K70 RGB (Brown) Left Shift seems wobbly.

isdouble

Hey guys, I just received my K70 RGB Brown Switches yesterday and I had some time to play around with it.

I noticed that my Left Shift key seems a bit weaker and wobbly compared to all other switches.

All other switches seem solid when pressed and makes a "thud" noise when clicked but Left Shift key makes a spring-y noise and seems not as solid as other keys.

I tried switching the Left Shift key and the Right Shift Key (Right Shift Key is solid and good!), and the Right Shift Key becomes wobbly and weak.

So I assume that it's not the key cap but rather the 2 support of the MX switches are weak(?).

Unless I'm crazy and being overly sensitive, does anyone else have this issue?

I'm thinking of RMA-ing but Corsair told me it will take 2-3 weeks..

Don't forget to follow your topics :P

 

And yea, it probably is the stabilizers. Either way, to get it fixed you will have to RMA it. So I guess that means living with a scrub membrane keyboard for 2-3 weeks. Don't worry, you will survive..... but you won't come out the same.
