Last I checked HK is selling fake Deans connectors again. They stopped for a while after Deans complained and threatened some type of legal action from what I had read, but they now have them on their site again. Other sites have also been selling them for a while now. I'm not sure how enforceable these patents are overseas, but good luck. I'm also a Castle supporter, and I dont know why they would try to copy them like this. They cant replicate the software (for now), which is what makes these controllers stand an extra notch above the rest, but I'm sure given enough time they can do anything.

Several US companies sell fake Deans. KD is just one.
