too bad some of the leds are broken

yeah those are amazing

what switches?

blue

nice

how hard would it be to install new leds?

well too hard for me

but it's just resoldering i think

desoldering and resoldering

wish I could pay some paki to solder them for me tbh

lmaoo

how long have you had your ducky shine for

like 5 years now?

idk

holy shit

how are you still sane after using blues for 5 years

whats wrong with blues

i started hating them a year into them

love the tactile feel

my mother would disagree though

that tactility started feeling unnecessary for me

and i started hating the sound

so i just switched to reds

do you have any idea where I would be able to buy new keycaps and leds?

aliexpress

but basically most of them have a really shitty typeface

unless you're getting pbt

saw some anon post his keycaps after 2 years of use

practically melted tbh

lmao

that's what happens with most abs keycaps

if you don't care that much about backlighting you could just get a nice PBT set and just forget about the leds

just leave them shining underneath

yeah I might just do that

the colour doesnt match anyway with the rest of my setup

but there are way cheaper ones
