Linksys wants to make network switches “cool” and more expensive

"It Looks so Cool!" Linksys's public relations squad informed us in an e-mail, which also said the switch saves space by stacking beneath the $250 WRT1900AC router.
“This 8-Port Switch was designed and developed for our loyal WRT router fans," Linksys VP Mike Chen said in the company's announcement.
Seriously, who looks at a switch all day long, or places it in a spot where design is a requirement? Switches vanish under desks or behind boxes and catch dust while doing the job unnoticed.
