Keyboards with terrible names
« on: Tue, 24 February 2015, 09:24:48 »
The Royal Kludge thread reminded me of this board which I came across a couple of weeks ago.

Perhaps it's waterproof and is marketed towards teenage males. Can anyone top it for bad naming?

Kul is pretty bad too. Also means something terrible in another language.
Cooler master is also a terrible name because that just makes you think OEM pc fans.
Leopold makes me think of a leotard or some kind of weird royalty.
Blackwidow why would you name your keyboard after a spider. 
Keycool is a terrible name.

LOL, this thread delivered quickly.

Immediately on the first post.
"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.

Basically, the wind blew on it and the Chinese won.

Monoprice is pretty terrible as a name but they make more than just keyboards. The 9433 doesn't even have a useful name.

WASD is also terrible. Nobody but gamers knows WTF that means, but they're not a maker of gaming boards.

Black Widow and Spyder are both terrible names because spiders.

Ducky Shine just sounds like a carwash for ducks.

NerD60 is just rubbing it in.

JD40 sounds like something you spray on hinges.

The Infinity is not infinite.

Basically everything sucks and we should all be ashamed I guess.

Truly Ergonomic....

The name itself is okay I guess, but they should have made sure it actually was "truly ergonomic" before attaching the name to it. What would they call the next, more ergonomic version? "Really Truly Totally Ergonomic, we're not kidding this time"?

Rosewill: I won't, but maybe Rosewill? Better than Will-rose I guess.

Personally I think "Pure" is a fine name for a fine board.
