Switch from CES - is this legit?

[Diablonar]

Hey!

 

So some backstory: So I'm looking to get a proper HDMI Switch so I can switch whichever console I want my capture card to capture.

Currently I'm using a 5-input 1-output cheapo switch with a remote, that automatically detects whichever device suddenly turns on and switches to it.

 

This is practical, but has lead to severe issues during streams, in particular the PS2 game Klonoa seems to stop sending signals whenever it's about to enter and exit a loading screen, causing at some point the HDMI Switch to simply switch to "nothing". My capture card just simply isn't receiving anything at all, after enough rapid switching.
The only remedy was unplugging the Switch and using the cables directly into the capture card.

 

So now I need one that can only manually switch, or at least disable auto-switching, with as many inputs as possible.

I also capture my PC's graphics output this way, and wouldn't mind futureproofing a little if I can get a Switch that supports a higher HDMI standard and lets me at some point stream or upload HDR content in 4K 144hz.

 

What I found

 

So essentially I looked around eBay and stumbled across this:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/8-In-1-Out-Rack-Mount-Video-Audio-HDMI-Switch-Support-3840-2160-4K/323196318880?hash=item4b400074a0:g:TiEAAOSwIzBaw3iC

https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-Port-HDMI-2-0-HDTV-4K-60Hz-Switch-with-Audio-Output/323198642355?hash=item4b4023e8b3:g:qGkAAOSw6TRaw35q

All my alarm bells went off, considering not only is this the seemingly only Switch on eBay that I could find supporting all those features without being a KVM Switch, but also because the price is extremely low for that featureset.

They've got one sale on their profile, and are seemingly as new as from CES 2018.

 

The description of the product claims they had a showing at CES. Problem is, Google seems to yield nothing when I try to figure out what even happened at CES this year. Halp?

I have no opinion on the switch itself (never used one) but the company is listed on the 2018 exhibitor list for CES ..

I can only see Teslasuit, Tesla Elec Technology and Tesla Wireless Device Inc., I can't see Tesla Smart or TESMART.

 

EDIT: going to their website, they're listed below as Tesla Elec Technology, so you might be right. I'll order one and see.

As @TetraSky explained, full-body haptics like the Teslasuit and vests would be too expensive for the average consumer, but who knows? Maybe economies of scale will make it affordable in 5+ years.

 

In my opinion, VR arcades, adventure houses, and escape rooms could add infinitely more immersion using something like the Teslasuit. Take The Void for example:

As far as affordability goes if the Teslasuit only takes off in commercial VR venues, the other way to go about affordable full-body VR haptics is the interweaving conductive fibers into everyday clothing (applying varying amounts of voltage to varying kinds of fibers to yield desired user effects):
