Title: Blatant Keysight design knock-off
Post by: WattsThat on July 15, 2020, 12:50:05 am
Stumbled upon this no name Chinesium dc programmable load on Amazon today. I cannot find dimensions anywhere but wow, talk about a total image rip-off, right down to the rubber bumper design sculpting.

There is a saying in English: “Imitation is highest form of flattery”

I agree that copying a well known design might get you noticed but it does not drive sales. I would buy a Rigol or Siglent before I would buy a no-name brand, regardless of the look. Especially something like that load that is overpriced, IMO.
