Clack Info Thread

[HPE1000]

I don't know if anyone else did, but I made sure to screenshot the picture/post on OTD last night. The post is no longer there on OTD and pmh has openly admitted that the CC are fake, as well as making it sound like his "friend" is making fake brobots too....

yeah, 356CL, 356.2, 356CL DGE and Koala is hard to find.

have 100 EA of 356CL DGE, 356.2 have around 60 EA, 60EA of Koala standard version and 5-6 EA special version with Brass bar.

I don't know how many EA of 356CL but i think it's not over 30EA.

How is your friend doing, you know, the one making the fake clacks for you?

It's a gift from one of my friend, i will hold it for my keyboard.

If he made more CC or BB, i will buy more color for my keyboard. I don't care official or not, i care only his quality of keycap and detail of logo.

So hard to get more CC a longtime so i need something for replace. But All CCs i was sell or traded on GH is OFFICIAL, Naasfu and T2russo was receivered, you can request us to verify.

That translucent purple though....


I mean, translucent purple........

I am conflicted as to how I should feel about this. Sorry CC :(

edit: no no, I know it's wrong. It's just that ice purple, that **** threw me for a loop, made me question my integrity.

[nubbinator]

Knew they were fake.  Well, he just got himself self banned by Clack and Bro and added to my do not deal with and advise people not to deal with list.

Whatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt

[bueller]

That makes my blood boil. Clack doesn't deserve this ****, **** those damn people.

[riotonthebay]

I'm curious to know if they will be intended to be easily identifiable as fake. I disagree with this regardless, but less so if the intent isn't to deceive -- those who actually care about the art and craftsmanship will simply steer clear.

[Belfong]

But how can you tell? These will be sold through the Internet and possibly through potato pix. Lots of people are going to fall into this unknowingly! Grrrrr!!!!

Yeah i'm wondering if they've got the bottom stamps cloned too, hope not.

Possibly in a similar vein, I am curious as to why the fake clacks so far do not have the "FXC"/"CF" imprint on the underside. It seems like the easiest way to create fake clack would be to create a silicon mold of the clack, which should take into account this feature. I also have never used silicone molds before, so I am probably missing something.

Or maybe they had a shred of conscience and deliberately not put it there.

Oh right, who am I bluffing.

Wow. And there is some kind of mark on the bottom that I cannot see clearly in those pics.

EDIT: He even did the "envelope sketch" as the banner.

It's either a K3 or KC

[skcheng]

No BroBot fakes.   Honestly, I'm not expert, but they look pretty much like my real  ( I think?? ) Clacks.

wait until the day a brocap worth hundreds of dollar on the market, there will be, sure will, I guarantee it

[Fire Brand]

The plot thickens I hope someone has informed CC about this :x

I'm sure many of us have pm'd him and hopefully someone has a direct way to get a hold of him.

It's a K3. It's easier to make out using the Yellow pictures.

He's been made aware.

I'm sure he always knows.

The watchful eyes of CC never strays us from us

It's easy to tell. They say "K3" on the bottom. Clack always signs his work with CF. And something else...can't remember the other mark Clack uses.

Do you really think that should excuse this? By adding a 'k3' on the bottom?

[CPTBadAss]

Did I say that I thought it excused it? I just said that's the mark that they used. I don't agree with counterfeiting if that's what you're trying to say.

Thank you.

No, it's ****ty and reprehensible. I am glad however that they're easily identifiable.

Agreed. I had an immediate sigh of relief when I saw that this trash was at least identifiable.

That's true. But still, there's going to be a boatload of these out in the wild soon. Hopefully the word can get out to the unsuspecting buyer.

[Alex92]

Well...they have a Facebook page too...and they have a fake Drunken Skull. I wonder if this can be easily shut down.

[bueller]

Hopefully the majority respect Clack's wishes and don't buy these pieces of ****. Seriously, buying this stuff is a slap in the face to him.

[Fire Brand]

Not being funny or anything but could we all agree not to post links to the site, or things related as its free advertising for them something we don't want to do at all :/

Also I think most people who want to buy a clack will hopefully know they are not the real deal :s

Fine line between "helping" him advertise and warning people. I think he has proved he is going to advertise all over GH anyhow.

That is interesting, I don't think I have seen a double shot fake clack before.

[bazh]

turn out to be some Vietnamese *******, what the ****

Yeah this!!! Don't do it guys!!!

[nubbinator]

Not trying to sound xenophobic or rascist, but damn, it's getting to the point where I'm getting afraid to deal with our Vietnamese and Chinese users for fear of **** like this.

[bazh]

I'm Vietnamese and I'm agree with you

[Puddsy]

I did some investigating with my Korean forum buddies.

They're pretty confident about who is behind this.

He has a GH account, but I won't release it here. It's not that hard to find, though.

Is it a new person or an established member?

[GL1TCH3D]

Well that's good to know that there are already fakes. I wonder if they'll come out for brobots and others. *is new and doesn't want to get scammed*

Good on you. Always ask for pictures of the underside and you should be fine

Actually, I missed a bunch of posts from yesterday. Looks like he came to us.

Stay frosty though, the Koreans are having none of this.
