonder why they did that? :confused:

Mine is the same way too. It doesnt matter as long as you're not soldering in LEDs, and if you were, you could just flip them around.

Single layer PCB, gotta make room for traces and jumpers. ;)

There is no right or wrong direction ... unless there are Costar-style stabilizers around the switch.

Not entirely that strange, my old Blackwidow Ultimate had ever blue switch upside down.

Yeah, this has been mentioned in the past. It has to do with the traces and such on the PCB like RickyJ mentioned. =)
