“I was expecting a large usb OTG adapter. When it arrived I was shocked at how small it was. It is just about as big as the usb socke itself. Fitting securely inside a standard USB plug end, there is just enough poking out to fit into the microUsb socket. Its a snug fit and doesnt easily come out. I am using it with a standard sized USB wifi adapter to make it fit a Pi Zero. Its been sitting in the vertical position, pointing down towards the floor, ever since fitting and has not once dropped out of the socket. Highly recommended piece of kit for RPi Zero users. It's great.”

“The converter is sturdy, perfectly small and fits tightly into a USB type A plug, it doesn't fall out, it's just what I expected. It seems good quality, and as small as it is I expect to loose it somewhere long before it breaks.”

“Cet accessoire permet de connecter n'importe quel équipement sur les micro usb du Rpi Zero sans alourdir le connecteur pourrait se dessouder par un gros et lourd convertisseur. C'est parfait!”

“This is ideal for the Pi Zero particularly when you want to attach a USB cable that is longer than the short USB cables you often get supplied in the Pi Zero kits, its also handy to have for any other projects requiring a USB to micro USB connection, another example is a USB WiFi dongle where you do not want a trailing cable for remote access.”

“this is so good. you can plug normal USB devices into your PiZero. Yes there are adapter cables out there, but for an WifiDongle e.g. you don't want to have a cable wobbling around. Just one disadvantage (but this is more a PiZero Problem): when when you use more than one of these Dongles, it could be, that the 'real' USB cables do not have enough space and you cannot plug them in. but... thats not a real Problem, because you do mostly use one normal microUSB for power und just one Dongle and thats fine.”
