" ... My MacBook sit flush on a desk without any pressure on the actual adapter.the video works beautiful, I tried my Samsung 4K TV , Input power as advertised. ... "
" ... These new one all uses USB-C now. ... This will block the port next to it so plan ahead. ... Overall I am satisfied with this adapter. ... "
" ... If you have a newer generation MacBook Pro and miss the old MagLock power adapter design, this is a great product to replicate that magnetic style connector. ... "
" ... The Knaive KD3 USB Type C Magnetic Adapter feels like a well-made, solidly constructed item. ... The piece that is inserted into the laptop's USB-C connector fit nice and tight, and the piece where you plug in the charging cable connected to the piece in the laptop with a satisfying "thunk." ... "
" ... Just plug it in and see the magic. ... *** BIG *** Works connected between the Mac and the HDMI/ USB A/ USB-C splitter. ... "
" ... -Love that this is a CABLE rather than just a two-piece adapter set for an existing cable. ... -I plan on using this with a USB-C dock that I've ordered for my 16" MacBook Pro. ... "
" ... Great to have this functionality back on my usb-c thunderbolt 3 MacBook Pro. ... "
" ... This adapter has been such a revelation! ... What I didn’t know is that fixing a damaged port requires replacement of the entire motherboard and costs hundreds of dollars. ... This little adapter gives me such peace of mind! ... "

" ... The magnet is strong enough, but just like the old Magsafe it can still disconnect sometimes. ... "
" ... It has strong magnet that will auto align the pins in the 2 pieces together. ... "
" ... It is durable and fits well. ... "
" ... The magnet needs to be 50%-100% stronger to be perfect for my one of my use cases, my MacBook Pro. ... "
" ... As well as working properly, strong magnet,in any position, your computer too,easy to use. ... "
" ... It honestly has a pretty tight grip so I wouldnt worry much about accidentally snagging it off unless you plan to be moving it around a lot (ie on a bed). ... "
" ... The magnet also seemed strong enough where I had no issues with random disconnects. ... "
" ... Magnet is enough strong to hold cable ... "

" ... It is not as low profile as some of the pther chargers out there but the sata transfer and power delivery work really well. ... I like how it connects at a 90 degree angle as my laptop looks a lot neater when charged. ... "
" ... This cable supports both data and charging and still allows me to use the other usbc port. ... "
" ... It passes data, as well as Fast Charge - in both directions. ... "
" ... It’s a magnet for my charger. ... "
" ... I haven't tested it for anything but charging, but it works great for that. ... The magnetic strength is similar to Apple MagSafe and it has a nice light to let you know it's charging. ... "
" ... I also bought an extra copy of the female half of the connector so I could use it both for charging and as a USB 3.0 link to my PC for Oculus link. ... It works great for charging. ... "
" ... Works as described, and finally feel safer leaving my 15" Macbook plugged in to charge at home with two cats, or at work with drunk bands. ... "
" ... This fits and works perfectly for my Dell Inspiron 13 which has a USB-C charger. ... One final thing, it does have a little led light when there is power charging, this is super convenience since I dont have to guess or look at the power charging light on my computer. ... "

" ... I bought this specifically because I have broken several usbc to usbc cables when dropping my laptop or having someone accidentally catch the cord. ... "
" ... I found this item by chance when I was looking at magnetic cable for my phone. ... "
" ... It is still small enough and the cord is flexible enough that it still fits in my cord case. ... "
" ... As a bonus it turns the cable 90 degrees which is great if you want to game while charging as the cord does not get in the way ... "
" ... I was worried when I got an upgraded work laptop that something would catch on the cord and possibly break my laptop as my cord wouldn't break away! ... "
" ... I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase and will definitely get at least one more for my other lightning cables. ... "
" ... actually i received a 5ft cable ... "
" ... Pretty cool way to prevent pulling your computer off the table when you trip on your cable. ... "
