Title: Vortex Pok3r Backlit LED hum sound!
Post by: fallenlordz on Fri, 11 December 2015, 20:43:45

Hey - just got a new Pok3r backlit (Black case - blue cherry mx) today from MechanicalKeyboards. 

Is it normal for it to have a small hum when the LED is turned on full brightness (highest setting)?  :-[

Anybody else have this issue?

Sounds light a power issue.

Hey, bud. I replied to you on Reddit as well, but I figured I'd throw this here in case anyone else was curious about it. There are a couple of videos here that explain it pretty well: https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/1yqek5/your_backlit_keyboard_uses_pwm_to_control_led/
