“I've been looking for a tool like this for a while. Being able to utilise my existing HDMI cables without buying another version is extremely useful.”

“I guess this is a must for many Pi Zero projects, but I wonder about its durability. For that price, though, that'll probably be a minor issue.”

“Excellent, well priced, and extremely small and unobtrusive, mico-to-full USB connector. Ideal for connecting a USB wifi dongle to a raspberry pi zero.”

“This is a tiny adapter to allow standard USB leads or devices to plug into a micro-USB socket. The 'fat' end is completely hidden inside the USB plug on the device being connected, leaving the micro-USB plug sitting proud to plug into the device. This makes a very tidy way to use standard USB peripherals on, e.g. a Pi Zero: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CasjH8aW8AA5H_0.jpg The 'fat' end is a very tight fit inside the USB plug, needing a lot of force to push in and I was fearful of snapping or bending the relatively fragile micro-USB end. I found that using a pair of pliers to support the shoulders of the adapter (trying not to squeeze the pliers and thus damage the micro-USB plug) made it easier to apply the necessary force.”
