Works great but on computers and accessories

Works great with mice, keyboards and headsets but although I wasn't planning on using it for the Logitech G920 steering wheel it works but the steering wheel rotates almost 90 degrees left at the start of the race "Dirt Rally 2.0 VR". At a random point I probably did 20-30 races and started out of the blue and the only solution was to restart the game.

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • -

Great product, suitable for cables and connections

I used this product as an extension for my wireless mouse and keyboard. Before I received this item, there were many omissions and errors with my keyboard. Sometimes my mouse froze and I had to remove the receptor and move it to another connector. No longer! With this product, I can make the signals more direct by moving it higher. Thanks for a great product.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Waiting too long

Looks good but didn't work for me.

Didn't fit me. My male end would not fit fully into the extension. I wanted to use it for an external hard drive to keep away from it and my computer. The hard drive does not work with the extension. I left three stars because I can't be 100% sure that the problem isn't on my side. I will keep trying and update the rating if it changes.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Almost OK

Perfect fit for my TV in USB cables

Like most TVs mine has a USB input. Whenever I want to watch or listen to media files on my TV, I save them to a flash drive and plug it in. Usually the back of the TV is hard to access, so I plug this cable into the back of the TV and make a jack. easily accessible. That way I can take my flash drive and plug it in without trying to access the back of the TV. This cable is perfect. No complaints. I highly recommend.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Expensive

Doesn't work with my external hard drives

I've tried using this cable to connect various external hard drives, but it doesn't work with any of my three USB 3.0 powered external hard drives. I figured the cable might be too long to support a USB3.0 connection, so I tried using a USB3.0 Passport WD hard drive cable, bringing the total length from drive to laptop to around 7-8 feet and it works for a few minutes and then all of a sudden I'm getting shutdown messages. I've tried using it with a USB 2.0 drive and the same thing happens.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Long wait

I needed three of these cables to connect two long range USB Wi-Fi adapters and expand the camera PC. Both Wi-Fi adapter cables did the job. Helped improve WiFi reception by 50% on 2 desktops! (Wifi adapter in another review) I've seen reviews of these cables claiming that using them to extend a PC's camera affects their camera's performance. Not in my case. There was no noticeable difference. The cables are made of good materials. I recommend these cables.

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Good but not great

Very strong and thick wire

This basic USB extender from Amazon is just what I was looking for. It came in an ordinary rectangular box with just a cable and nothing else. The cable is very strong and thick. If you are looking for one to expand your USB devices, then this is a good cable. I had no trouble connecting a webcam to it. What I don't like, however, is the stiffness of the cable. It's not very flexible, so if you want to loop it around corners and turns, it's not ideal. I haven't had this problem because all I…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Big and bulky

Revain Basics is back on top

Very well designed and built. Works perfectly! It doesn't look like the cord and connector will fray or break. I have a desktop computer that I built without WiFi and I have a Wavlink AC1300 USB dual band USB 3.0 adapter for it that you can't hide in front of the computer door. the office cabinet is connected to the front ports, which are slower than USB 2.0 anyway. I use this cable to connect from the top of my desktop computer case to the USB 3.0 ports on the back. I've been building and…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

The USB device is defective. Try it as soon as you get it!

I bought this in October because my laptop is outdated and will shut down if I turn it off for even a moment. I have a Silhouette Cameo but the desk I use it at is across the office and I figured this cable would make it work better so I don't have to drag the Cameo from the middle of the room to the floor must lead. I have already mistakenly bought 3 types of connectors that didn't fit the ends which was a waste of money. Guilty. I thought HAH extension cords. Try to fool me now! Since I have…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automatic controls

Quality where it matters

For the price I paid, I expected a cheap, thin cable. This cable is really thick and strong, 3 or 4 times thicker than any of my USB3.0 cables. Can't tell how it works with a hard drive or anything, but I use it to power a USB 3.0 hub made up of a steam controller dongle, a bluetooth dongle, my wireless keyboard and mouse dongle and finally my golden headset Sony. the presence of some interference and the reduced distance for transmission and reception when the keys were connected to the back…

Pros
  • Sturdy build
Cons
  • Damaged
