A few months ago I bought a wireless wii sensor bar made by a company called Asid. I was originally was planning doing some modifications to it, but after taking it apart, I changed my mind.

See for yourself:

For the visually impaired, instead of doing the standard clean mounting with screws you usually expect from electronics makers, they decided to hot glue everything. What’s worse, they even recycled some pcb from what appears to be an mp3 player(it says on the pcb stuff like “prev”, “next”, “play” “vol -”, “vol +”). All in all it screams quality engineering. What gets my goat is that people act all shocked and surprised when there’s lead in children’s toys from china, and yet that’s the usual for these guys. It’s all about doing it cheaply, even if it means cutting corners.
