Are any of these Lamptron coolers worth it?

@everyone
I was wandering around looking at clearance stuff on Titan Rig and came across several Lamptron air coolers. I remember that last year Roman pointed out that there was a serious issue with the software keys for the display not being legit.

I kind of wonder if they bought someone's coolers, rebranded them and added the displays with the fake keys that Roman exposed last year again....

So the title is the first question.

The second question is about their newer CT070 fan controller which, honestly, seems to be really good but I'm worried it has the same software problem that Roman pointed out and the only reason I know it's for sale is because they reached out to me directly and offered it for $160. Has anyone heard if they resolved the software problem? The FC ticks MOST of the boxes I have, but not enough to buy them, and so I declined. Also, I had to ask questions about the device and its compatibility with what I need it to do because the documentation didn't show everything and, aside from one or two things, it's almost like they deliberately made it for me based on an email I sent out in 2023 about looking for an FC, with my requirements, to about 50 companies.

Thoughts? Info? Thanks!
 
For those prices NOPE you'd be better of with a cheap n cheerful 360 mm AIO
 
Not for those prices. unless you want the screen. Which at that point, just get a AIO with a nice screen on it, if you can fit a radiator, because it will also probably be much cheaper.

As for the second part about the software keys, I am completely clueless. These coolers just look suspicious.. and my gut feeling tells me to avoid them man.
 
I figured as much but it's always good to make sure the gut isn't just upset from bad food, so to speak. ;)
Maybe, maybe I'm just too weary of a brand I've never heard of. I'm not sure. Will definitely invest a little bit of time into researching this brand..
