Black Spots on Keyboard

[OakShadow]

Hey there !

 

Recently I got a Razer BlackWidow Chroma V3 TKL and after a single day of it being out on my desk I started noticing some weird looking black spots on the right side of my keyboard. They are both on keys and the deck itself. I can make them go away by simply rubbing at them, which I did the first time but now they reappeared. Is it possible that the direct sunlight or temps above 30+ Celsius cause some sort of troubles to the paint job? Is this a defect worthy of using the warranty to get a new board? Is it even my fault? Never before have I seen this on a device, is like it has measles or something. My old board didn't have this and as far as I know they both have keys made of same type of plastic.

 

They were not there yesterday and I only use my keyboard shortly every evening. I also didn't spray anything around my desk, neither the first time nor this time + they appeared in the same part of the board as last time.

 

Thanks for reading,

Hope u have a better day than I do XD

That is indeed kinda weird, but are you sure you didn't even cough or sneeze close to it.

Maybe you have pets. They can also leave behind some 'residu'.

 

Because i don't think it would be something that would 'emit' from the plastic.

I have no pets and I haven t even been home till 2 hours ago. Same thing 1st time around, got it out, set it on desk and just went to sleep so I wake up next day to this.

No sneeze, no food nor drinks around, no dust-off. Nothing. The only possible explanation I see is some sort of "allergic reaction" from the keyboard, to the sun and summer temp. But that would indicate POOR painting treatment.

Looks like some kind of oil. Try wiping it with rubbing alcohol.

Yeah that looks like humidity or a sneeze.

Should I get it replaced or just store it in a dry container away from sunlight, like food ? :)) no fluid touch it, I can assure you of that. I can wipe away, did that already but it reappeared.

 

I d prefer not to wipe it every week like a diseases resurfacing

How long does it take? And was it the exact same pattern of spots?   

 

This 100% looks like it was splashed with something. It's on both he case and keycaps so that can't be a manufacturing defect, it clearly happened after assembly.

That's the thing, it was just fine when I got it out of the box.

 

I think it took around a week to reappear. Didn t take any photos the first time but is definitely same part of the board, keys and all.

Get a piece of paper and put it over it. As a lid.

If the paper is nasty you know its not the keyboard itself (which is higly unlikely btw, why we all stress towards an outside source).
