Kaico Labs CAUGHT STEALING Retrotink 2x
84Mike Chi, engineer of the Retrotink 2x, had his product design reverse engineered and copied by a company called Kaico Labs. Twitter user Lord Voultare had posted emails on twitter exposing this fraud of a company, but they have since been taken down due to Twitter rules.
Kaico Labs has posted a response on Reddit, but all it looks like is a poor excuse for being caught red handed. While the information on utilization is open source, the actual design and specs used are eerily similar with the actual parts utilized in the final design, (nearly 1:1) to Mike Chi's Retrotink 2x device, even the specs and details/instructions have the same typos. This is a bad look for Kaico.
