$100 is Just Symptomatic of This Company's Skewed Mindset ...

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: 1-6 months

Recommend Product: NO

I'm so very much unsurprised that QuicKeys is now charging $99.95 for their product. They've always had a history of horrifically overcharging their customers, beginning with asking $15.95 for a v1.0-v1.5 upgrade price that was almost entirely a compilation of much needed bug fixes. There are plenty of other programs out there from companies that respect their users, such as iKey (formerly Youpi Key), Keyboard Maestro, and many others (including some freeware programs, if you're only looking to program your function keys). If you make the mistake of paying $100 for this overpriced piece of junk, expect to continue paying out the nose for every point release and bug fix. Ever since CE (now "Startly") tried to pull that junk on me, I've been quite happy with one of their competitors. Trust me, you will be too.

$100 is Just Symptomatic of This Company's Skewed Mindset ... - ButMacky

Wow..that is nasty. Way to support a software company.

If you're limited to what iKey can do..you made the right choice..but to sit here and bad-mouth the whole company is rather childish..especially since this is supposed to be a comment section about version X3..which you haven't even seen.

I find the newest version outstanding.

Software companies don't receive support by default. They receive support BY EARNING IT. CE hasn't.

> but to sit here and bad-mouth the whole company is rather childish

Hardly. For me to make profanities or childish implications about the programmers themselves would be childish. For me to tell you precisely why I dislike the product is reasonable. Would anyone who thinks as I do about QuicKeys be childish?

> especially since this is supposed to be a comment section about version X3..which you haven't even seen.

This is a comment section on the product itself, not on the version itself.

> I find the newest version outstanding.

Good for you.
