$6 in China.[0] What this actually means is that they reused an existing set of polymer injection molds instead of spinning one for the project, which has two benefits: 1. Reduced cost. 2. Deniability for customers. The second would support a default-boot-to-games boot configuration with a secret button push to activate real functionality.
Having opened such a device in the recent past (cloned gaming type, not the carjacking type) there are seals around the buttons so the whole assembly is nontrivial and overly complex to reproduce purely for a small-run specialist device.
