fake clack discussion

[esoomenona]

this is why we should have stopped inflated clack prices earlier.

now the people faking them will also fake his sig in addition to photoshop

Didn't you just try to buy a Julysicle for $100, but couldn't because you couldn't afford it?

[Tym]

I'm sure there are 2 different keys there :3 One with round corners and one with sharp, or am I missing something ? 

A yeah, it is called photoshop

Moose clearly edited the photos to show that we can't be save purchasing CCs anymore even if they show us pic of the bottom.

Clearly edited?

Well thats a damn good edit because they look like different keys to me :3

(Safe*)

That's right. Now the site has an even bigger ****storm on its hands. These fake CCs are simply a manifestation of all the greed displayed by some individuals on this site.

On the contrary, I do.

I just don't try to act like I'm not the one trying to buy them at these prices.

Those individuals being the ones making the fakes...

...and the people who bought real CCs at retail prices and resold them for tremendous profits.

That's basic economics, not greed.

There was a geekhacker here that acquired one from Dan(without Dans knowledge) to clone. Forgot what his screen name was. Something with pork in it I think.

Everyone understand economics, but the concept of greed seems to escape you. Yes, it is basic economics, but we're talking about reselling $20 items for $$$ to community members. That's greed.

[hashbaz]

guys, hey GUYS guys hey

DO NOT start arguing about Clack economics in here.  Let's talk about fakes and artistic integrity, etc.

One doesn't necessarily negate or not include the other.

...'community members' get clacks at pretty low prices/retail more often than not becasue they are 'community members' and people help them out as much as they can... random people who post on a forum who are willing to pay silly amounts for a single cap get what they want at a price they are happy to pay...

what ever though, can't have an off topic chat even in a thread without an OP

[hashbaz]

We've just had this discussion many times before, in many threads, in many subfora, and people disagree fundamentally on it.

Please drop.

[paicrai]

can we limit the personal attacks here. If you guys have an issue, please work it out via PM.

love you

[Fire Brand]

Not sure if its been said before but this would be a great topic for the next podcast

Also the fakes are very well done, just a shame its on something such as this, well maybe they will stop this and make something of their own, hopefully we have a silver lining and the person/people making this create their own product

[fohat.digs]

The time and effort that went into making a counterfeit could have produced something new and interesting.

As a buckling spring user, I am kind of indifferent to Cherry gear, but I would love to see new and interesting designs, also in Alps.

Why doesn't somebody make cool symbols, Refresh comes to mind, along with really nice decorative 3D arrows, just for a start.

I hope I haven't... But as my collection mainly consists only out of clacks, the chance is very low.

[Dubsgalore]

I m really sorry man, after seeing it on my Poker2, I have got to decide to keep it…

[Puddsy]

I mean, you guys saw this coming, right?

Y'all are buying these things for hundreds of dollars, and you don't expect someone to come along and fake them for easy cash?

That's just my 2 cents, I really hate to get involved.

[LONGZILLA]

I mean, you guys saw this coming, right?

First page, alone there are 3 mentions of fakes being inevitable, so yes.

So whats the way to tell them apart? The stem side will be different?

well so far real CC's have a "CF" branding on the bottom of the clack.

Maybe it would be interesting to know, if they make other none copy cat products.

now that im paranoid and at home, im looking at my clacks and i see my oktoberfest doesn't have the CF on the bottom
it has a FXE branding though...

It's legit, mate.

[ComradeSniper]

From my personal experience, FXE is usually on MX clacks and CF is usually on Topre.

ah ok lol
the oktober is my only MX cap.

[eyesmiles]

What I linked CC when I realized the"Ice Blue" I received was fake. What I pointed out was but a few as CC pointed out even more justfrom the images I showed him. I have even more respect for CC seeing how much he knows every nook and cranny of his art.

[nubbinator]

Wow, how many of these things are making the rounds? So far Bunny, MKUltra, and now you, eyesmiles, have all come forward as having received one.

Q: What's the difference between FXESC and Clack Factory? CFK?
A: FXESC is the name and hub for all of my artistic pursuits so the Clack Factory would be under and a part of that as a specific pursuit of my keyboard related work. As for CFK, it's Clack Factory Keys, or someones favorite fast food chain backwards. =P

From CC's FAQ.  Something that everybody should read.

[HPE1000]

Yeah, beating a dead horse, this is not of any surprise and I am actually shocked it took this long for this to happen. Such a shame

[kmiller8]

I'm so sad I missed the drama ;_;

My$.02

kudos to the guy who copied it, as stated elsewhere he could have just as easily copied the bottom as he did the top. The fact he made it so obvious that they're fakes shows he did this just to rustle jimmies. And rustle them he did. If you guys should be mad at anyone it's yourselves, coveting these things like they're ****ing pieces of gold, sure they're nice, but not nice enough to give away hundreds of $$$ in stuff to trade for what amounts to a $20 piece of plastic. That's your own fault.

Also, I'm the one who made these. Just to prove a point OuO

[Sifo]

I confess, I made them.

When they first sell they are $20, and that is in a lotto.  However their market price is much higher.  Supply/demand etc.
