I have a corsair strafe with mx browns, and I have been using the "rain" preset in cue since the day I got it over 2 years ago, and I just now noticed that one of my switches is missing its LED. is this possible to fix?

short answer no

long answer if you are able to find the switch for sale and able to get it off the Circuit board and re solder the new one on it may work/Not ,  if its just the led just deal with it or buy a new keyboard .

Sure, just open it up (keep in mind this will void your warranty according to the manufacturer) and solder in an LED.

OP would just have to install an LED (assuming the circuit board is set up correctly), he really doesn't have to install an entire new switch.

 

If OP has the equipment, this will only cost a dollar or so to install and will.only take an hour or so. This is not a reason to get a new keyboard for (IMO).

over 2 years hes got no warranty so hes SOL , its either try to fix it him self or buy a new one , unless corsair fixes it for free i dont see this happening
