Keys or Kighs?

[GreatBigDave]

Hey Users,

This isn't important in the least. I just wanted to know if "Kies" is pronounced like "keys" or like "kighs" (to rhyme with "sighs"). I'm going with "keys," which of course means everyone else will tell me I'm wrong.

The desktop icon has a key hole in it, so I'm gonna go with "keys".

Shape -- I didn't even look at the keyhole in the icon. Let me take an extra-strength duh.

I always thought it was "kighs" so that when you put an S for Samsung in front of it, it would be SKies, as in the plural of Sky.

Maybe they should have named it "Samsung Galaxy S - Computer interface software" to avoid confusion.

I always thought it was "kighs" too...but I don't have a cool reason like you. I always thought it sounded Russian tho...

If you do a little research, you will see that it is pronounced "keys".

As others have already pointed out, it's pronounced "keys." For direct proof, refer to this how-to video from the Samsung UK website:
