Title: Keyboards with terrible names
Post by: jamster on Tue, 24 February 2015, 09:24:48
The Royal Kludge thread reminded me of this board which I came across a couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps it's waterproof and is marketed towards teenage males. Can anyone top it for bad naming?

Cooler master is also a terrible name because that just makes you think OEM pc fans.

Monoprice is pretty terrible as a name but they make more than just keyboards. The 9433 doesn't even have a useful name.

WASD is also terrible. Nobody but gamers knows WTF that means, but they're not a maker of gaming boards.

Black Widow and Spyder are both terrible names because spiders.

Ducky Shine just sounds like a carwash for ducks.

NerD60 is just rubbing it in.

JD40 sounds like something you spray on hinges.

The Infinity is not infinite.

Basically everything sucks and we should all be ashamed I guess.

Truly Ergonomic....

The name itself is okay I guess, but they should have made sure it actually was "truly ergonomic" before attaching the name to it. What would they call the next, more ergonomic version? "Really Truly Totally Ergonomic, we're not kidding this time"?

Rosewill: I won't, but maybe Rosewill? Better than Will-rose I guess.

Personally I think "Pure" is a fine name for a fine board.

Lolita by itself is kinda funny, but I see that they have a model called "spyder". Which is highly unfortunate as "rock spider" is prison slang for paedophile.

Yep, I read a biography on Leopold II (the better known of the two Leopolds), the king took and colonised the Congo as a private holding, and set it up in a way that guaranteed the country would be a clusterf*ck for centuries to come.

Really can't stand the branding on most of these Chinese products, keyboard or not. They think that inventing a Western name /any name not in Chinese characters is cool. Usually it is not.

Lots of people in China nowadays learn English, and a good number DO have good English skills. It really annoys me that most Chinese businesses haven't learned the importance of good branding, and start patronizing professional writers and ad agencies to get their product right.

The Jizz, for instance, comes from Jizi - the two characters you see on their box. In Chinese that means Extremely Brainy. And no, it is not a good name for a gaming keyboard in Chinese either. It's a totally nerd name. I wouldn't have branded it Jizi in Chinese either.

Quote
(21 May 2004, Texas) Michael was an alcoholic. And not an ordinary alcoholic, but an alcoholic who liked to take his liquor, well, rectally. His wife said he was "addicted to enemas" and often used alcohol in this manner. The result was the same: inebriation.

The machine shop owner couldn't imbibe alcohol by mouth due to a painful throat ailment, so he elected to receive his favourite beverage via enema. And tonight, Michael was in for one hell of a party. Two 1.5 litre bottles of sherry, more than 100 fluid ounces, right up the old address!

When the rest of us have had enough, we either stop drinking or pass out. When Michael had had enough (and subsequently passed out) the alcohol remaining in his rectal cavity continued to be absorbed. The next morning, Michael was dead.

The 58-year-old did a pretty good job of embalming himself. According to toxicology reports, his blood alcohol level was 0.47%.

In order to qualify for a Darwin Award, a person must remove himself from the gene pool via an "astounding misapplication of judgment." Three litres of sherry up the butt can only be described as astounding. Unsurprisingly, his neighbors said they were surprised to learn of the incident.

You don't try to consume your food by putting it in your butt and letting them get absorbed, do you?

I think most people would not think of banggood as less than reputable... it's perfectly ok.

"Das Keyboard Silent"

Anyone who has ever used a keyboard knows it won't be anything close to silent! I'm guessing they had too many returns for that reason and re-branded it "Model S".

Razer's Blackwidow and Blackwidow Ultimate.

It's not a great keyboard to begin with, but they have some strange names for their products. Ouroboros. Tartarus. Why does it all have to be so greek?

I would have said that Razer's naming is pretty good from a branding perspective. They sound 'cool' to the target market (impressionable gamers) and are generally taken from various mythologies (Not just Greek- Naga is Indian, Anasai or whatever it is is African) or named after spiders.

Most, if not all, are from reptiles, and I think all are spiders/snakes. It goes along with what they have previously done, and would be a retarded thing to just suddenly stop it. IMO the naming system they have is better than most companies in the similar market, like Corsairs is a good naming technique in a technical sense, but has no appeal to the name, and logitechs as far as I can tell doesn't make much sense at all.
