    Why not just unplug it if you want to switch it off?

      That requires you to move an extra 50cm

        Screw that. I just bought.

      That's the sort of thing people would say when they first invented the remote control

      • [Deactivated] on 03/04/2018 - 23:45

        You can use a wireless mouse to turn it off.

          You can use a wireless mouse to turn it off.

          But not to turn it on.

      Phones aren't the only thing that use micro USB. I could think of heaps of uses where I have wanted to kill the power 2 a device (ras pi for eg) but have 2 unplug it, saves wear n tear on an already shitty connector type… Especially if u like 2 tinker around like I do, phone flashing etc…

      • xev on 03/04/2018 - 22:01

        USB fans and lights first came to mind.

        Always handy to have a nearby torch always ready especially in the middle of the night and a nice fan is always a good thing.

      you already have a free switch. it's where you plug it into the wall.

      core electronics sell these for 2.85 if anyone wants a local one

        Or something basically the same from Aliexpress for $1.12 USD in case anyone spots this deal after it's over and wanted one as well - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Raspberry-Pi-Power-Cable-wit…

        I've been getting my aliexpress deliveries in ~2 weeks recently, sometimes as soon as 1 week/5-6 business days (not sure how that's even possible - Australian stock???). Last few times I've ordered from Zapals it's taken months for arrivals :/

        • petry on 03/04/2018 - 22:12

          let me see over $1 v under $1 same delivery cost.

          vagaries of delivery time…….. oz bargain = pay more for maybe on a good day it comes quicker or may be not….

        My power outlets don't have switches on them.

        Not everyone's power point is easily accessible. eg Mine is behind the bedside draws

    • dufflover on 04/04/2018 - 00:01

      Given the notorious short life of some cables and/or ports it actually gets quite annoying if you have to do it daily like I do for a bluetooth headset I have at my desk.

      One of those older devices where it can't be used and charged at the same time.

  • BoomTetrisForJeff on 03/04/2018 - 23:55

    could this turn on the bluetooth music receiver adapter from the other deal?

    • xev on 03/04/2018 - 23:57

      It would be good for anything which is powered be a Micro USB Cable.

      You can also by adapters for other connection types.

      • BoomTetrisForJeff on 03/04/2018 - 23:58

        oh i mean turn it on via the button
        edit: just realised it will only cut power not able to turn the device on :P

        • xev on 03/04/2018 - 23:59
          +1

          That would depend on the device.

  • solpiry on 04/04/2018 - 00:06

    Thanks OP. Got one.

  • dufflover on 04/04/2018 - 00:06

    Bit of a long shot for anyone to know, but anyone happen to know if this is a double-pole switch or (most likely) a single-pole where it just switches off the +5V rail?

    As mentioned in an above comment I have a BT headset that you can't use and charge at the same time. I have it hooked up to an old USB2.0 hub which has inbuilt power switches, but found even when switched "off" for me to use it there would be a slight buzz coming out of the headset from what I'm assuming is a noisy ground still being connected.

    • xev on 04/04/2018 - 00:14

      The only info I have is what is listed above, but it's only $1.31 so won't be a huge loss if it doesn't meet you needs.

  • AlienC on 04/04/2018 - 03:06

    First thing that came to mind was now properly controlled USB fans and USB lights but now I just need a micro USB to USB adapter for both.

  • IMadeYouReadThis on 04/04/2018 - 10:08

    does anyone know if its a low powered cable and therefore charging phone will be super slow with it?

    • idonotknowwhy on 04/04/2018 - 16:26

      If it's designed to power a raspberry pi (2.5amps) then it should not be.

  • diddy50 on 04/04/2018 - 11:20

    Turn on and off the NES and SNES mini?

    • tomsco on 04/04/2018 - 19:34

      They have power buttons?

  • Chridim on 04/04/2018 - 12:20

    I always wanted one of those for my mk808, shame the power connector is mini USB

    • xev on 04/04/2018 - 12:28

      You can buy adapters to convert it to whatever you need.

      • Chridim on 04/04/2018 - 12:38

        I thought so, but after 4 years in mastering the art of contorsionism to reach the switch on the power point, now I'm just waiting for a decent deal on a new android box.

    These work, but just be warned - 1m is too short to be useful, with these kind of cables, really.

  • bowdo on 04/04/2018 - 19:29

    I don't get it, it says coupon is for registered users only, I created and verified an account but still can't get the discount price.

    Whoops wrong thread!

    • xev on 24/04/2018 - 09:05

      Just checked and it is still US$0.99

      Check and make sure that your logged in, nothing else is in your cart and shipping option selected.

        No I meant to comment on a different post - sorry! Multiple browser tab bingo.

  • atlas on 07/05/2018 - 19:25

    I tested mine today with my phone and unfortunately it does not support fast charging

    • cloo on 07/05/2018 - 22:32

      Got mine today as well. Yep doesn't support fast charging (from a Samsung fast charger) but charges as fast as a normal charger which is good enough for me. Not as bad as some of the really cheap cables which take like eight hours to charge a phone.
