I like it. It has almost everything you could need.

Let me tell you a story (more details in the review form below). A few weeks ago I bought an 8-in-1 version of this product made by the same company (Totu). I think it's great. I love it. I used to use a few smaller keys between my MacBook Pro and Chromebook, but something happened the other day that made me carry this larger key in my travel bag and use the smaller one exclusively in my home office. I had a presentation at the university. campus and connected an HDMI cable from their state-of-the-art projection computer system to an 8-in-1 adapter. Big! But later, in a breakout session, I had to give another presentation in a different class. I opened the laptop and pulled out the key to find that the system in this new room only accepts VGA. I don't use VGA anymore. I don't have any monitors or devices in my home/office that use VGA, but sometimes you see it anyway. Actually I lied. I have a projector that uses VGA that I haven't used in a while because I didn't have any adapters. This 11-in-1 dongle adds a second USB 2.0 port, a headphone jack and a VGA port compared to the 8-in-1 dongle. It fits perfectly in my presentation bag. It is only slightly larger than the smaller key. This one has a metal body all the way around and comes with a nice carry case which it is now in as I prepare for my next presentation. That looks great. The processing also feels good. The body does not bend; it looks like a solid technique. Earlier this morning I had hooked up an HDMI monitor in my office, a Logitech receiver for my mouse, a micro SD card, an external drive to transfer some files, and an ethernet cable. Everything worked as expected. I think the only minor issue is that the headphone jack is on the opposite side of the VGA port. So if you're using one of those VGA/Audio cables (like I have for my aging projector), you'll need to plug it into opposite sides of the dongle. Also, the SD card (used yesterday) doesn't fit as far into the slot as I'm used to when using it with laptops etc. So be aware. It doesn't affect performance or anything like that. Anyway, it doesn't make a difference to me, but I thought I should mention it. In any case, I have a feeling that the VGA port will come in handy again today, so I'm glad it's arrived.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
