  • The problem with magnetic cables is - well, the cables. You never know the build, quality, length and well - just about everything.
    What if you could convert your existing cables as a magnetic solution? These look like they would do the job - we put them to the test.

    Hello Monroe, as far as these cable connectors go I have heard mostly negative and discretionary advice. The issues stem from having a bad connection (maybe not initially) and also exposing the contact points to debris. The information I have gathered is that having a high power connection on these connectors creates a possibility for them to heat up and melt into the electronics port. Having a wonky connection of course introduces a possibility for data corruption through the data lines, but I would be more worried about debris creating a possible short circuit if the open connectors are not kept clean. Also there is just the reality that USB-C magnetic tip adaptors or cables are not compliant with the USB specifications. Some Microsoft Surface products have these sorts of connectors but those are patented and implemented with the possible issues in mind when including that port.

    I use a few of these but another brand GTbeans but mostly for my phones and my steam deck. I always try to make sure ports are regularly cleaned before using with steam deck. Use them also connecting to nreal cable to my steam deck a bit easier if I accidentally get up

  • @Tecnogeekies

    the pins are only on one side, that why if you turn it do not work, because there is no pin connection

  • @carlosbacasoto102

    Can I transfer data? Like using it with my usb c mic?

  • @idahofishgamer3560

    Hey so why didn't you just flip the dock cord over

  • @kostia_mu

    Does it only work for charging or also for Video Transfer (ext. Monitor for example) ?

    The problem is the angle alright. So long as a product with a 90° angle toward the back is released, that would solve everything. I'm not considering that sort of product (that i just learned about right now, so thx for that) otherwise.

  • @ankitwadhwa89

    Can you recommend any adapter that can be used for both charging and extending my mac display to external monitor at the same time.

    There's a straight version of this adapter which does not block the button or the vent and can be used with the dock

    I set some up on my battery bank as well as my deck dock/ deck. The convenience on these works very well alongside the deck.

  • @ThatGoth

    You realise you can plug the dock cables in the other way don't you.
