[上午 08:07:50] Brian Min: I’ve posted on several blogs about what exactly happened - if you could maybe translate this in the Chinese and let the Taiwan community know - I’d really appreciate it. If you don’t mind, especially the BackME.TW site where they are hosting these fake Lexking Keyboards
[上午 08:07:53] Brian Min: This is Brian Min, CEO here at Qwerkytoys, Inc and the maker of the QWERKYWRITER.COM Let me clarify a few things. Lexking obtained a sample of our proprietary keycaps from our manufacturer. They literally pulled the keycaps off our Qwerkywriter and stuck them on there and ran a BACKME.TW campaign without our authorization. All CAD design and tooling machines are wholly owned by Qwerkytoys, Inc and the manufacturer is under an exclusive contract to produce our Qwerkywriter
Keycaps only to Qwerkytoys, Inc. The keycap design looks simple - but if you've examine them, you will see that considerable amount of engineering and design went into producing them. Without our keycaps, Lexking keyboards in my humble opinion is DOA.
I want to bring a word of caution to anyone thinking of buying this keyboard. Lexking has only one set of sample keycaps. In order to mass manufacture these keycaps, it will take considerable effort by either replicating our CAD Design and Tooling, or approach our manufacturer in violation of our exclusive contract. This means, it will be very difficult for Lexking to fulfill any of these pre-orders in a timely manner. We at Qwerkytoys, Inc will aggressively defend our proprietary property in this
regard.
看來是拿不到打字機鍵帽了
以下中文翻譯
Brian Min:
我已經在幾個部落格發表事情的經過了 - 或許你們可以的把這個翻成中文讓台灣的社群知道, 我會很感激. 如果你不介意, 最好發在BackME.tw這個集資假雷刻斯鍵盤的網站上.
Brian Min:
我是Brian Min, Qwerkytoys公司的CEO和QWERKYWRITER.COM的製作者. 讓我聲明幾件事情, 雷克斯從我們的製造廠那邊得到了一組我們有專利的鍵帽樣品. 他們在未經過授權的情況下把鍵帽從Qwerkywriter這把鍵盤上拔下來裝到他們的鍵盤上, 然後在BackME.tw網站上進行票選. 所有設計的CAD檔和生產工具都是由Qwerkytoys公司所有, 並且製造商有有簽訂只為Qwerkytoys公司生產Qwerkywriter鍵帽的合約. 鍵帽的設計看似簡單, 但如果你仔細的檢視, 會發現需要很多工程和設計的投入才能生產它們. 我個人認為, 沒有我們的鍵帽, 雷克斯的鍵盤就GG了.
我想告訴想要買這鍵盤的人們, 雷克斯只擁有一組我們鍵帽的樣品而已. 如果要大量生產這些鍵帽, 要嘛就是花很多心血或抄襲我們的CAD設計+生產工具, 要嘛就是要我們的製造商違約去幫他們生產. 這表示要在時間內滿足所有的預購對雷克斯來說是非常困難的. 並且在這方面我們Qwerkytoys公司會積極的捍衛我們的專利產權(不排除提告 保留法律追訴權之類的).
