    SmittyShmee got a reaction from Kombatant in Gamers Nexus alleges LMG has insufficient ethics and integrity   
    re: benchmark errors,

    Im not entirely convinced here. Can there be human error? of course. But they could just as easily have gotten discrepancies that others didn't. Since most reviews for <new product here> all drop within minutes of each other, its not like they can compare against others to see that their numbers were off. Its not like Steve was in their lab watching everything they did, how can he say for certain there are faults? Simply saying "my testing shows..." isn't good enough. The silicon lottery is real.
     
    That said, they _could_ post follow up videos after the fact when they see that there _appears_ to be data issues and then compare against other reviewers.
     
    If Steve's assertion that speed is a factor in the above though, there may not be time to go back and see if there are data errors compared to the community... which adds to his other assertion, if LTT is trying to position itself as a data-integrity/accuracy place with Labs, the onus is on LTT to ensure there are no errors or are as few as is reasonably possible in their findings.

    The part where it is alleged LTT auctioned off a prototype water block they promised to return is troubling. That requires an official response.

    You can replace switched but it would take some soldering experience. It would be best to contact corsair and see if they will replace it. This is, of course, after cleaning it just to make sure.

    I would first take all the caps off then clean everything, maybe something in/on those keys is getting stuck. If that doesn't work I would say if your keyboard is still within the warranty period, just RMA it. Otherwise I'm not experienced in switch replacement so I can't help you there.
