Title: Upside down switches in Steelseries 6gv2
Post by: ownerer on Sun, 25 September 2011, 12:27:18

Just received a used 6gv2 When I took all the caps off to clean them, I noticed that two seemingly arbitrary switches were upside down. Has anyone else noticed this in same/other boards?

The upside down switch in this photo is the '7' key.

Same for me.

It was likely some manufacturing decision, to get the traces to route more nicely on the PCB.
