Vertex won’t refund and they have already been asked. Tobe is the second party that is buying up people’s Cerebra at a discounted price. If Vertex does eventually produce a worker by controller then Tobe will be able to trade in all his controllers for new ones and sell them hopefully for a profit.
Hey Tobe,Let it go! let it goooooo!
Hahhaha!
Are you still wanting a unit? If so, I get being upset and wanting to vent, but what I don’t get is people that are eager to get a unit but then their actions of constantly complaining and bashing Vertex ultimately will drive others away from purchasing one and without a large user base then this thing will die on the vine no matter how good the finished project is. How do we have ongoing support and development and integration with new equipment (like the Xepta aBex, that I heard they were working with to be able to work with the Cerebra) without lots of owners of the unit?
If it’s just sour grapes then that’s just kind of pathetic after a point don’t you think? No offense meant, but think about it. If you hate it that bad I’ve offered to buy units still for what people paid.
And then there are people like First Contact that lead the charge to undermine his own supposed goal of a successful controller. Using screen grabs of my posts and others from the private Beta Forum and then not putting it in context or including my replies that would put it in a more balanced light.
And to cap it off, when I offer to buy his unit he tells me he wants $800 for it?
I just don’t get the goal. I’ve doubled down and bought units to help support what I hope is ultimately a success and if I’m lucky get my money back out of my investment and maybe even profit a bit and usher new users into the community (for prices below retail) thereby infusing the community with more users that theoretically will increase the likelihood of a long term top notch controller company and all that entails.
My dad told me when I was very young, “you can be part of the solution or part of the problem”. What good is the complaining and bashing for you or anyone?
And believe me, I’m as frustrated as anyone (times 25, as that’s how many beta units I own) but I know it’s coming and I’d rather have it be late and right than rushed to appease all of us (me included at times) that are griping about it.

#1 You never mentioned an extra power bar, so that would bring your cost up to $550ish. And having paid for shipping on many of the 25 I bought that would be a max of $40 which you didn’t mention either.
I didn’t ask to be a moderator. And quite frankly I’mIf you sunk as much money into it as he did, you'd be cheering for them too!
The optimistic part of me thinks that the forum shutting down is so they can replace it with the Cerebra Cloud they've been developing. Remembering back to the cloud beta we participated in, there was messaging and forum capabilities built into the cloud that was mocked up and not yet functional.
If they're close to releasing and the software is ready, it makes sense to migrate over there.
Why they wouldn't come out and tell us this has me scratching my head though.
Scrapping old celebras for home wreckers I figured out ur master plan
Yes, we have been monitoring this thread and so far there has been nothing that violates the terms of service. I take this opportunity to remind everyone that they should remain polite, refrain from personal attacks and stay on topic.
Glad to hear you had a better result. What you are describing is certainly more in keeping with their reputation than my overall experience was. It's worth restating that they were extremely courteous, etc... just could not/did not fix for me. I'm a results based person. Don't tell me you care, show it with your actions. Same with theme of this forum - don't hype your product to me, SELL IT.
