Manufactured by Durock
That's gonna be a no from me dawg.
I used to be like, than I found out some more "information". There's a lot of finger pointing and hearsay between all parties. At this point, it's hard to say who is at fault or if one switch manufacturer just made up claims to hurt his competitor. One thing is certain though, Durock makes great switches.
I've been through the messages that the guy from Durock showed screenshots from and agree that there is a lot of finger pointing/he said, she said; but at the end of the day they knowingly (imo) lied and misled companies and customers.
I don't think anyone here is interested in rehashing the drama because at this point, if you know about it, you've already made your decision on whether you want to support their products or not. Nobody is changing hearts and minds on this thread (it's certainly not my intention) and that's not what it's for anyways. I only commented originally to say that I'm not going to support a product from this manufacturer.
I mean the fact that they were able to sell their products as switches priced at $1+ and it took so long for people to notice is a testament to their switches quality, but I just don't want to personally support a company willing to pull their shenanigans.
Again, just to head off any arguments that anyone wants to make that they don't see anything that such and such company did as a problem given whatever business practices, blah, blah, blah: I don't care. I'm not trying to lead a charge for everyone to boycott this company's products, just giving my input into why I won't join the GB.
