Title: A funny input device story(OT)
Post by: typo on Sat, 13 August 2016, 03:18:57
Once I was having trouble with a Steel Series product. I looked up their phone number on google. Turns out they were a block from me at the time. I could have just gone there. So I call, it rings many times...... A kid answers. I started telling him about my issue. He says hold on, and puts his hand over the phone i assume. He says hey Daryl, I did not know we have a phone, Do we have a phone here? I said apparently so buddy since you are on it! HAHAHAHA! I just remembered that story tonight when input devices have re-sparked my interest at the moment.

The only Steelseries product that I have had is a glass mouse pad that is 15 years old and still works great.

It was not about Steel Series Per Se. It humored me he asked if they had a Telephone while he was on it! That was about the gist of the company though. I found their mice to be very problematic in functionality. Like not working. So that might explain how dense the guy was to begin with. Perhaps others had better luck with their products. Apparently so.
