Cherry MX Switch LED Replacement?

StandardToaster · November 8, 2015

So I screwed up a while back, and now the N key on my Logitech G710+ (Cherry MX Browns) doesn't light up anymore.

Is there a way to replace the LED?

You can purchase the switches online and you could replace them yourself but it would require some work.

This video should help you out.

It's not the switch; the LED is the only thing that isn't working. Otherwise, the N key is functioning normally.

Yes, I know but it is still the same process but you just have to unsolder the two small pins. This video shows the pins and also shows how to unsolder them.

Could you link me to somewhere where I could buy the LEDs (white) please?

Zealpc tends to have them. I bought a bunch of pink ones I was quite happy with. If you want the shape to match, you'd be looking for 1.8mm round leds.
