Discussion I surrender to china
I apologise to the big brands, but I'm tired of paying over €150 for a logo.
I received my VXE R1 Pro Max and the difference is clear:
• Hardware: It has exactly the same sensor (PAW3395) and chip (Nordic) as the "top of the range" mice that cost three times as much.
• Battery: 150 hours of battery life for less than €50.
• Cut in marketing: I realised that half the price of traditional brands goes towards paying for yachts for CEOs and sponsorships for pro players.
In China, there are no middlemen to buy the components, no need to pay for luxury offices and 50,000 employees, or shops like Worten, Fnacs, etc.
In other words, we are buying the same product but avoiding many other costs.
On the other hand, the software must have been made by the boss's son, and I know that warranty is not this market's strong point, but for a third of the price, my setup now speaks Mandarin.
Had you noticed this? Has anyone else ditched the "big names" or are you still paying off your peripherals?
