Broken and cluttered

I really wanted to like it but it sucks. The port is drawing too much current for a dead device and this printer has stopped communicating with my computer. My phone loses connection after the first second or two after connecting. It's not a driver issue, it's just poorly implemented. I'll throw it away next time I open my computer. It's too expensive to charge my devices and it's not communicating properly. Look elsewhere, your devices are too important to be ruined by this card.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Add something

Possible compatibility issue.

Product looks good and professional (software and clear instructions). However, I received two of them (original and a replacement) and none of them worked. The card shows up under "Device" but the ports don't work (Windows 10 claims there are suitable drivers for it) and finally a hard system crash (within 5 minutes). Since there were (at the time of writing this article) two customer reviews that didn't report any functionality issues, I think it might not be a quality control issue, but a…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Appearance
