The left side of my very old G15 key board has lost the blue lights. I have no idea if I should umscrew the back of the case and try to replace the bulb ( or what ever light it has ).

Logitech will not answer the phone or email on my calls for help.

What should I buy , I need very strong back lighting ( My old eyes are not as good as they once were).

Thanks in advance for your great advice.

Do NOT buy any of the Corsair keyboards.

They look good and feel good.

However, the backlights burn out very quickly, leaving you with several dark keys. If you are under warranty, they will replace the keyboard which will burn out very quickly. This is my second Corsair and I am already losing lights for the second time. Have not called the company to see if they will send me a third or, being out of warranty, if ill be out of luck.

Razer Perhaps?

I used to have a G15 too. Now I'm using a Logitech G510s. It is similar to the G15 and has served me well, although it's still pretty new (a couple of years at most).

A few reviews are out there on the net regarding keyboards for games. Just google search it. Like this link to a review of keyboards that I found very informative when I was looking to replace mine.
