nonda USB-C Mini Adapter

I've had other USB C products that feel loose, don't go all the way in the port, or don't go deep enough and consequently don't work well, if at all. This product fits very snugly (I'm sure over time this stuff loosens but nice it's not loose out of the box!) and it fits against the port down to a micrometer. It has a gratifying "snap" into place right against the machine and feels quality as well. Nothing moves on it, it's made of anodized aluminum end to end, and quite snugly holds on to the USB A accessories you plug into it. Not only that, this thing actually works. I have 3 USB C to USB A adapters now. One from here, one from Samsung with my old phone, and one from eBay. The eBay one basically only works with mice and keyboards. Forget about data transfer it flakes out and corrupts data. The Samsung one works for everything like this Nonda one does too, but the Samsung one is too fat and when plugged in it blocks access to the other USB C port on my system. This Nonda one is, again, down to the micrometer in size and you can fit two of these next to each other on most systems with dual USB C ports. In my case a Dell 5290 tablet but I also confirmed you can fit two in Apple systems too, since they use a standard distance on their product lineup from each USB C port. Things I've tried in this adapter: Mouse. Keyboard. 16gb flash drive. 256gb flash drive. 1tb Sandisk Extreme SSD, and an iPhone USB A to Lightning cable. I had no data issues after transfers and everything just worked. Great purchase!!

I have bought four of these so far, because I love them. As a MacBook Pro owner where everything should be Thunderbolt or USB-C, I found that most of my devices were not prepared for that jump. Enter this adapter. Anything that attaches via USB-A (standard USB most people are most familiar with), can plug into this adapter, and then the adapter plugs into my laptop. It's small, unobtrusive, and sturdy as heck. I keep a couple in my travel bag, and a few here and there around the house, so that I always have one fairly close to me that I can use if I need it. For MacBook Pro users (or for any other laptop users who rely on USB-C), give this thing a shot, it's a game changer. There also cheap enough that you could buy ones for specific purposes; ie: I have a thermal printer here and it only has a USB-A cable. I can leave one of these adaptors on that cable permanently - it's often cheaper than buying a new USB-C cable for that device, and it preserves the ability to move back to USB-A if the need arises. I just can't say enough good things about this thing; I don't write a lot of reviews, but this one deserves it.

I use this with my MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, and it works really well. It looks a little bulky at first, but it fits pretty sleekly in the computer. the indicator light is only on one side, so that is a slight annoyance, but not too bad. The color doesn't perfectly match the computer as it was supposed to, but it's pretty close. Fits snuggly against the computer so it looks good when plugged in. Seems like a quality product, packaging looked professional. made out of durable metal, but small enough that it is potentially easy to use. Other than the steep price, this is the best USB C to USB 3.0 that I have yet to use.With all that Apple is making us do buying new converters and such, this is one that I would definitely recommend.

I’ve been using this nonda USB-C to USB 3.0 adapter with my MacBook and other USB-C devices, and it’s been very convenient for connecting older USB-A accessories like flash drives, keyboards, and mice. The adapter is extremely compact and lightweight, making it easy to leave attached or toss into a bag without taking up space. Performance has been solid for everyday tasks—data transfers are stable, and it connects instantly without any setup. The aluminum housing feels sturdy and matches modern laptops well, which is a nice touch compared to cheaper plastic adapters. On the downside, the small size makes it easy to misplace, and it can feel a bit tight when plugged into some ports. It also gets slightly warm during extended use, though nothing concerning. This is not meant for heavy-duty or high-power devices, but that’s expected for this type of adapter. Overall, this is a well-built, reliable adapter that does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great for daily use if you need a simple, portable solution to connect USB-A devices to USB-C ports.

