3 months into using my ducky shine 3, and the first LED blows out.
« on: Tue, 13 January 2015, 08:04:28 »
The number 9 key looks absolutely terrible now due to the blown LED bulb.

Is there any way to rectify this issue?

Not even sure if the store that I bought it from are willing to allow for an exchange due to that one bulb :(

There have been a lot of threads about blown LED's in ducky shine 3 boards lately. Perhaps they had a bad batch of LED's?

Good luck getting it fixed or replaced.

Either get it replaced by the store, or desolder and put in a new one. Isn't too hard

I feel your pain. I semi-recently got a Ducky Shine Mini, and the blue bulb on the L key doesn't consistently work. It drives me crazy, everything is a nice bluish-purple, except L which is glaringly red.  :mad:

If the keyboard is only 3 months old, it should still be covered by warranty.

Try to get it fixed or replaced by the shop before you even open it.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
