I'm glad that we're getting to the bottom of what your REAL objection to my campaign is though - a review from a few months ago in which I gave your favourite switches a negative comparison, and in which you argue I'm biased because I don't compare it to a keyboard I don't have. Makes perfect sense.
It's not about what you did AGAINST Cherry MX switches - I also wanted to see the Gateron in the video since I actually think MX Blues are shit and Gateron blues are the "good" MX Clickies - but how you use a totally crooked comparison to give your sponsor a 10/10 rating.
I have watched my share of Youtube reviews and product comparisons and never have I seen a conclusion like that - In your FIRST paid review ...
You either got in way over your head and just didn't have anything to compare the Matias against in which case I think it is just wrong to pull up ANY comparison and forge that into a verdict ...
Or you were looking for perform well in your first job and did what was necessary to make a nice Matias ad.
I mean we're WAY past the point where you could give the Matias an unbiased review now ...
Still, would just be funny to see how this review could have been if you had a Magicforce68 with Gateron Blues and a Filco with MX Blues for comparison
LOL just makes me ask myself ... why didn't you compare it to ANY of the other Clicky Fullsize keyboards you have? Maybe a ModelM or a ModelF ? I mean you are going the EXACT comparison Matias is aching for on their product page.
See I _WAS_ just looking at the shady Cherry MX comparison but now I wonder ... isn't a 50$ Model M a great alternative as a clicky typist keyboard? Matias should send me one and let me do the Model M comparison, they will love it
I do compare them to other keyboards, I explicitly stated that they're not as good as the old Alps switches, I even concluded that if you want the best possible you'd get an OmniKey with blue Alps instead! You're so blinded by your personal vendetta against me that you're selectively leaving out bits from my video that completely wipe out your argument in order to push your false points to discredit me.
That's called twisting someone's words and is just about the lowest form of debate. You're not interested in the objectivity of my videos at all at this point, because you won't even look at the bits where I show the negatives of the keyboard. Sure, if you neglect all the negatives I said, I'm only saying good stuff, you're definitely right about that. If ANYONE here is biased it's you - you're not looking at the negatives and only at the positives!
Clearly, you skipped the entire conclusion, and probably other parts of the video, because if you hadn't, you'd never have raised this point to begin with. I like Matias switches
because they're new and still available. I like a great many things better, a lot better even, but not everyone can get their hands on a blue Alps keyboard in as-new condition, and not everyone is interested in scouring eBay for old keyboards and then trying to get them to work on a modern computer. My point with this keyboard is that it's not as good as the old keyboards I have, but it's better than most of the modern competition, and that's in fact exactly what I mention in the conclusion!
And davkol, what you're saying is just not true, one of the things I've learned from Tom's Hardware in fact. They've had calls from companies complaining how all their preorders on a product got cancelled because TH gave it a bad review (in fact TH give bad reviews to lots of products, all of which are donations - I suppose they're all biased as well despite this?), but still those same companies keep sending them more stuff. They basically send everything they make out to them for review. Sure, there's always biased reviewers around, I mentioned that before. But I think I'm not one of them. Regardless, you're more than free not to watch any of my sponsored videos. I've made it abundantly clear they're sponsored, and if you don't want to watch them, you don't have to, I'm not making you or anything. I've mentioned it in the review itself, it's in the video description, and the Matias logo all over the splash panel I hoped would give an indication that it's sponsored too (actual text describing this would look rather ugly in a splash panel, I'm sure you'd agree). So, for future reference, just skip all the videos I put up with a logo in the splash panel, and then neither of you have to complain about this strange perceived bias that's apparently so rife throughout my Matias video.
