But does it have some heft to it? That is the only important benchmark for a keyboard.

 

As much as I like Coolermaster peripherals, their, and everyone else's 'mem-chanical' offerings, just plain... Are not great keyboards. Not as in they suck, they are just membrames with a clicky bit. I would usually recommend people thinking about mem-chanical to either get a 'Chinese mechanical' or get a simple keyboard and save up for a 'real mechanical board'.

"It feels like it's trying to be something it is not", that sums up my thoughts on mem-chanicals.

I think that cheap chineese mechanical keyboard would be better than this.

Anyone else see Cooler Master's response yet in the YouTube comments?

 

They say Linus requested it, but the linked email seems to indicate it was offered for review first in a previous email.  The request is more of a "Sure, I'll try it since you're offering, but have no intentions of reviewing it."

Eh, some brands feel like they have to come in and defend their product. I'd argue that they went about it the wrong way in this case (could've pointed to other reviews that differ from ours, customer reviews, or provided real information to counter our points or experience), but everyone has their own approach.


The thing that kinda surprised me was that they also claimed it was a prototype in some YT comments, but they didn't mention that at all in the email chain that they quoted from in the Imgur link. It arrived in retail packaging so... if they actually did send over a prototype, they didn't do a very good job of communicating that either directly or indirectly, and we evaluated it as what it appeared to be - a retail product.

 

I did enjoy the "Gamers Nexus Jr." roast though. That was a good one xD

We need a product review channel from LMG to review, compare, and contrast all that tech!

It exposed them more than it "burned" you guys lol. Can't believe they're still salty about a review that ended up being directly responsible for several much improved iterations of the case.

Well China is built on making things that are fake. I am sure the government supports it!

I believe it is the Casio WSD-F20, saw that one mentioned in another thread some time ago.
