If you bought generic mechanical keyboard keyboard keys it might look a bit daft because the none mechanical keys obviously wont match. I would say the best thing to do would be to contact corsair and get a set of k90 keys, they might even do you a deal if you moan about the k60 keys abit.

If the color match isnt such a big deal you could get a set from mechanicalkeybaords.com they have duckys for $30 http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=70.

I have the K90 and most of my keys are turning very glossy. It almost seems as if there was some type of matte coating on them that has worn away. Not very happy about it but I'm not going to bother contacting Corsair because they never respond frown.gif

i contacted corsair and they told me that they want to replace it for a newer board. i'm guessing they have addressed this issue.

Doubt they fixed the issue.

Key wear happens.

It's just plastic.

Ducky lasered key.
