Razer Gaming Products = spam

Just a little bitch and moan.

I purchased a Razer Lachesis and accompanying mouse mat about 3 years ago (from a retailer).

Initially I had some very annoying problems with the mouse; it had a glitch which caused the cursor to jump to the top-right of screen. Often enough and irritatingly enough to invest time into researching the problem. Sure enough I wasn’t the only one and eventually they released a firmware upgrade which reduced the problem but didn’t fix it.

The other complaint was that their branded mouse mat – marketed as the perfect accompaniment to optimize usage of the mouse – was complete rubbish and the mouse actually worked better without it – on the bare table. That’s when it wasn’t jumping to the top right of screen unpredictably.

So, after overspending an embarrassing amount of money on this stuff I gave up and flogged it all to some poor sod on eBay for mere pennies.

But the real cause for complaint, and the motivator for this post, is I have been getting spammed by Razorzone ever since. For the first couple of years the “unsubscribe” link just said “you are unsubscribed” – yet I still received the spam. But still I try. On 18/10/2010 I actually got an email “You are unsubscribed”. Yet clearly I’m not. Today the “unsubscribe” link is completely broken.

Which all speaks a lot about how competently the company is run.

Incompetent people.
Shit products.

Avoid.
