    Looks like some folks believe that I support products like these fake panda switches by reviewing them, but I strongly disagree.
    TLDR; me reviewing a counterfeit product does not mean I support it, especially when I clearly say so throughout the review.
    I mentioned twice (7:12 & 9:56) in the video that I don't believe you should buy them and that products like these hurt the mechanical keyboard community.
    I also stated
    - the quality control issues this product has (2:05)
    - that the description is copied from Drop's website and it is shady (0:54)
    - that I would rather go with other switches instead (6:22)
    - that my link to this product is not affiliated (10:03)

      You're in an interesting area. You still bought them and still give people the info to buy them and are basically advertising for them. But you also admit it's unethical, admit the quality is lower, and don't recommend people to buy it. It's due to the former that people are hating on you, but tbh you're just being honest and reasonable. Anyone can buy sketchy off brand stuff without you, and while your video still likely causes more, not less people to buy them, you're perfectly honest and transparent, and if someone wants to buy them, while it's not ideal, it's not the end of the world. These products exist in every industry and every location on the planet, and people will buy them. Your video was specifically on a BUDGET keyboard you delivered; anyone wanting to build a budget board wouldn't be dumb to get the real thing, they'd be unable to because of the budget. "If I asked my friend about making a budget board, would he recommend sketchy switches?" Some people will answer no and some will answer yes, but the reality is a good number of people would build a budget keyboard with these switches, and it's not a bad idea if you're low on cash, aside from the obvious moral dilemma. It's up to the individual to determine if they are ok with the morality or not; it's their money and their product.
