Perhaps you can return the cavity and get your money refunded?

eBay my friend, even with only a 80% chance of every LED working, you still get 1000 chinese LED's for the price of 10 local LED's

Can only agree here, you can often get ten+ times as many from china for the same price. Shipping might take longer but for me that's totally worth it.

So far I've counted and tested 500.  'haven't come across a dud yet but I must say that the packaging could have been better.  The LEDs came sealed in a static bag with a silica gel pouch.  This was then stuffed in a bubble mailer.  Some pins are bent but nothing that I can straighten out by hand.

Ordered and paid November 20.  It arrived December 19 but I waited until after the holidays to pick it up to avoid excessive duties from the customs collector :)) It worked.  I only had to pay the inspection fee PHP56 (~US$1.24).

When I said 80%, that was with my dealing with colored LEDs, maybe white ones will be more consistent.

I had about 3 different colored "green" LEDs and I'd say 80% of them were a consistent green. Not that 20% of them didn't work at all

I should have clarified more.

Here is a list of a whole bunch of 2x3x4mm rectangular LEDs.

A lot of us have ordered from 'colorfulplace888' and I know a couple people have ordered from 'goodbuy7888' as well.

The resistors depend on which ones you get.  Most of the white, blue, green LEDs will take the same resistors, but I think the red, orange and yellow will take a different resistor.  You will need to check for the specific LEDs you get...

Not yet, because I don't have any other sphericals besides the R4 SPH set, and I want to wait for the repair kit before I use those.

I have 23 Commando incoming, though, and R5 whenever that will be...

A little lighter weight than a Ducky, but very solid, with some nice touches I wish Ducky would adopt: rubberized tips on the rear flip-out feet, white cable to match body color, even a neat gadget that locks the USB cable onto the board to prevent accidental disconnects.  And it seems to be a Year of the Snake model.     Cherry profile keycaps, feel like pad-printed thin ABS.

It's a nice keyboard, I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for a decent full-size mechanical model.  Stabilizers seem to be Cherry plate-mount type.  I'll have to look, but I think they included some extra stabilizers in the box, along with a nifty Keycool branded double-ended cap puller, and the obligatory WASD replacement caps (lilac) and arrow keys (blue), plus a red Esc keycap.  Does anyone ever use these?

Typing on the keyboard now, definitely a keeper.  Not backlit, so I'll probably take this into the office, but this one was certainly worth getting it from China.

I'll use these on the 60% PCB from sprit's GB.  From my understanding, the resisters are built into the PCB or something.  I also want to try these on my Shine II to see if they're brighter than the stock LEDs. :cool:

I'd probably use something like this.

personally I live on the edge and pull a cable out of my computer PSU with 5V on it and just test LEDs with that

especially with those cheap chinese LEDs, if a little overcurrent kills them, they probably weren't going to last long anyways

[Photoelectric]

I've actually tried that with my TRiK PCB--it has a couple of non-LED holes that output 5V. The LED I inserted got so hot in such a short time, I nearly burned my fingers.  Not exaggerating.  I could feel the hot imprint on my thumb for a while.
