Works perfect! Great price for a product!

Works great! I use them for my Xbox. I use one to turn my controller's battery charging cable on and off and the other to turn my hip shot point on and off. I had to tweak cables in and out of USB slots to eventually wear out. Not anymore with these. Very happy with the purchase, the product and would definitely recommend and buy again if needed.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • So-so

Ideal for lighting, Raspberry Pi and cameras.

Now I have several of these at home. I connected them to USB powered cameras so I can just turn them off when I don't want to monitor the room. I connected them to small LED lights that don't have convenient switches. My favorite way to use them is between my main WiFi router to quickly switch between my Pi 3 running OMV and my kid-friendly KoalaSafe WiFi router. They feel learning and I haven't had any problems with them yet.

Pros
  • Absolute legend
Cons
  • Useless functions

Easy switch in computer cable adapters

Electop, 2 pcs, USB male-female cable with on/off switch, USB connection I bought to use with the LED strip connected via USB . I have a strip under my desk and since I didn't want to unplug the USB every time I wanted to turn the light off, these switches were the perfect solution. to me they seem cheap but work as expected and there are two in the pack.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Power only, no data transfer. Actually no transmission.

As mentioned in other reviews, this is for nutrition ONLY. I bought this in a hurry, expecting to be able to power the Arduino on and off during development to avoid constantly plugging and unplugging. For example the performance aspect works well if you just change the wiring but can't transfer the code making it useless for what I wanted. To be fair, the description REALLY states clearly that this is not for data transfer, so I don't want to write a very negative review. But just in case…

Pros
  • Certified

  • Nothing

UPDATE: Problems with Roku Express. One of the two didn't work at all!

After ordering two packs only one worked. I was able to get a replacement from Revain customer service and now both switches work. As far as used with Roku Express, they work, just not out of the box. It displays a low power warning but works properly after about a minute. It's weird, but it works. As always, Revain's customer service has been excellent. UPDATE: So now the Switch isn't getting enough power for Roku and is stuck with a low power message all the time. The switches still work…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Something different

USB port on the scanner because the scanner has no power switch, but there are two problems: 1 ) The ends of the electop are for the large USB side of the cable next to the PC, which is hard to reach. 2) When connecting, the scanner did not turn on. I have tried another electop in the package in case one turns out to be defective. The same thing. Tried between USB charger and iPhone Lightning cable, no power. So, I re-read the product description and it says no DATA is transferred. Whatever…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • I will write later

ONLY power switch, NO data lines

After reading the pre-purchase comments, I found that a lot of reviewers didn't understand what it was or how it worked. How to explain what it does and doesn't do so you can buy what you need. The USB connector has 4 pins connected with 4 wires. 2 of these wires provide power to the device. And 2 of these wires carry data. You can actually buy special adapters that don't have data lines to protect your phone when charging from a public (unreliable) power source. Hackers can use it to attack…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • faded

This is an excellent product for turning on and off the USB cable connected to the device. It does not transmit the data that is stated in the product description, it just switches the power on and off. I tested both cable devices and both worked correctly as described. I plugged one of these into the USB cable running from my laptop to my laptop's cooler (which sadly doesn't have an on/off switch) and it worked as described by turning my cooler on and off, but then on this one Period My…

Pros
  • Several competitors
Cons
  • are unreliable

Useful intermediate USB power button

If anyone does not understand what this is for, I decided to give a review. If you have a USB powered device that is always on when plugged in, you can use this to add a manual power switch. Plug it in between a power source (be it an outlet or another USB cable) and the device itself, and then you can flip the switch in one direction to cut power to the device (turn it off), or flip the switch. switch to the other side and turn on the device (by turning it on). This can be useful if your…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors
