Flicker

The flickering on the F'Keys would do my head in. Unless thats a software problem thats a big miss for me.

You mean in the video? I think that's a problem between the frequency of the LEDs and the frequency of the camera, which are not synced. I doubt it'll show up on the keyboard itself.

Perhaps Hilbert can confirm that or not.

Correct shutter-speed, it is the video / recording. You will not see flickering with your eyes.

Does that mean the brightness level of led keyboards is PWM controlled? I never thought about that. Better screens got rid of PWM because of flickering, but now the problem transferred to keyboards?

Does anyone know a seller that ships this item abroad?
I want one but can't find a single seller that will ship it to me.
As long as the kb itself and/or shipping fee isn't ridiculous.
I live in Singapore by the way (South East Asia, not China)

I've checked NCIX/Newegg/Amazon and they don't ship abroad.
