Issue with Huntsman TE Green Key with Phantom keyset in direct sun.

So, I found an issue with my Huntsman TE that I replaced the green keys with the Black Phantom keyset. At a recent race I was running timing at I found that in the later hours of the day when the sun shining in through the window in front of me onto the left side of the keyboard (laptop display was shadowing most of the keyboard), the ESC, ~, Tab and Caps lock keys were "self-activating" without a key press. I had to pull the keyboard off and switch to my Blackwidow Lite STE (I have the white phantom keyset on this one).

Has anyone else had an issue with optical keys in direct sunlight?

I want to share this to our devs too. Can you make a short clip showing this behavior? Save the files to any online drive account, then paste the link in your PM or submit a case here. I’ll be locking this thread now to divert our conversation privately.
