Better pics from the microscope. Both are laser etched.


Real one



Fake one

I was about to say that manufacturer logos are usually sloppy on those things and yours is easy to spot because the vertical bar is too wide, but it's the original part which is wrong here :palm: :palm: :palm:

In some cases the fake logos & packages are better compared to original. Compare fake FTDI FT232 with original for example.

The real one has much better definition than the fake though.  The serifs are plainly clear on the 'R' and the logo has better definition.

Hindsight and all, of course ;)

You can clearly see the grinding lines on the fake.
Additionally, the edges of the fake are sharper than on the original, the originals rounding has gone.
You can also see that the surface in the dimple and the half circle mark look different.
