Hi, I'm Max, the lead designer of this V2 revision. You're absolutely correct! My team and I were not aware of BotBlox's 3-port switch, so a more specific description would be the world's smallest 5-port unmanaged switch. The smallest commercial alternative we found was also BotBlox's 5-port unmanaged switch [1], which we beat in both size and cost.
Once again, our mission is to create open-source, cost-effective, and accessible electronics for as many people as possible -- I think our board is much more attractive in that respect and a win in my book :)
