Is it normal for WSAD keys to fade so quick?

[borley]

Hi i got the QPAD MK-50 keyboard last week, first mechanical i have owned, anyway i have been using since Thursday and i wouldn't say i ahve used for more than 4 hours a day.
But the WASD keys look like they are dirty so tried cleaning with cotton wool bud but no change are they fading already?

No, probably just dirty? expensive keyboards like that are usually specially coated so they last for millions of keystrokes/ a decade without showing any wear and tear.

If you're unhappy you have 7 days to return under DSR and get a new one?

Likely cause is oil from your fingertips, I find the best way to clean the keys is to use Isopropenyl wipes to wipe the oils off once a week.

Had my G15 since god knows when, must be about 6 years, constant daily use - programming, gaming, all I do is sit on my computer and not one key has faded.

Well i look at a lot of adult sites
Nah i wouldn't return it if i was realy bothered i could repleace with the 4 orange keys you get.
The keyboard was £65 free next day postage because i linked my forum account and i got a free physical copy of Max Payne 3 which i sold on the auction place for £17 so after there fees £15 so keyboard for £50, not bad

You can always buy a new set of keycaps if you're lazy .
