10 Comments on SteelSeries Introduces Limited Edition Aion Zboard Keyset, QcK Aion Asmodian Mousepad
I spend 15 dollars on 2 shots in my first minute at a club or 2-3 beers over 30 minutes
People that rent movies pay that much for a couple movies for what... 4-6 hours?
You have to remember that money pays the salaries of the development staff that styays with the game till it goes offline, the entire time they are reading user feedback and creating new content, this isnt like Madden 2010 when you have a dev team make a game, then move to the next project... these types of games are on going projects.
And as far as support, what kind of support? Most games come with support with no monthly fee anyway. And if not, there's usually at least a forum to turn to.
The problem is you can get the same level of entertainment out of games, without the monthly fees.
It's the same reason I'll never buy xBox Live Gold either. My PC and my PS3 play online for free.
The situation now is that only the regular keyset functions at all, its intermittent and drops out sets of keys (at the moment L.alt has become m, Z doesnt work nor does the left shift key, and only the left hand portion of the space bar works), this occasionally changes to none of the windows, ctrl shift or alt keys working, although all keys can be made to work by unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in, but the problems return after five minutes or so. To add to that all 64bit versions of the drivers have been dreadull, crashing frequently.
To anyone thinking of buying i would seriously avoid, there are far better keyboards available for similar money with far better build quality, key action and features.
