CNET puts DAS, RK-9000 as top input devices in their holiday guide
« on: Mon, 15 November 2010, 16:19:02 »
So I was trolling CNET and look what I spotted:



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

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 "(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.
