🔌 Vilros USB-C Power Supply with On/Off Switch - Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4 & 400 Review

I can't believe how hard it is to find a cheap Raspberry Pi 4B power supply with a switch. So many other offers have tons of reviews about how they lie about the amperage supplied. I tried this for an hour on my RetroPi setup with emulated 3D and 2D games and didn't have a single crash. It does exactly as advertised. The switch feels quite heavy. The cable appears to be of good quality. At this price it's hard to complain!

No instructions, that's important. Do not insert the brass posts into the body first. First take 4 brass bolts with a hex on one end and a threaded rod and place the threaded shaft part from the bottom of the PI board to the top. Then screw on the knurled nuts. Then place the circuit board in the case, you may have to tip it sideways to insert it but it goes in, then screw in the small pan head screws from the underside outside of the case. On a typical computer motherboard, the standoffs screw

The switch and cable of this power supply are well designed and feel very solid. I also like that it's a toggle switch (although it's unlabeled) so I can see what position it's in (like it was before I plugged in my Pi). However, the power supply itself is very mediocre. It delivers enough power and the voltage is above the Raspberry Pi's minimum (4.7V), which is well above the government supply (mine hit 3.7A), but it lacks true under-voltage protection and won't get below that Minimum shut…

This charger does exactly what I wanted - provides a convenient on/off switch to control power to the Pi 4. I've used it for several hours now (and after a few cycles) without any or adverse problems. I personally find this very useful for dealing with a Pi that isn't "always on", so I plan on powering it down and powering it down. This charger helps me do just that without unplugging and plugging the Pi back in after turning it off to turn it back on. The phone doesn't recognize it as a valid…
