upside down switches
« on: Fri, 01 April 2011, 13:33:37 »
Took off keycap off my new blackwidow to see the cherry writing/embossing on the switch upside down. I read the GH wiki and saw that the hole in mx switches allows for LED mounting.
Is it razer's decision to mount the switches upside down (since the font is centered on the top half of the keys on blackwidows and this mounting would be good for the backlit blackwidow ultimate) or is it common practice to mount switches in such a fashion?

Are all of them upside down? Or just one?
