    When I switch the color of my touch controls and track mouse lights I get a few problems. One problem is if I switch them to white they actually look sort of greenish/blue, the keyboards lights are better. THe stealth buttons light doesnt even light up when I switch the colors to red...The light pipe has some dark spots and so does the space bar...

    Basically why I want to know is if this is a common problem and if you anyone has sent in there M15x to fix these minor issues. Im thinking if I send it in to repair the stealth mode i might as well tell them to fix these other issues and maybe even pay to switch to Skullcap design...

    some of the AlienFX colors are indeed a bit splotchy/messed up. mainly the light ones i think. nothing you can do about it.

    As for the dodgy light piping being blotchy... thats most likely because of the paint. On mine the paints overlaps and stops the light petruding.

    maybe you should call a different person. 500 for a piece of plastic is pretty stupid. Maybe that cs just didnt know what he/she was talking about.
