“Over the last few months I've had to flash SD cards almost every day for Pi Zero projects and writing. This has become indispensable for setting up Pis - it plugs straight in without a shim, will take a network cable (for zero config internet access via home router) and then gives three USB ports for a keyboard or mouse and a WiFi dongle. Once WiFi is set up everything can be unplugged and used headless. Get one so that you don't have to mess about with powered hubs, shims and USB Ethernet adapters.”
“A very nice, sturdy USB hub. It can also be plugged into a phone or tablet if it supports OTG because of the micro-USB cable. Then, it can be used to plug in keyboard, mice or flash drives or create a wired connection.
Altogether, it's a very nice cable to use if you type or browse a lot, don't like the default keyboard, want a wired connection or like using flash drives.”
