What is the origin of your avatar Gimli? Is it a sailor using a sextant?
@Gimli: ah, I see you are a Jules Verne fan like that other ozbargainer, oh what's their name…. j something
do Xiaomi they have Usb C to Usb 3?
do a deer
did a typo
its elementary
are they really good? got one before and after 2 months it dosent work anymore
I've got quite a few and they're going strong. These ones have the resistor so they should be much safer than generics. They're good when you have HEAPS of micro USB cables lying around.
I'm tempted to buy cos so cheap, but can't find a valid reason for using one. Only usb c port i have is in my mi notebook air 12
If you ever get a Type-C phone it'll be worth it. I regret not getting Type-C car chargers and power banks thinking I'd never need them.
@Clear: that is a fair point thanks for that mate. At moment quick charge 3.0 is riding my socks on my mi max
Bought some, but how do you confirm that these have the resistors? I can't find mention of it in the product description.
Amazon review by Benson in my post covers it.
thats why they come in a 4 pack. should last you 8 months
fyi i have a 6 pack

Those who ordered this plus the free cable. Check your paypal account if you're actually charged $2.99USD.
Everything was showing $2.99USD even at paypal payment screen, but after paypal has processed it the paypal receipt shows $3.99USD was sent!!
Don't know how this is possible.
$2.99 US taken from my Paypal. What does your Zapals order history/email say? Perhaps message the rep?

I got that 3.99 when I chose the currency in AUD. But then decided to pay in USD so it is $2.99 USD for me.
How did Benson Leung become the authority and spokesperson for USB Type-C?
Why isn't the 'approval' named after the USB standard instead of some Chinese dude?
Does every cable have to get sent to his desk for this approval?
When Type-C first became mainstream manufacturers were not following the USB standard, so a Google Engineer set out to test them all and point out those which are not compliant.
These days most Type-C products being released follow the standard, but there will always be that one who will cry wolf with their sheep and say it requires Benson approval.
How does a google person have so much clout? Google aren't behind the standard. Was he just a guy who started a list and it became popular enough with users that manufacturers started trying to get his seal of approval?
I honestly don't care about the USB standard, as long as it does the job and doesn't damage my stuff. Benson says any Type-C with QC3.0 is not following the Type-C standard (because it doesn't allow proprietory quick charging standards) and won't get his approval. He recommends MicroUSB for Quickcharge instead of Type-C for no reason other than Type-C arbitrarily decided to forbid it. To me, if the phone is Type-C, then having QC3.0 is more important than one guy's approval.
He actually advised against buying HTC10 and LG G5 because they used QC3.0 + Type-C. It's also important to note that he works for Google and they have their own competing product, the Pixel which he obviously recommends.
He's a stickler for standards for the sake of standards. I just want the better product.
He was just a guy that got popular enough that consumers and later on manufacturers wanted his seal of approval. Being a Google Engineer and having a face behind the name gave him more credibility than others.
The QC over Type-C fiasco came around much later and blew up too quickly. The real issue was USB-A to Type-C cables and adapters pulling too much power and causing damage.
lol that benson.
thanks upside down ta
