Trumpy,
cheap asian rubbish doesn`t exist as you say, all rubbish is made in Asia, and there is no connection between the price and the quality.
pairs can be:
cheap-rubbish
expnsv-rubbish
cheap-good
expnsv-good
You have to ask them to change it whenever you have a problem.
We have a problem here now with a wireless mouse. Noone knows what could go wrong.
Btw I`ve had a HP printer I wanted to install for 4 months without success. They greeted me as an old friend at HP helpdesks here and there.
Finally I`ve told them to change the device by Warranty and they did.
Voila, I installed the new one within 10 minutes.