Reading through the questions I have to point at that there is no magic here. This literally takes a USB-C port and makes it into a standard USB-A port. Only the pins for USB-A are connected so for example the MacBook Pro's 12volt USB-C charger with this inserted will be putting out 5volt (standard, I measured it with a USB tester). Matter of fact in my brief testing the device may even loose the data connection required to request higher amperages. Putting this adapter in line with my iPad and plugging it in it was charging at 5volt 1amp, removing it it was charging at 5volt 2.3amp which is significantly faster (without it). Its a USB-C to USB-A device, NOT the other way around. It will limit performance to USB-A specs to anything its connected too. So if you have a USB-A male to USB-C male cord and you pop this on the end, you've done nothing other than waste your time. It will still connect to won't help you with anything USB-C related. However that isn't the intended purpose, it works very well adapting USB-C devices to USB-A. Due to the specs and backward compatibility with the USB standard having this adapter on your Mac (or whatever) is like having a USB-A on it. It has a very high build quality. The light on it is convenient too. I would recommend this product. Even if you are like me and have a couple hubs you keep in your bag this adapter is just nice to have....just in case....

I had no initial clue of how I would make out of this item. This item is very, very, very convenient. I am not kidding. Let just say that you want your MacBook to have access to your flash drive, and your flash drive just happens not to fit inside of your MacBook. Well, this item that I am reviewing is the perfect thing to get. You are not only able to place your USB inside of that small component but you are also able to do the same with phones as well. And it does not get in the way of charging the MacBook. Some people may think that the block is too thick and bulky that it may get in the way of charging the laptop. Nope. It does not get in the way whatsoever. The size is just right, not too big, not too small but just right. One of the best type C adapter that I have ever purchased. And the item is cheap. It is not unreasonably expensive and it lights up when plugged in. Oh, and it comes in different colors.

Update (2016-09-09) 5 Stars just for the responsive support My original adapter's USB-A female end had some issues - you had to insert it at a mid-point for it to work; insert it too deep and it will disconnect. I gave this feedback to Nonda's customer support, and they were extremely helpful, and sent a replacement. Today the replacement arrived and it works perfectly! Original Review (2016-08-30) 4 Stars It's nice, small, and quite sturdy. However, due to it's rigidness, sometimes when connecting larger USB connectors or devices it props the entire device up. With the weight of the entire device (plus your own wrists and typing force) resting on that, it won't be great for comfort/stability, or the long term durability of the socket and the adapter. Great design and portable, and really useful if you need a USB adapter on the go, but for long term use, use Apple/Anker's USB-C to USB cable instead since that has more flexibility and causes less strain on both the devices connected.

I love this adapter. It is totally worth it . It’s light sturdy, with a matte-type finish so there is no need to worry about finger prints. It simply works as advertised . It even has a little indicator light and if that bothers you you can simply turn it around with no problem since its usb-c this adapter serves multiple purposes. I use it for my 2020 iPad Pro and My surface pro 7 without a problem I use it to transfer files from a thumb drive, as an adapter for wireless mouse I have multiple cases for my iPad Pro. It works fine with the magic keyboard and it also works with the slim folio pro. It will not work with a case that has usb-c unless you manually modify that case to create space for it. Over this adapter gets 5 out if 5 stars.

A clean and simple way to attach USB A cables to a USB C port – works just as expected. On a MacBook pro, you won't be able to use 2 of these adapters side by side, but I have been able to connect another standard-sized USB C cable next to this adapter without any problem. Note that the cable locking mechanism is tight for both the male and female sections, which ensures cables don't accidentally come loose. The female port connection (where you plug in the USB A cable) seemed overly tight at first, but it's actually quite easy to remove the cable as long as you don't squeeze the top or bottom of the adapter (the 'long' sides). The status light is clearly visible but quite dim, so it's not a distraction in a dark room.

IT'S GOOD AND VERY USEFUL

Works a treat. Bought it to go with my Apple USB C charger to speed charge my iPad Pro. It allows me to carry just one USB charger that I can plug any USB lead into for charging, my bluetooth keyboard etc. This is a very well made, sturdy adapter and looks really good to.

Helt ok, men eftersom porten är så liten, är det läskigt att lämna den i datorn, glömma och sedan slå sönder porten om man glömmer och trycker den för hårt (mot något). Det är ingen fel på själva produkten, men man måste vara uppmärksam och snarare ta den bort så snart den inte används.

The product does as expected and transfer speeds are also very good. Def recommend it.
