Bunny: "Your item should be with Cody, but he is busy, I will ask him later." Cody: "Bunny knows more about your order, I am not sure, I'll get him to update you." This is a great tactic for buying time, as it allays customers' anxieties (hey, at least ONE of the bosses replied me) and gets them to ease off for a few more days. I used to know a company that did this thing all the time. Boss #1 (on the phone to supplier): "Your payment cheque with boss #2, but he is overseas now, don't worry I will rush him for you." Boss #2 (on the phone to customer): "Your order is being handled by boss #1, he is currently on leave, it will be completed when he gets back." Padahal both bosses are sitting side by side in the same office. We called this tactic "Singgam Linggam". I try to avoid companies that set up two key men to play Singgam Linggam. It's better to deal with faceless entities where your support ticket can be answered interchangeably (e.g. Massdrop), or with companies where one guy is answerable to everything (e.g. Pexon). I only heard before bunnylake is a honor man. |

QUOTE(-Hzu- @ Feb 27 2016, 06:52 PM) from what i heard can still redeem the code to get the close beta rewards from the ubi shop think there was a cap and maybe even a gun skin. also closed beta qualify as a preorder, meaning they also get a hazmat suit skin. but i think you need to redeem the code before the 8th of march to qualify This post has been edited by Moogle Stiltzkin: Feb 27 2016, 07:10 PM |

I will do a major removal of the first page mainly on the recommendations.
Recommendations of keyboards will need update ASAP. This is one of the transformation for the club this year. And I need everyone help here, can you guys feedback about the things you don't like in this club? I'm looking for negative feedback. Feel free to reply, or pm me. Thanks. quovadis123 |

The only reason to buy it is because it comes with Gaterons by default. well, I'm not sure what is your definition of a great brand is, nor what is deemed as a great product by your standard, but I think not all brands are stagnant in their product development, there are those that makes mistakes, but willing to refine and fix those mistake to bring better products to the market That's what I wanted to know. Tempted to buy one just to do a review. Also, I'm not buying this at random, after getting recommendation to get this board, I did my fair share of researches on it and found that its offering vs price point is worth giving a try and thus decide to buy it QUOTE(dadudeneverabides @ Feb 27 2016, 03:50 AM) This is what I saw in most /r/mechanicalkeyboard forums and reviews, they suspect recent batches of mx blues are having production issue either due to cost cutting or QC problem.With all that said, it makes me ever more curious to find out myself QUOTE(ck.chunkeat @ Feb 27 2016, 10:00 AM) Eh, is that the only board with gaterons? Actually I do not know what other boards are currently offering Gateron switches, I only knew MagicForce 68 (from davey.havok's review), Varmilo, and Rantopad MXX courtesy of a member in the fb mechanical keyboard club.Do you have any other board that also uses gaterons in mind? Is it cheaper to get ready made board or diy our own gateron boards? With the availablity of boards made by computer peripherals company, and some with a friendly price tag like the rantopad, i think it is cheaper to get ready made board unless you intend to have your own one-and-only board, then it is a different story |

World’s First Analog Mechanical Keyboard
Here is a look at a very special mechanical keyboard that should be useful for driving games and other genres that demand higher degrees of control. QUOTE Analog inputs can send a variable signal, which changes depending on how far or hard something is pressed. Think of the analog sticks on your Xbox or PlayStation controller. They're called that, because they transmit an analog signal, which changes based on how far in any direction you move it. Now imagine that sort of sensitivity on a keyboard switch. |

Bunny: "Your item should be with Cody, but he is busy, I will ask him later." Cody: "Bunny knows more about your order, I am not sure, I'll get him to update you."

QUOTE(quovadis123 @ Feb 27 2016, 09:31 AM) Normal. You watch movie also saw those underlings protected their complacent and incompetent leader. The shitty whiteknights are the best part. One whole page of people defending CTRLalt, then one reply from cody/bunny. Those underlings at the end demand rewards also. Very good loyalty program. On top of that, too many personal commitment to be doing this. I doubt they get zero profit from this. I don't believe that shit at all. QUOTE(ck.chunkeat @ Feb 27 2016, 10:00 AM) Eh, is that the only board with gaterons? Wow. What's this taobao thing? Is it custom, or just standard? Any china-talking sifu wanna enlighten me? Do you have any other board that also uses gaterons in mind? Is it cheaper to get ready made board or diy our own gateron boards? Found this, the taobao conversion is 195, so I'm assuming the shipping charges and extra fees for conversion should be less than rm50?

QUOTE(rurushu @ Feb 28 2016, 09:47 PM) Not really sure because I've seen some older Cherry MX boards with lowered clicks, and some newer ones also with lower clicks. It's consistent across the same board (thank God), but when different boards of same age also slightly different feel. |

If not mistaken it is laser mouse's trait to have acceleration compared to optical this is possibly the future once controls are more accurate Im using Strix Claw and Kana v2, both also Optical... The Hololens is the one that i have been anticipating, wanting to play Pokemon or Yugioh like those in the animes the AR field Hololens' only competitor big G's Glass project macam back to drawing board already. Hope this doesnt mean Micro$ can take their own sweet time to fine tune this and took years to release it |
