Review on MazerPi Raspberry Switch Indicator Supply by Jojo Howell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Reviews are confusing, product is a great switch for Raspberry Pi 4.

You will not receive exactly what is advertised in the photos and information above. Sealed switch with LED indicator? nope The switch, which comes without an LED indicator, still feels very good and makes a positive click when turning on and off. This is a good switch, I have no complaints. It snaps securely into my Type-C USB cable and into my Raspberry Pi. It's nice. So I think it's well done. I can't believe all the reviews from people who have no idea that USB 2.0 and USB Type-C are completely different products. USB 2.0 used to be a 5V DC charging cable, and it was. Just plug it in and you'll get 5V DC no matter what. USB Type-C uses an intelligent chip to tell your USB Type-C port what voltage it needs. It can adjust the voltage to 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V or over 20V DC. The system is completely different and it seems like a lot of people can't figure out how Type C works right now. I'd recommend if it's confusing to just get a wireless charging stand and not mess around with cables and just pop the phone on a wireless charger and you're done. As for the Raspberry Pi 4 and other Rasperry Pis, this is a great power button! I use it on my Pi 4 as you can see in the photo below. Now I don't have to wear out my USB port by constantly plugging and unplugging it! A great idea! I got 4 packs for $11! Very important! Nice design and really good quality! Excellent work!
