Cable management and clean desktop enthusiasts would love this USB-C cable.
Bends AND rotates(!)
Should be a hit with Steam Deck owners.
As a steam deck owner - I am definitely interested. I'm currently rocking a 90° adapter I got with an aftermarket charger.
I use a 180° adapter, and I love it. Makes the cord go down from the Deck rather than up or back. Also makes it easy to set the Deck down on a flat surface.
Ditto! Plus a Y cable so I can run an SSD at the same time as charging.
Looks very similar to a Chinese rotatable magsafe cable you can find on AliExpress. The wattage is higher at 240 but the rest is the same.
This is actually seems like a useful product. My most heavily used USB-C cable is pretty beat up.
USB 2.0 speeds are not optimal, but this is understandable considering this seems to be squarely aimed at smartphones.
It's probably not just possible to get the number of pins required for USB 3.x connected and still retain the trick swivel mechanism. Or at least not while keeping its little traces and wipers large enough to not just catch fire under Power Delivery loads as well.
It's increasingly difficult to get a smart phone to transfer data over USB, they're bound and determined to do it over wireless, one way or another.
So basically, it's great for charging and useless for most other things. I'm fine with that since I never use my charging wires for anything else anyway.
Oh this is awesome. Thanks for posting, will be great for laptop charging.
There's a lot of these on AliExpress already
Thanks, just ordered one!
