Hi everyone, first of all I apologise if this is not the correct section, but I couldn't figure out a more fitting one.
So, about a week ago a led on my keyboard, a Roccat Ryos Pro, died. I get that the first advice I would get is to get a replacement, but it won't be available since I bought it from Amazon.co.uk Warehouse (if there's some confusion here, the keyboard worked fine for several months before the led died).
I contacted the customer service and they told me they would give me a refund, but here's the problem: I'm from Italy and the process to buy a new one would be quite an expensive and long one. If anyone is courious about why I bought it from the UK instead of Italy, it's just because they didn't make an italian version with brown switches.
I then wrote to Roccat's customer services and they were so kind to give me the full specs of the leds which the keyboard use, and I'm willing to give soldering a shot, it seems pretty doable from the tutorials / posts I've seen.
The biggest problem now would be finding leds that would actually fit, in size, electrical, and lighting parameters.
If anybody has ideas on that it would be much appreciated, I can post the two pictures with the full parameters if that helps.
Thanks in advance to everyone that will try to help.
