How do I fix dim LEDs on my Race?
« on: Tue, 21 February 2012, 02:57:24 »
So over the weekend I noticed some of the keys on my KBT Race were dimmer than most of the keys, specifically my Tab, Q, E, R, T, Y, U, Backspace, and Home keys. At first I thought my o-ring mod was blocking the LED lights, but it was the LED itself that was dim. What is causing the dimness and what can I do to fix this?

Was it like that from day one, or did those LED's get weaker over time?

I got it about two weeks ago and I only noticed the dimness in the last few days. They were definitely not like that last week or even after I did my o-ring mod. They have just been stationary on my desk, so they have not received any type of fall damage or been hit with anything. It's kind of a bummer, but the switches themselves are still fully operational.

Easily fixed!

Fix something just to do it all over again...I guess that's what science is right?

This is YOUR chance to be #100 in my poll:

http://geekhack.org/showthread.php?26781-Do-you-think-Ripster-is-the-1-Keyboard-Expert-on-Planet-Earth

Yes.

This was a quintuple post.

Why would you quadpost just to quinpost?

Also, considering I do not know every living being on the planet I cannot judge that you are the #1 expert as there may be somebody at Leopold/Filco/Topre that knows more. Therefore as I cannot comment in 100% certainty my vote stays neutral.
