Horrible 2 gang switched socket with usb. Its very flimsey and has 2 earth terminals on the back for each socket that ARE NOT CONNECTED (by not connected I mean to each other each individual connection goes to one earth pin only) so watch for them. No suprise its from china on Ebay.

Good spot, loads of these on the market, very poor quality.
Some even being sold at the regular DIY stores are terrible, poor connections, Tx just tagged onto back of the unit, with additional cables connected to the regular L-N-E terminals.
