This is the one and only time I'll ever type, text, tweet, etc "dawgz". <- There it was. Sorry Das... no more left.

Contest limited to the United States.

But I am not a "dawg". I am a human.

And I don't tweet, because twitter is for twits.

remmeh · « **Reply #4 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 12:28:17 »

ugh that was painful to read.

I felt idiotic tweeting that but I did. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a free keyboard.

esoomenona · « **Reply #6 on:** Wed, 05 December 2012, 12:36:42 »

I was under the impression that Dawgz might be iMav's username or something... ?

I have some self-respect. No way in hell am I participating in this.

I purposely didn't sign up to twitter because I figure I don't need ANOTHER social media account to tell people about every details about my life. Facebook is already bad enough.

But yeah my first mechanical keyboard is a Das Keyboard. So I do like the brand except lately it feels like they're kind of following Razer's path in terms of marketing.

Twitter is for twits. Tweeter is for tweets.

Does one turn on their Hitter for heat?
Use a mitter for meat?
Use a nitter to be neat?

Well the last one could be true, I have had pants hemmed, or nitted before

But yes, the rest and this whole campaign are absurd.

I found a Facebook account useful for keeping with friends living overseas after I came back from Cambodia. Apart from that, I found it to be absolutely useless. No one has anything interesting or intelligent to say. So I stopped using it entirely. Twitter is even more useless.

HAHA,, don't worry smallfry, I still think you're clever...

Das is officially on our outcast list due to their oem change.

SmallFry · « **Reply #21 on:** Thu, 06 December 2012, 07:36:20 »

Thanks... lol

wetto · « **Reply #22 on:** Thu, 06 December 2012, 07:52:47 »

Jesus bloody Christ, this kind of makes me ashamed of having one of their keyboards.

Well, I loved how well made this Costar keyboard is, the Das design with USBs on the right side and their glossy finish is just retarded, but the keyboard itself is solid, and this is Costar's responsability... But now, if the best part of the keyboard (which was the quality due to its OEM) isn't there anymore...

Well, screw you Metadot. I'm surely not buying again any of your stuff.

Shadovved · « **Reply #23 on:** Thu, 06 December 2012, 08:04:54 »

Oh my!

I almost fell off my chair in an attempt to facepalm after I saw that email quote.......

Same here, they just removed the very reason why I bought a Das in the first place. And now I have to start explaining everytime someone asks about my Das Keyboard.

tp4tissue · « **Reply #25 on:** Thu, 06 December 2012, 16:48:19 »

I'll buy whatever, as long as it's made by Costar

What, they weren't already on there for denying it was iOne and not saying who it was they were switching to?
Has it even been confirmed it's iNOne?

Apparently there is a secret OEM that makes CM Storm TK and Logitech G710+, so if Das is made there then they weren't lying. But no one knows yet
