TextBladeDenied

Count me among the masses of waytools forum users who were banned for mild criticism and then permanently shadow banned when the original ban expired. I am unable to post there, I have a status of new user or something like that. I have emailed waytools on and off several times a year and never received a single reply. I paid for my Textblades in April 2015. The company has strung me along, along with who knows how many others who paid up front, with the promise of an early adopter gift and an imminent release date, always just weeks, then months, then seasons away. The waytools rep posting here sounds exactly like the crazy person who posts on the waytools forum - also talking complete nonsense or attacking critics rather than addressing the core issue that they have not shipped their product. I have no idea why they won't ship it. All of their alleged testers claim it works fine. Either the testers are all just fake accounts and shills promoting a product that will never actually be manufactured and shipped, or the people who run the company are just crazy. Appleinsider says they saw pallets of Textblades? Interesting. Did they actually look in the boxes? Did they randomly sample a few and see if they work? This feels just like the Macrumors article that was 4??? years ago (so long ago its unbelievable) where a puff piece was written about how great it is, but no serious inquiries were made, no serious research done on the problems of the company. My problem with waytools is simply that they are demanding to hold my money forever in order to stay in line for an order I placed years ago. If they gave me a refund and said I'm still in the same position to get the keyboard if it ever ships, then I would just forget about it until it showed up in the mailbox, but I have left my money with them because they string me along with endless delays and the threat of going to the back of the line if I bail out, and its not much money so I just wait. But I don't think they and others here who shill for them should get away with such propaganda and lies - Colin and Kahuna. Meanwhile they claim to be giving textblades to hundreds of other people who ordered much later? So dishonest. They are fundamentally dishonest and unethical and holding people's money while they lie to their customers on a daily weekly monthly quarterly basis about when the product will actually truly ship. Very bad company and very unprofessional - borderline disturbing- people in their customer service. It's a cool product theoretically, hope its real, hope it ships, but there is no evidence whatsoever that it will happen. All evidence is that it will never ship and anyone who bothered to wait is either waiting for nothing and should take a refund or will get screwed when the company goes belly up. Waytools can talk all the trash to people they want here but the one thing they cannot do is ship the product people paid for on the date they promised. They have lied so many times its just a total joke at this point.
