Works great, but it's better to have young eyes

First, let me put my concerns aside when ordering. The little button on the side does change the display format and does a few other things, but I don't need it yet so I haven't bothered with it. The trade-off of the device is compact size versus screen legibility. In the standard format, voltage and current are fine, but other useful information such as power is very small. I can get very close and squint a little to read them, but it takes some effort. I have no complaints at work. I've tried USB-C PD charging and USB-A QC 3.0 charging with no issues. Both transmit the respective protocols perfectly. As you use it, you'll quickly discover that not all chargers and all cables are created equal. For example, I found that a third-party PD-enabled charger could deliver 26W to my new iPad, which is much better than the 20W charger Apple provided (which actually seemed to have an 18W cap).

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are nuances
