Launca · Entry tier
Launca DL-300
The cheapest wired scanner in this list, and worth understanding for a second reason: Launca is one of the contract manufacturers whose hardware appears rebadged under other brand names. If a scanner's spec sheet looks oddly familiar, this is often what is underneath.

Where to buy it
From the manufacturer
The manufacturer's own page is also where you will find real photographs of the handpiece.
None of these are affiliate links and Kythro earns nothing if you buy. Always get at least two dealer quotes: list price is rarely the price anyone pays.
