Useless/bad (tech) products people actually buy

Sometimes I see people walking around with these gadgets that you just shouldn't buy. The iPod shuffle for instance. I mean for $50 you can have a much better mp3 player with a decent screen.

 

Still can't believe people buy the iPod shuffle. Just can't believe it. What is wrong with those people?!

Inb4 all apple products...

 

From EXPREIENCE I think Razer mice, Keyboards, headsets and one of their mouse pads are sub par in build quality...

 

I can't recommend (I've gone through 2 Razer mice, 2 keyboards, 2 Headsets, and my mouse  pad is literally falling apart. )

*cough* *cough* Beats

PC is Intel Core i5 6400, GIgabyte H170 Gaming 3, Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x4GB 2400Mhz ,Sandisk Ultra Plus 128GB, WD Blue 1TB, NZXT S340, ASUS Geforce GTX 960. Fractal Design Tesla R2 650W. http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/793XNG. Graphics card choices don't always have to be dictated on performance. If you want the game stream and power consumption of the GTX 970 get that. If you want raw performance of the R9 390 get that. In the end we are all gamers, so what if your buddy gets an extra 5 fps?

But the Shuffle makes perfect sense.....

its a tiny light music player, great for going to the gym with, good battery life, great sound, built in clip is great when your cycling shorts dont have pockets etc - its not designed as a primary music player, has great features like VoiceOver and its gorgeous and well made....

 

its also cheap and works well with with somebody on the existing Apple eco system....

 

So.. yeah

 

 

Almost ANY product can be explained in logical manner if you think about the end user

If you put it that way. I argue that you can have all that and more for a cheaper price.

My Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition has treated me well since Black Friday last year. No issues what so ever.

 

I'm planning on getting a K70 RGB later this year though for Brown Switches and rainbow lighting

No it's just a horrible product. and besides being in the Apple eco system is a mistake on it's own. So buying an iPod shuffle is letting Apple steal more money from you because "your already in the eco system".

 

It's like ordering expensive hamburger. and then get a small hamburger that leaves you still hungry. So then you'll just buy another expensive hamburger to be less hungry because, well you already had one. Yeah great.

Yup.  :D The sad thing is, there's like tens or hundreds of different models on Amazon. I like and dislike reading the 1-star reviews on them.
