Arduino Micro from eBay - reliable?

knuckles:
all my clones work fine ,you can get a refund if not .

No one said that they would not.

knuckles:
in fact i have more faulty parts from the big names as their QC sucks ,and they buy them from china any way .

Illogical, if they buy from China then it is China's QC that sucks. No company buys from China and then unpacks them to to there own testing. If something doesn't work then it is up to the factory to test and rectify it.

So save a few pennies and sponge off the people who do support the Arduino and pump some money back into the project.
