    I've got an OCD with my Alienware FX esc key lighting zones on my M11x keyboards.

    It all started with my R1 first keyboard that had an LED poking out from below the esc key that just blinded you when ever it was used like a tactical light on BF3, needless to say I got the keyboard swapped out and I was happy. BUT....

    Now I have my R3 I've noticed that comparing the 3 LED keyboards I've own on M11x all of the esc keys seem to have problems displaying the exact alienFX colour. Like yellow is a bit orange, light blue can look a bit purple, white looks a bit pink.

    Now as I've owned 3 you'd think this is a problem on more than just mine? Anyone else got an annoying little esc key from hell?

    I've noticed this too :( Oh well. It bothered me for over a week and then I just ignored my keyboard (like I typically do) or turned it off for battery.

    after a while mine is just a tad dimmer, same with space key, rest if fine... i am no specialist but it seems close enough to go unnoticed and this is coming form a man who is annoyed by the smallest smudges on the screen.
