Review on Pastall Raspberry Power Switch Female by Latoya Williams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Makes a lot of things easier

A built in power button for your Pi helps in many ways, and these switches are great. We used one of these on a Pi (4b) powering a 3D printer. When you have a Pi connected to a 3D printer, it turns on the printer's display even when the printer is off. This gives you a chance to quickly end that connection so the screen isn't on all the time. Of course, this prevents remote access to the Pi without having to go upstairs and turn it back on, but so far it's been fine. It also gives you an easier way to restart it after you've requested the Pi to shut down without having to unplug and plug the cable back in. The port wears out less. They are long enough to use. of it in so many ways and without a bunch of extra cables running around. The button feels solid enough to last (hopefully) for a long time without fail, and the rest of the cable feels solid enough. It has all the right positives of a good product!

Pros
  • Very good value
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
