So now all their peripherals will last 10 days out of warranty and customer support will be even more useless?

Sad.

That was my first thought as well :(

Never had such experience. Granted haven't used their stuff in a while anymore but the keyboards I had before did not break ever.

I had 2 K70's and 2 scimitars. The lights broke on the k70 twice and they just said tough shit the second time cause a warrantied k70 only gets 90 days of coverage and it broke a second time after ~120. And the scimitar got warrantied too and the second one at least lasted ~3 years. I've since sworn off everything Corsair

Interesting. I still have a super old K70 lying around that's fully functioning

How old? My first one would've been around 2015-2017. I forgot to mention it'd also occasionally double tap buttons too but it was near impossible to replicate.

4-5 years old for sure by now.

Damn i still have a k70 from 2012 or 2013 that works great

Gross. I’m expecting Drop to go downhill from here (they arguably did somewhat already in the Massdrop to Drop transition) and to see Corsair gamer puke advertised on their front page..

When you can’t beat them, buy them
