Counterfeit Teensy, Beware

Counterfeit Teensy:

If it came in this box,
it's a counterfeit.

Counterfeit Teensy boards have appeared on the market. Counterfeit boards are not compatible with Teensy Loader and Teensyduino, and may not work with many projects. Counterfeits may be sold as "Teensy 2.0" but have hardware similar to version 1.0 (see below).

PJRC does not provide technical support for counterfeit products!

Please be careful to buy only genuine Teensy USB development boards.

Several circuit boards that do not resemble Teensy have been falsely marketed as "Teensy USB".

These are NOT made by PJRC. They are obviously NOT Teensy boards.
