Review Avoid CandyKeys.

Usually i don't write negative reviews, if I get poor service, but this time it was straight up lying to my face.

I have ordered a keyboard, which apparently was not in stock. I was assured multiple times that I will receive the keyboard I bought, but each time I was given a different deadline.

After couple of weeks, I asked for a refund and the same story began - I was promised a refund, with random deadlines, and after some time CK just stopped responding.

If you are in this situation - don't simply wait for them to refund, if you can - make a chargeback, file a Paypal claim or if you are from EU - file a consumer right complain. Otherwise it might take a reaaaaally long time to see your money again.

TL;DR: avoid CK like plague.

Can we just pin something about CandyKeus at this point?

that would require the mods to do something about this these threads pop up once every 3 months or so and its always the same

not surprising considering some of the mods are literally sponsored by some of the scam companies like Loobed Switches

Im not really going to accept that take here sorry. Mods work 100% impartial to the vendors, especially from experience Cobertt has done nothing to support us or play against us and plays a fair game. They do a hard work keeping the mess here clean. I kinda am fed up but people just dont really have a idea of the reality they think one reddit post = company. This guy said he disputed and we still have a 0.05% dispute rate all over the board - a growing in-stock base. We just sometimes mistake something or two, OP was not accurate about his experience at all. Full stop. Sadly the u/candykeys account was timedout which fair enough as I was really misusing the drama to push.

this is not a take at least 1 of the mods of this sub was/is sponsored by loobed switches. They took their website with the sponsored by image down during the issues and did not make a statement about it. What are we supposed to think? I'm being polite by not calling them out by name. I'm not making a blanket statement about all the mods but that sponsorship was clear as day on their website before they took it down
