The best one is the prolific chip (pl2303) in the controller, but it is hard
to have a genuine one. There are tons of Chinese fakes. I wounder how this
sh*t is sold in the west, how it is possible to enter the markets and why?!
I definitely was thinking of this when heard the news about Trump and the
tarifs on Chinese imports. And it is not only the prolific chip of course.
