Post by: berserkfan on Tue, 02 June 2015, 13:56:02

Price is 1200 yuan which is about $200.

Just 5 keys.

$40 per key and you can’t fit a brobot on it.

Oh well, some geeks like weird things...


OK, for the sake of barbarians who can't read the FAQ, here is my translation:

Okay, you're making jokes about this KB's high price—but that's because those buttons are labeled in Chinese and you don't realize what they actually do (buh ha ha!!).

If I gave you my mental translation of what they were saying in the text of the ad, you would laugh even more.

Well, I happen to know that one of them summons all the spokesmodels within a 2000' radius. And that's just one of them.

Basically here is my translation.

Q2: is it hard to use? How do I use this?
My answer: There are only 5 freaking keys and they are labelled Buy, Sell, etc. I learned how to read these characters before I was 10. Are you a foreign barbarian?

Q4: Can I make a lot of money with this thing?
MA: No, but I [the seller] can. By selling it to you.

Q5: I see that others have a 3 key model. Why can't I have a 3 key model too?
MA: I [the seller] have given you 2 extra free keys and you are still whining?

Q6: Can several people use this at the same time?
MA: Yes, if you want to buy and sell the same thing at the same time.


百问百答


2, 问：请问这个机器安装复杂么？怎么使用？

   答：安装起来非常简单，最复杂的地方我们已经替您解决了，您只要插上主机就能使用，到时候我会教您简单的设置下快捷键就可以了。

4, 问：这个机器真的这么神奇，可以赚大钱？

   答：呵呵，真正能赚钱的还是您自己专业独到的眼光和熟练的操作，机器只是个输出设备方便您下单的，我只能说它能帮您快速下单，保证硬件通畅

5，问：我看到人家店里是用三个键的，为什么我的不可以？

   答：根据软件的不同，我们专门做了几款不同键数的机器，也是为了方便你们更好的使用，相信我给您推荐的就是为您的期货软量身订做的一款机器

6，问：请问这个机器可以几个人同时使用吗？

   答：不好意思，这样是不可以的，因为机器只是个输出设备无法自动识别，下单是可以的，但是平仓的时候就分不清要平哪一个，会出现混乱的，建议一个子账户一台机器一个人一对一的使用

I don't think this is that much crazier than people buying Topre numpads for > $100.
