Review on πŸ’‘ Raspberry Pi On-Off Power Switch Cable - LoveRPi (Female to Male) by Jeff Kickthedogband

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Causes brownouts and under-voltage

I use an *official* Raspberry Pi power supply to power both the Raspberry Pi 3 and the official Raspberry Pi 7" LCD. Never get under-voltage warnings with this power supply After adding this switch I get low voltage warnings (amber flash on display) during boot and shutdown and secure higher CPU load.Truth.This is clearly causing a noticeable voltage drop which has an obvious effect.Maybe Is this product "good" if it uses the official power adapter to power *only* the Raspberri Pi and no additional accessories at all. I'm not sure because I don't do this. I use my Raspberry Pi The switch itself is fine, the plugs seem fine, it clicks normally.

Pros
  • Good build
Cons
  • Safety
