Potentional Chinese knock-off?

[PeterN]

I was searching for a pyboard reseller, and found this page, which offer strange (albeit cool) looking pyboards. The webpage looks reputable, but I haven't heard of them before and the company is located in China. This seems like it's a knock-off.

Those definitely look like knockoffs.

The back of the PyBoard v1.0 and v1.1 both have the MicroPython logo on it. See this photo:

John Ruskin: "There is hardly anything in the world that someone cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price alone are that person's lawful prey."

Personally I'm happy about this. It means that the PyBoard is getting popular, and that there is now more choice.

The other side of the coin is that Pyboard sales help fund Damien's efforts in developing MicroPython, which for me is reason enough to buy the official kit. Quite apart from the fact that the real product is guaranteed to work...
