They do make relatively quality products for really affordable prices. I've had few of their devices and while they didn't particularly stand out (except one series of 5.1 wooden speakers that were super popular), but they were never crap either.

I find some of the products quite okay, I have a BT-925 speaker myself and find the sound quality quite nice, it has a classic look to it. But from what I've seen at Computex in Taipei last year, seems like 2016 and 2017 have almost exactly the same products, and their mice are pretty much all shaped the same for some odd reason. I would like to see how the saving 50% productivity is calculated, if you replace the function keys with your own customized keys, then the original short cut functions won't work, I really don't see how that makes life easier, it's like knowing something, unlearning that, relearning something new (it's easy to plug in numbers but man, to get to that 50% productivity, I think a whole lot of learning needs to take place, is it seriously worth the time?)
