A
Austin Evans·TechWish Has Gotten WORSE
TL;DR
Wish.com products reviewed after a six-week wait reveal consistently poor quality, overpriced knockoffs, and bizarre gadgets that mostly disappoint.
Key Points
- 1.The $70 Switch clone was a clear disappointment. Branded 'X80 AI game device,' it came with bundled headphones, a terrible analog stick, an unusable off-axis screen, and mini-USB charging — though emulation was passable.
- 2.A $51.50 spy camera watch delivered poor value. The concealed camera watch recorded upside-down footage, had confusingly labeled controls ('clork' and 'retord'), and was deemed not worth the price.
- 3.A $135 fake iPad/iPhone hybrid arrived as a laughable Android knockoff. Styled after the iPhone 17 Pro, it ran slow fake-iOS software, came pre-installed with TikTok and a Russian app store (RuStore), and included a built-in stylus.
- 4.16GB DDR4 RAM from Wish cost $119 — barely cheaper than retail. It did function when installed, but the savings were negligible compared to buying from a legitimate retailer like Micro Center.
- 5.A finger-shaped wireless mouse and a laser keyboard produced chaotic results. The finger mouse required a AAA battery and worked 'on trousers,' while the Bluetooth laser keyboard accidentally connected as a Bluetooth speaker playing Raid: Shadow Legends music.
- 6.A heated mousepad hand warmer was the final item and also failed. Plugging in via USB-C and reaching up to 55°C, it heated the outside surface rather than the interior where hands rested, making it functionally useless.
