So we know with 100% accuracy who the guy is, but I wont post his info here. When I confronted them on their forum, they deleted my posts and put a 20 post requirement to post (LOL). So I made a new account (note the ID)...

Hi Brocaps,

We are welcome you to vietnamese Mechanical Keyboard community. But if you join us to sabotage, gossip about a particular person, you're not welcome. We know that you and k3kc are having some difficulties. Isn't it enough when you fought again him in geekhack an reddit? I think you're so childish.

Something like that. As far as I can tell they're in favor of it simply because it's cheaper. They seem to be ignoring the blatant drop in quality.

That's what I saw though, there's a pretty good chance I've missed something in the last 12 hours. That and my Vietnamese isn't nearly close to anything else I've got.

And honestly, if you're gonna look at it in just that aspect, I can see why. If you discount a moral compass, there's pretty much no reason to be opposed.

I still think that it's pretty lame that they're letting this guy do as he pleases.

I didn't know calling out a counterfeiter constituted gossip.  And "having difficulties" come on, he's ****ing stealing the work of another as part of a vendetta against Bro and to make a buck.  Not only that, but he trolls GH and brags about his countetfeits in Bro and Clack's threads, randomly on GH, and on Reddit.  Now who is childish?  You know this isn't about anything but your own selfishness and willingness to support a criminal.

We have some awesome Vieynamese members, but between you, pmh, alixinhzai, and duck_nuct, you're putting your countrymen in a bad light, something that's unfair to them.  Grow up and play by the rules, shiw you have integrity and honor.

Nice to see you, as a forum moderator and human, endorse theft.  I think you need to be banned here with that attitude.  Keep within your fakejerk.

Sure they like it. Doesn't mean you have to agree. You are a mod and the guy who run the forum. At least have some integrity and honor, for goodness sake. By giving him a sub forum just encourages this further. That does not instill a lot of confidence and trust in your community.

That's like saying you don't defend an art thief, you just wipe away his fingerprints and delete the security footage.

And K3 is waving the "personal bull****" all over your site.  How is it he's exempt?  Oh, that's right, you're hypocrites.

The vendor  obey the vietnamese law. We don't have the permission to ban them until the lawcourt send the document about stopping business. Brocap bring the personal information of an member and bullying on our community forum . That attitude is unacceptable and need to be banned.
I'm so sorry if our decision made you guys mad. But the situation between brocap and K3 should be solved personally. We aren't accept it public on our community forum

What a crock of ****.  You have to have legal documents to ban someone in vietnam? And that there are no copyright/IP law enforcement in Vietnam? Whatever.  Keep grasping at your lies, just do it there and not here.

I'm normally not one to say this, but I'd be surprised if the active people here wanted to see your contributions, meager as they might be, here anymore.

lol @ you dont have permission to ban him because hes not breaking the law. You know damn well you could ban him at any time for any reason, but you don't want to because you like what he's doing and you like being able to get his ****ty faux-clacks.

As many others have said, buzz-off back to your **** hole. You and your comrades supporting this clown will never be welcome here.

The first thing you need to clean up is k3's subforum. Don't you get it? This is not personal issue between Bro Caps and k3. Your fvcked up community supports counterfeit so now it's an issue between Bro Caps/clickclack and your community also.

tl;dr We like getting it for cheap and don't have ethics or a moral compass, so we won't ban them unless we absolutely have to, but we will ban the creator of the IP for calling out a thief. 

You don't need a court order to know this is wrong or against the law.  **** like this wouldn't fly on OTD, KBDMania, Deskthority, or KeyboardTalking.  If you want people to actually be willing to work with Vietnamese members on here, you can't support **** like this.

Anyways, as long as your friend continues his escapades, you can count on me doing what I need to do. K?

I'm absolutely nobody here, and I shouldn't be telling elders what to do, but seriously?

There's quite simple a way, from my perspective, to solve this.

Just let the vietnamese people support this idiot, Bro. You'll never be able to control what's happening on their forums, so just let them rot there. He won't get too far because he's just dumb. Let him earn his few bucks with his crap and just keep doing your good stuff. I know it's not easy to see something that's your creation to be openly counterfeited, but could you imagine how crazy would be if Louis Vitton suddenly decided to end all of the counterfeits there are out there? That's just impossible. You don't seem to need more marketing but his fakes are indeed bringing some extra attention to you, and that's a something positive you could take out of this situation.

Their trolling, flaming and bragging, just ignore it. They're too small and stupid.

Ignore it and take advantage of something that this retarded missed - the current market expansion. Improve your awesome work and everything should be fine. He'll eventually vanish and remain as a joke.

EDIT: I was about to PM this to Bro himself, but then I decided to share because I think we all should just ignore them from this point and beyond.

I'm absolutely nobody here, and I shouldn't be telling elders what to do, but seriously?

There's quite simple a way, from my perspective, to solve this.

Just let the vietnamese people support this idiot, Bro. You'll never be able to control what's happening on their forums, so just let them rot there. He won't get too far because he's just dumb. Let him earn his few bucks with his crap and just keep doing your good stuff. I know it's not easy to see something that's your creation to be openly counterfeited, but could you imagine how crazy would be if Louis Vitton suddenly decided to end all of the counterfeits there are out there? That's just impossible. You don't seem to need more marketing but his fakes are indeed bringing some extra attention to you, and that's a something positive you could take out of this situation.

Their trolling, flaming and bragging, just ignore it. They're too small and stupid.

