Title: CNET puts DAS, RK-9000 as top input devices in their holiday guide
Post by: muchadoaboutnothing on Mon, 15 November 2010, 16:19:02

So I was trolling CNET and look what I spotted (http://reviews.cnet.com/holiday-gift-guide/printers-peripherals/keyboards-mice/2727-32252_7-886-2.html?s=0):

Out of 6 keyboard recommendations (with the two mechanicals coming first), that's not bad.

Too bad the RK-9000 isn't going to be in stock until mid December. And who knows if it'll be on sale for $85 again.

He says Cherry isn't German, when in fact it is. Cherry is a division of ZF Electronics Corporation GmbH, which is in turn a division of ZF Friedrichshafen AG. ZF is a driveline and chassis technology company, which is weird, but indeed if you look at their divisions section, you see non-automotive section and then computer peripherals.

It doesn't have the bells and whistles of competitors like Das Keyboard

The Das has bells and whistles?

I hate Cnet and their script-blitz cookie-laden pages... that page shows blank on Chrome and Firefox, and then crashed IE8. Not that I care since Cnet's opinions generally suck IMO

I really enjoy mine at work. I have a filco with browns at home that feels nice, but doesn't give that same click. I really hope they get this back in stock soon. I have a couple of co-workers who really want one now.

So how exactly do you troll Cnet?

I meant the definition of trolling as the verb meaning (http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=troll) "(circulate, move around)".

Browsing, in layman's terms.

Yup, ZF builds many of the automatic transmissions used in BMW's, such as the Automatic E36 M3.

Germans know what is up.
