I have been using these wires for many years. The most important thing is that it is very convenient to charge different devices with the same cord. Now it doesn’t matter if it’s Apple, Android or what else. Protects the charging port from destruction. It is also convenient for people who do not see well enough. And It's also cool that they glow in the dark

I think I need to get a set of these! Great review!

[Ripplin]

I ordered a 6-pack of them (various lengths) from Amazon for $20.

I knew these were a thing but never looked into it.
Gonna get a couple tonight!

[Ripplin]

Pretty cool. Hadn't considered them, but you bring up some good points.
I noticed you have Dreamcast-looking thumbsticks as well. Oh, and that you do your own stunts! ;)

Any recommendations for a set or brand that's actually rapid charging? I've tried like 4 different brands, 2 of which said "fast charging". I used the rapid charging bases that plug into the wall, and with the regular chargers, it worked fine. When i used the magnetic charging cables, they were only as fast as a non-rapid charger.

You know of one that is actually the high-speed charging that's also magnetic? The magnetic charging cords are a game changer. I just need them in the rapid charging speeds! The magnetic port had saved all my devices that still use the old micro-usb, and with having 3 little kids, it saved some ipads from taking a tumble during charging. Amazing stuff!

[uterfan]

Didn't know of these! Can't wait to try them.

Why didn't you flip the connector 180 deg before trying to connect it to the dock, so dock's cable is pointing up instead of straight down into the body of the Deck?..

The other MAJOR CON of these is that if you get any debris near them that’s ferrous in nature (ie metal filings) they will stick to the magnets You can do your very best to get every particle off them but you just can’t and if they get in the way at all of the connection rings they can actually short circuit the cable and burn them and create a fire hazard and definitely wreck the cable and may wreck your device as well. Sadly I have learned this the hard way. Luckily my devices were fine but I have gone through several cables and tips and it keeps happening and the once brilliant idea and ease of use to have literally 1 cable charge everything and all the money I spent on it thinking it was the greatest invention of all time has all gone to waste and caused me to throw out every ounce of it. Unless they can come up with a system where the magnet isn’t near the connectors and only the cable is magnetic and not the tip that goes into your devices then sadly this whole idea is the biggest bust ever. Buyer

HR I just bought one a I'm planning on buying another one with extra tips👍

[roaransky]

The only bad thing with these cords is that they don’t follow any actual safety protocols that normal usb cables follow. This means any warranty for the device is void when you start using them. And because they don’t follow the same industry standards it can end up frying the device and in extreme cases it could even cause a fire (I haven’t looked up any examples of this but saw other people saying these were causing fires).

So for cheaper replaceable items, these work great. But they aren’t worth the risk for more expensive or irreplaceable items. And it’s probably worth spending a bit more to prevent a fire due to super cheap/poor cables

[cary_matheson]

Neat idea. Does it charge just as fast or is it slower? Does the magnet affect hte electronics?

[allenseeallendo]

If they made this in 1 meter I would buy it. Also I really like the silicone charging cables these days being super playable and bendy.

[Fauxkerykes]

I want this to keep the port clean from dust and debris. Will it work for this purpose?

[DD-]

Is anyone aware of dust caps for the usb connector plug left in the phones port please?

[johnmathias]

Will it fit properly in a mobile with a phone case?

[angep-ogoz]

They don't last long enough. Average 3 to 6 months. Not worth it
