“Positive action, much better than pulling the plug every time you want to switch off. The female shroud could be a bit deeper, leaves some of the metal showing.”

“Proving really useful after only a few days during which I needed to repeatedly turn 2 RPIe3s on & off whilst sorting new images and trying out a new display. The switches obviously don't provide a proper shutdown before 'pulling the plug' but do save wear & tear on the USB socket and, for me, are more convenient than scrabbling behind a TV stand to get to the mains switch. Knocked off 1 star as the female end is a little too shallow so the male connector stays lightly exposed-shouldn't be an issue but still.”

“This is such a good idea. For my most recent order I was getting things to set up a PiHole ad blocker for a friend, but I hadn't seen this product before. In the end I ordered one for each of us so I could also add a convenient on/off switch to my own PiHole setup. I know it's another expense, but for me it really adds to the convenience if you can't connect to your Pi and want a quick and easy way to reboot. The only slight downside is for me it adds a third bright light to my Pi setup, but of course it's useful to be able to see when the switch is set to on or off.”

“A good solution for adding a hard switch to a board without that option. The button is a domed soft cover over a push switch rather than a lamp style rocker which I expected. The picture isn't entirely clear there, it doesn't feel quite as robust as it might so it loses a star for that.”

“Thonny will not recognize the PICO with this cable. However, the cable works fine when the main.py program is already loaded on PICO.”
