    I have the Corsair K95 Platinum gaming keyboard

    I had noticed this on my keyboard. Namely the key 0 (zero). It has the "=" sign and the wrong closing bracket, namely } instead of the )

    Luckily I had contacted Corsair who said they are now dealing with this, and are sending me the correct replacement keycap

    Couldn't expect anything less really, since it's only a month old

    I have the same model I think, and it's the UK language layout like yours. It's probably a one-off mistake.

    I guess I will leave it as such, can't be arsed to get it changed. Also, I know what that key is, so again, no point changing it

    Maybe it will become a collectors' gem in a few years!

    Also, if you need to use the squiggly bracket (Curly braces) there's an alt command for that.

    Alt +125 or Alt +123

    Even better, maybe it will gain tremendous value, the way a slightly off -printed postage stamp does!

    If only it were upside-down! You’d be rich, as wealthy rare keyboard collectors pushed fistfuls of money at you!

    Could you pry it off and re-attach upside-down? I think EJLarson is onto something.

Thank you for the support!
