Guy bragging about how he got a BWU
« on: Mon, 22 July 2013, 22:45:28 »
I was at Microcenter a while ago checking out a QFR they had with black switches and comparing it to another board that had brown switches.

This guy walks in with his girlfriend talking about how he got the BWU and he was like, "It is THE best keyboard for gaming." I chuckled without thinking and he looked at the board I was checking out and he said, "It doesn't even click...that thing is so small..."

I almost bursted in laughter...

Didn't know what thread to put this in, but thought I would share a humorous story.

I came from a final and my phone died. I didn't want to whip out my phone and take a random picture of this couple. Dude looked like some typical COD jerk

Just waiting for some new member to pipe up with a story about how he just got his fantastic BWU, and some idiot was in that store looking at half-sized keyboards for like midget hands and laughed at his fantastic BWU.
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I found it amusing.
One time I overheard someone BS with another about his awesome BWU outside a 7-11. I looked, I smirked, and I walked away.

This is how Razer makes their money.

Make everything black and bright green with shiny plastic, using a "BE EPIC" marketing approach that is as likely to insult as to appeal to gamers. Then reap the reward.

Oh and every now and then they do actually make a good product.

****, drop $300 on Ducky and you don't even get a "thank you."

Which just tells you exactly how much money actually goes into a Razer product and how much goes into marketing. (Also that Ducky really should at least give us a damn sticker. They're like $0.15/ea in volume with no tooling costs!)

Unfortunately this is probably closer to the truth for many neckbeard geeks.

I'll admit that I kinda like the Razer experience, and that they've even managed to make one at all. When you buy expensive stuff from Razer you do get all the bells and whistles, when you buy an equally expensive mouse from Logitech you get nothing more than you would from the cheapest in terms of packaging and whatnot.
Basically, when I buy expensive **** I want to feel like I'm buying expensive ****, and Razer understands that.

Eh, my logitech mouse felt a lot better quality than my old deathadder did.  And I've only heard amazing things about logitech's customer service.

when I buy expensive **** I want to feel like I'm buying expensive ****, and Razer understands that.

I understand that. But honestly, I want to feel that way when using the product, not just through fancy packaging. It just does not appeal to me at all. But hey, maybe that is just me.

Oh, no doubt, Logitech mice usually feel and are rock solid, and their customer service is good, but I recently bought a G700s and there was no effort made to make it feel that expensive. Good mouse though, but I ended up returning it due to some damning flaws.

Not saying that the packaging is all that matters, but when I buy something expensive I want the packaging to make it feel right, not make me start thinking "oh man, I spent way too much on this". And I'm sure I'm not the only one here who likes the thrill when you get a brand new gizmo and get to open up the box and reveal all the goodies.

I see where you're coming from.  Though for me, often times I either just throw that stuff away or it sits in a corner and I never look at it again.

I just want everything to come in a cardboard box with no markings except the name of the product and a shortened url to a pdf or html manual in a plain font. The box should contain only the product and the product itself should be void of branding.

I want a product to do the task I'm purchasing it to do. I don't want it so I can get a fancy box or to get a "free" (you know damn well they work that into the price) shirt I'll never wear.

So basically you want Razer to tell you how to feel? :)  If you (generic "you") can't quite afford something and need packaging to make you feel good about your purchase and convince you that you've made the right choice, I think it was probably the wrong choice.  Look at Filcos--nothing flashy, expensive, no stickers, no LEDs, but you still know you got a damn good keyboard when you plug it in and use it. I'd rather see Razer invest more money into improving their hardware and software than dump money into marketing.  I've read through a hundred or so pages of the Razer Synapse software horror on OCN as well as Amazon reviews.  And their CS is really bad.  Combine that with poor QC on some items and long-term durability issues.  The "Razer Experience" is certainly a flashy way to draw your attention from all the flaws and make you pay more money for inferior products.

Yeah I also understand it. I mean, you would rather have it look nice than look crappy. But I am kind of a practical person. I like some of the clever easy to open minimalist packaging that some companies use more than the elaborate ones. I also feel that things like 3 year warranty gives me more faith in the product than packaging.

don't know why you would make a post about it.

Because then how could he brag about being such a 1337 keyboard master while putting down one of those filthy Razor buying, CoD playing, casuls? Obviously saying anything to the guy's face is not an option.

It's a shared opinion, just like you have strongly shared yours here, passing judgement and inserting labels.  That's what forums are about.

The new one, isn't so bad. The old one? Jesus, where to begin. Obnoxiously bright blue LED's which could be dimmed, but blue is just a gimmicky gamer thing in my eyes, and that glossy top plastic shell was a pitiful choice. The braiding on the cables that Razer uses is nice for one thing, no getting stuck on something, but how often are you moving a fullsized keyboard across your desk that it matters? The braiding was firm and didn't like to bend and the headphone and mic passthroughs (which I never used mind you) , the cable eventually snapped open due to the cheap sleeving. Other than those things, the board wasn't bad and all those issues, other than the braiding, have been revised on the 2013 model. Nice matte black top, green LED's which are less harsh on human eyes, and a refined driver make it a decent choice for a full mech board with macro abilities. Now if only they'd cut down the damn things profile (overall size). That's make it perfect.

Actually I really liked the Filco packaging, what I'd really like is to see that kind of packaging used by more brands, but I know that won't happen in a market as flashy as the PC market is. Logitech does it with some of their more energy-friendly mice, or at least used to.
But it's not going to catch on. What I want to see, basically, is effort. In every stage. If someone's not putting effort into the packaging, why should I think they've put any more effort and care into the product inside?
Effort doesn't mean it needs to be flashy and complicated, but that's more likely than simple and minimalistic, especially with the visual style Razer has established.

And as an anecdotal side note; I've got quite a few Razer mice, and the newer ones are on par with Logitech in most aspects. Yes, the Synapse software is annoying and unnecessary, but LGS isn't all smiles either. It's clunky, buggy and somewhat overkill if you're just buying a G400 or G100.
Only trouble I've had with Razer was the logo LED on a DA stop working a few years ago.
