So after my Roccat Ryos MK Pro mechanical keyboard failing twice, The first time in the was the LED on the "T" and the 2nd time it was the LED on a macro button.

The first Corsair K95 I had the numpad LED's failing and now this morning on my 2nd K95 I find the "V" key LED has flickered off and is now dead.

I just want a black mechanical keyboard, Preferably with red switches and zero LEDs, Do these exist ?

I would like a keyboard that looks like this but with zero LED's, red switches and all black if they exist, I have seen the ducky one without the LED but it has really cheap looking gloss keys, This one would be perfect minus the LEDs -

Yeah but the LEDs are known to be very prone to ESD so I'd rather no LEDs on the board at all.

Was watching a review on the new Corsair RGB and they said the same around prone to failure via ESD. Just ordered a K70 myself so fingers crossed!

Apparently, the new RGB has the LEDs in the switches themselves so removes ESD problem.

I bought a Filco majestouch ninja 2 and a plain black set of keys. I swapped over all the letter keys and left the rest so I could easily see where special characters were. I love the keyboard and swapping the keys forced me to learn touch typing. :D
