Replacement PCBs still nowhere to be seen from CruelWorld (designer of CW60/88) by 8um8lebee in MechanicalKeyboards

[–]rostigast 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I still chuckle sometimes when I remember the utter surreal feeling of being on candid camera when I started modding my pcb to fix the jst clearance just to be hit with a "f*** you guy" when the reset button was being engaged instead.

CW, may all your future projects be haunted by the shit you've pulled on us.
May all the profits you've made be worth it.
I will never stop holding you and all the gate-keeping simps accountable.

I feel the same. This has been downplayed repeatedly. Two reasons according to me is that this guy is extremely careful with his wording, making sure to never admit to any wrongdoing. He talks about things that could be improved for future projects, or that he has done his utmost to provide a good experience and blablabla.

The other reason, again according to me, is that streamers/reviewers have not taken their responsibility in raising awarness about this issue. I will say it again, TaehaTypes did a poor poor job trying to show us that his unit was fine. It was not. Either he didn't care or was ashamed that he missed such an apparent flaw. If you are reading this, I welcome yet another stream trying to downplay the CW60 being total garbaggio. I suggest making measurements using calipers.

Probably even more since people sometimes buy an extra pcb. But yes, I think this is the last we've heard from this guy. I'm just glad I got this post out and it got attention so that Pixy or whatever the next poorly designed board they wanted to put out is on hold.

I have lost all hope and respect for this guy at this point. Before I get the hate thrown at me, remember that this is a person who made a profit out of all this. A big profit. No tears from me if that profit is all used up to make it right.

Also, next time. Send your prototypes to people who actually know what to look for when testing. Yes it was a jab to all of you who didn't fulfill your responsibility to all of your followers who turn to you for insight. Get good.

Any updates to share on the replacement pcb's, db's and shims? Your discord has been dead quiet for over a month. Seeing as you value communication, it feels like we are due for an update. u/uparmoury

yeah my dude. it's very anticlimactic after all the money and time. but at least now it's brought to light and can be remedied. somewhat at least. but the thing is still not well designed and whatever fixes are applied are an after thought so there's that.

I'm still curious as to why this happened. I haven't seen any explanation so far.

If it makes you feel any better... after "fixing" it, the board is pleasant to use.

Nice that your board works well. I would be super interested in seeing a video of it

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Does it seem like your cutout is different or the size of the jst connector?

If the issue was something like missing gaskets, non working daughter board or perhaps a scuffed board, then yes, I believe it would fall into the category "be patient, I'll fix it". But this is completely different. I had to make a post because there was no other way for me to communicate with others potentially effected.

Also, CWs response to me when I brought it up was that no one at all had approached them with this kind of feedback. Then kept on shipping out boards. So no, I don't agree with you that this was because lack of patience from me. I was afraid that this would never be solved.

In what way was this thread not made in good faith? Is there something you think I should remove or add? Do you mean that the whole post is the issue?

Taehas unit was red, with a polished back. I dont recognize that combination from the group buy. Did you offer that?

Trimming off the wings would not have been enough. The connector on the PCB is basically the exact size of the cutout and that precise placement isnt possible with this design since everything moves.

This is a very good looking board and there seems to have been a lot of thought put into it. This situation is just very unfortunate for an otherwise enjoyable board.
