cross-posted from: https://monero.town/post/894746

My Experience:

• Used on October 24th, 2023
• First time customer
• Purchase a game key

The Positives:

• Easy to navigate their website and pay
• Relatively fast payments, coinpayments said it would succeed after 3 confirmations, but it took 10 confirmations

The Negatives:

• Opened a support ticket and the support person said” it might be worth contacting our support team directly at [email protected]. They will be able to investigate the issue and provide you with a resolution.” due to not receiving my product after over 50 confirmations…
• Haven't received my product yet
• They have a button below called “Click Here to Fix Awaiting Payment Order” and I have submitted proof, and they provided no response even far after their time frame of 1 hour.

Rating:

0/5 – Product has not been received

Recommendation:

0/5 – Not recommended

Update

Still no response from support regarding the purchased game key. At this status it's an SCAM

Update 10/25

No response on the issue, labeling it as a scam

My experience:

• First time customer
• Smooth checkout process
• Updated me frequently with emails, including tracking numbers

Positives:

• Grips pretty well to the desk (fake wood) 4/5
• Competitively priced
• Smooth and isn't two layers on the top layer. This was a concern upon ordering for mouse traction, but it's all one layer on the top.
• Shipped relatively quick, under a week

Negatives:

• Wish the top layer was a bit thicker, considering my previous Steel Series QCK Mouse pad lasted a little over a year and half. I would expect this mouse pad to do the same. It's honestly probably from the same manufacture.
• Wish it was two inches bigger in W & H as, you will need a high dpi mouse if you are running dual monitors. Too track across the whole screen in one swipe

Rating:

• 3.8/5—Has the same quality of a Steel Series QCK Mouse Pad from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/SteelSeries-QcK-Gaming-Surface-Stability/dp/B07K1X9NXM

Recommendation:

• I would recommend, to people who are looking for a small/medium-sized mouse pad

Additional Details:

• I spent $17 total including shipping, which isn't priced that bad for a product that is basically this mouse pad but with Monero branding
  If you consider that the QCK equivalent is ~$13 plus an Amazon Prime membership cost. It's basically the same cost of the QCK mouse pad and same build quality… I wouldn't be surprised if they use the same manufacture in China. This product also shipped out of California, so most likely was imported.

Changes:

• feat:[close #246] adapt the Ubuntu mirror to the new URL
• fix: kinetic recipe
