Ducky Shine light bleed through on the back of keys...

Thread Starter 
Just got my ducky shine in the mail and I'm in love...almost. I know its not a major issue but there is considerable bleed through on the back of many of the keys and I'm not talking about the little dot from the manufacturing process. With the leds on high it looks like red overspray on the back of at least 15 keys. For what this board costs I was surprised by this bleed through. Is this normal and if not what are my options? My order# is 100000825

You might want to provide pictures. If what I'm reading from your posts is correct, it would probably seem normal (see picture below).

Most/all of the duckies have bleed through on the back of the keys. Pretty common issue.

I thought it was part of the design of the keyboard to really emphasize on the "Shine". However, it was shown to have that backlighting bleed from pictures way before they were even available for sale. A lot of the backlit mech keyboards have this "issue" as well though, due to the design of the LEDs and keycaps.

It's not the bleeding from under the keys, I expected that. The bleeding I'm referring to is coming THROUGH the back of the keys. With the backlighting set high it looks similar to overspray on a car. Small grainy specs of light. Its an inconsistency in build quality I suppose because its only on maybe 1/3 of the keys. Here is a pic of what I'm talking about.

450

The key on the right is normal with only a little pin hole of light. The other two represent the problem I am referring to. Even the green "wasd" keys that came with the board are like that. Worse because the light not only bleeds from the back but also the from the top around the letters and the sides.
