Our reply to a Trustpilot review
Kyle left us this 1 star review on Trustpilot in October 2026. It's public, so it's quoted here in full, with what happened on our side and real tickets you can check for yourself.
Runaway and don't look back. Slow to support. Pushes for vouches before you even receive anything or have it set up and working. Non-existent support, i mean it physically exists(the owner) but you won't get useful help. No warranty/refund honored. Tries to upsell firmware that should not be required for low-tier ac games. Firmware locks DMA cars to activator that expires and needs to be renewed every X amount of days. Shipping still comes from China so literally no reason to buy any hardware from them. Just go to the ton of reputable China vendors yourself. If this hasn't scared you off by now then enjoy losing your money! Pay via credit card not crypto so you can at least dispute the purchase. The most polished thing about this provider is the website. It's a sharp downhill trajectory from there.
What happened
- MewDMA
The order was a 100T card, a MAKCU and a fuser together with our Advanced Firmware. The fuser he picked first was out of stock, so he asked if a bigger one would ship faster and switched to the GODLIKE 4K fuser. Once it all arrived we helped him set it up, built his firmware and flashed it with him on September 23. The next day he asked about a "Bad PCIe TLP" error, and since the card was in a small x1 slot we told him to try a bigger PCIe slot. He wrote back that evening that the error was gone, and that was the last message before the ticket was closed on October 6.

The activator
The activator is an extra layer of security on top of your card's DNA ID. When your key gets close to the end, open a ticket and we reset the same key back to 90 days for free. It's 90 days right now because of a limit on the key server, where lifetime keys aren't stable yet, and that's something that will get fixed. Your activation key has the details.
- MewDMA
Which firmware we suggest
Before he bought, he told us he streams and asked if Advanced or Lite was the safer pick for his game. We told him to go for Advanced and that T1 or T2 was only worth it if he was really worried, and we also told him to skip the Ferrum and get a MAKCU, since a MAKCU is plenty for that game and saved him around $100. We always go by what you tell us about your games and how you play, and you decide what to buy.
- MewDMA
Shipping from China
Our hardware ships from China because we're not big enough to keep our own stock yet. We work directly with GODLIKE, so our GODLIKE hardware costs less with us than on GODLIKE's own store. Buying from us gets you 1:1 support in your language from the same person who sets you up, so there's no language barrier and you aren't waiting days for a reply like with a lot of vendors abroad. You also get our branded card, and you support a small team.
- MewDMA
Warranty
He didn't ask for a warranty claim or a refund anywhere in his ticket. Every warranty we list is honored, so if something is covered, open a ticket in our Discord and we'll sort it out with you. What each part covers and for how long is in our warranty policy.
