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.
