| CIDOO | Selling wired boards based on QMK without sources, just `via.json` provided. |
| Darmoshark | Selling wired boards based on QMK without sources, just `via.json` provided. |
| Epomaker | Lots of historical keyboards with `via.json` but no corresponding sources. Wireless code for a small handful provided, pending core cleanup for QMK upstreaming. Most other boards have source nowhere to be seen. |

| KiiBOOM | Seems to use the same OEM as Epomaker, same problems. |
