I got a reply from them saying that they are investigating it and then they cancelled my order.

I didn't see that actually - just been getting a 'page cannot be displayed'

I have emailed them and got nothing. I've sorted another chip and someone to install it this weekend. Just hope I get a refund.

If this is a reputable company I would have thought that they would have jumped on this quickly to avoid bad reputation

yes they are.

I only saw one poster say that they were fakes. A few employees stating they were genuine and a bunch of other people just waiting on them. I'm waiting for more than one person to say they're fake before calling shenanigans.

Chinese business is all about flaming, defamation and background fights. With the Chinese, we all seem like goody two-shoes who just like building cheap products and copying existing products. But on the inside, business is very roothless and I'm sure Kai has no problem calling out 'fake' against his old partner.

Any proof of this? Of either allegation?

If Dealextreme's is fake then most likely so is Kaidomain's since from what I read around most forums, they both get their stuff from the same suppliers.

I received an email from Dealextreme today saying that their Wiikey is real and if it wasn't I'd get a refund. I won't really know until I receive mines but going by how most people seem to say that Dealextreme is a fairly reputable online retailer, I'm going to take their word for it at the moment.

Caveat Emptor....remember that...

Their price of the WiiKey is just too cheap. Remember you can reference the price to other retailers and the numbers just do not match up. Their other stuff is so cheap because in general it is just cheap junk which is available in China for approximately the same price.

Just don't go whining if you find out their WiiKey is fake. They probably don't know better anyways. They are just retailers of 'everything'.
