Forfeiture of revenue and a slap on the wrist civil penalty doesn’t seem like enough for selling fake PPE during a deadly pandemic.
They only killed a small percentage of the people who purchased them. Please, think of the innocent shareholders.
ETA: Look at the downvotes on this new post. The one on my comment arrived instantly. Not normal on this site.
How fast does vote info propagate between your instance and others? Legitimately curious.
To be clear, I’m under no delusions that anyone from the company will see this comment, but this is enough for me to never buy their products ever again. So they have verifiably lost at least one customer for life over this.
On the infinitesimal chance someone from the company does see it who has decision-making power from within:
Fuck (capital F) your garish plastic crap with LEDs plastered all over it. Your products were a hard pass before this, and now I’m encouraging others to avoid you
My Razor Copperhead mouse lasted less than a year. My Logitech MX518 lasted 12 years before I donated it, and it was still working when I gave it away. My one experience with Razor was enough for me to figure out that they’re a marketing company, not a hardware company.
If you weren’t going to buy any of their products in the first place, you’re not a lost sale.
I’m shocked they sold enough of those ugly things to make a million bucks.
Oh wow. Already wasn’t a fan of Razer cuz their build quality went to shit, but this plants them firmly in malice territory.
You mean their build quality was actually good at one point?
I bought one of their first mice. It was $200 and their flagship product. The paddles on left and right click squeaked. They squeaked. Because the plastic was so cheap and the way they built it. I didn’t look at them for like 10 years. Bought their Viper Pro 2 couple of years ago. The receiver went and then the wheel went a year later. Never had either of those go on any other mouse and I’ve used a ton over the past 15 years. All gaming, flagship.
They resolved the matter but doesn’t make their build quality good.
I may have gotten lucky, but their first gen Naga was the best mouse I’ve ever had. Their stuff now feels like a happy-meal toy in comparison.
So they essentially broke even? What sense does that make?
The penalty is for all revenue made, not all profit made. So they still lost money on this product with R&D, production, etc. expenses.