Ignore it and take advantage of something that this retarded missed - the current market expansion. Improve your awesome work and everything should be fine. He'll eventually vanish and remain as a joke.

EDIT: I was about to PM this to Bro himself, but then I decided to share because I think we all should just ignore them from this point and beyond.


You are certainly not the person to be giving advice on how to act to anyone, but there are other threads for that.

I'm making another dumb post, this is my personal opinion, and not that of the GH staff, blah blah blah, I should probably just ignore this thread for the rest of time so that I don't get in trouble with the people higher up than me on staff. I just like to put my opinion out there.

KBtalking kept drugER and his crew around for longer than any other forum, just thought you'd like to know that.

They're not banning him because he hasn't broken their TOS, therefore there's no reason to ban him. K3 HAS broken GH's TOS, so that's why he's banned here, and also why the Vietnamese need a document saying he's infringing IP. This is something only Bro and CC can take care of. Flaming each other will not solve this problem. Chill the **** out. Pretty much all of the Vietnamese members are innocent. This includes PMH (as far as I can tell he's done nothing overly wrong other than get gifted a few of these).

There's also been a bit of a miscommunication. The Vietnamese aren't "praising" K3's work. They like his prices, and they're just kind of letting him stay around. Bro made an account and immedeately started flaming. This is a violation of their rules. When you combine this fact with the (very public) motive behind the posts, you get a banned, angry bro caps, who is left out of the know.

If a few members of GH suddenly started buying a fake KMAC, or a Duck Poker clone, then went to the Korean forums to justify it (in Korean) there would probably be a lot more harm done than intended. That's essentially what's happening here. Speaking of things members of GH are doing that they really shouldn't, stop flaming every Vietnamese member you see. It's pretty infuriating to me, and probably a few more people that they don't even get a say in the matter, because apparently they're all somehow involved.

Now, the real question I have for all of you: Will you keep extending this so it becomes an even more overblown problem than it already is, or will you let the people who are actually involved sort it out quietly?

Food for thought. I'm against the counterfeits, but I'm also feeling some negative things about how some GH members are reacting to this whole situation. It's a giant ****fest from everyone's side, though. No more from them than from us.

I don't completely understand your sentece and the final part sounded kinda aggressive to me, I'm not entirely sure about what you meant but that's ok though. I tried to give you a piece of advice because this entire situation won't take you anywhere.

Regardless, I'm quitting this thread because I already wasted too many words and time with this situation.

Your ego is so bloated, I am surprised you haven't popped and flown away. Don't act like you have been here forever, or that you are somehow the voice of wisdom... seriously, dude. Step back, and remove yourself from the topic.


I may run a business, but I am also a member here as much as anyone, and if I want to speak my mind about something that affect me personally, I will. Of course, I won't go overboard like you have in so many posts, but I will attempt to satisfy my point as maturely as I can (sometimes I am kind of drunk, and my tongue gets the better of me, im sorry).

IMO inaction is almost as bad as condoning it. Inaction says to the future counterfeiters that you wont do anything to stop them just like you didn't do anything to stop the current counterfeiter. Not only that, but you would start to get these fake keys poisoning the marketplace and sullying Bro's name and reputation for quality. For example, some cloned key is put up for sale by someone who got duped or didn't care and then an unsuspecting newbie scoops up it thinking he's getting a great deal. He gets the box and unwraps a pile of **** then swears off all of Bro's products thinking he makes trash.

BTW, Louis Vuitton does actively pursue counterfeiters, although its a little different due to how copyrights and trademarks work in the fashion industry. You can copyright a logo but not a design, which is why you see knock-offs that look just like the real thing except with stuff like "LN" on the side instead of "LV".

I heard a funny story a while ago. People around Asia buys fake things in order to sustain the western lifestyle , fake phone, fake bag, fake everything that is expensive. But when they do get money, they start buying the real deal and brag about it. Companies like Apple for example complains alot on counterfeits but do nothing about it. Because it benefits them in the long run.

That may be so, but when you're talking about small production runs that are limited due to manufacturing methods, that flys out the window.  That's like saying a counterfeit Katharina Fritsch increases the value of her work since more people are likely to buy her work when they can afford it.  It's just not true because she doesn't have a high production rate.  That sort of thing only works for manufacturers who can meet demand and whose demand does not greatly outstrip their supply at any price point.

You have some possibilities to act to counterfeit. Most unlikely is to turn it to a legit product, which means it is a fully licenced product supported by your company, upkeeping with your standards. Secondly is to allow it as a replica, which is cheaper, mostly of a lesser' quality but still licenced by your company. Last action is to Sue for copyright or whatever infringement the other party is committing. Inaction, as proposed by some, is never a solution. Inaction does more damage than good. If I've read the thread correctly then legal action is the choosen option, if that's correct, then I would like to give a word of advice, once given to me by my legal department: "Leave it to us now. You don't say another word to anyone involved in this case. Any remark can do more damage than you can imagine ".    (It was about a truck catching fire due to faulty manufacturing by the supplier, totally different situation, but still solid advice)

Not all Asians. I'd rather not carry anything than to carry a fake purse or smth.   :rolleyes:
I am in the same boat as you do. I rather be carrying unbranded stuff than a fake one. People can just see through me. Same with games or apps. I rather play indie games which I can afford or wait for those AAA titles to go on sale during Steam Winter sales. Otherwise, there are a lot of other games to keep me company, not that I have a lot of time. There's just too many legit things around that are cheap these days, I don't have to go with counterfeit stuff.
