Title: Elite Keyboards Site Outage?
Post by: erricrice on Fri, 27 August 2010, 22:43:13

This happening for anyone else, or is it just me?

Did they shut down or is it just an outage?

Same here.

I hope they didn't disappear off the face of the earth because I just gave them my money for a board earlier today!

FYI, http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

I have this search aliased to 'down' in Opera so I can just point the browser at "down example.com" before I go to ask others. :P

I checked around the usual suspects but I didn't find anything pointing to your site that is recent enough.

It seems the launch of the Razer BlackWidow has brought the mechanical keyboard scene lots of attention from the average consumer. Though Google Trends thinks mechanical keyboards are hot right now.

I hope you get the business that comes with it. I'm sure this is just the beginning.

Good to see you're not shutting down, I was worried for a second.  A new topre may soon be on my credit bill...
