    This is actually seems like a useful product. My most heavily used USB-C cable is pretty beat up.

    USB 2.0 speeds are not optimal, but this is understandable considering this seems to be squarely aimed at smartphones.

      It’s probably not just possible to get the number of pins required for USB 3.x connected and still retain the trick swivel mechanism. Or at least not while keeping its little traces and wipers large enough to not just catch fire under Power Delivery loads as well.

      So basically, it’s great for charging and useless for most other things. I’m fine with that since I never use my charging wires for anything else anyway.
