I have a Ducky Shine keyboard that I just snapped off the stem of the Escape keyswitch, with the stem still stuck in the keycap.
I am totally willing to pop this keyboard open and solder on a replacement switch, but if I install a switch without an LED (say, a cherry Clear with the pre-installed internal diode (not LED) from a donor Cherry POS keyboard), will there be any issues with the function? I don't really know much about keyboard hardware and firmware, so don't know if this switch NOT having an actual LED will be an issue with operation.
While we are discussing, does anyone know where I can just order a replacement switch (MX brown with LED) if I need to? Tried WAS keyboards, didn't see any with LED's.
Thanks!
