This is a great little device. Removes all of the unnecessary size and length of a USB OTG cable, which is perfect when trying to minimise the size of your Pi Zero project. I use mine for tidily adding a wifi dongle to my project. I will be buying some more for my other Zeros!

I used this to attach a Wifi dongle to my Raspberry Pi Zero; it is far more compact than using the USB-microUSB converter cable that comes in the Zero Essentials Kit. Product works as expected, no complaints!

I was expecting a large usb OTG adapter. When it arrived I was shocked at how small it was. It is just about as big as the usb socke itself. Fitting securely inside a standard USB plug end, there is just enough poking out to fit into the microUsb socket. Its a snug fit and doesnt easily come out. I am using it with a standard sized USB wifi adapter to make it fit a Pi Zero. Its been sitting in the vertical position, pointing down towards the floor, ever since fitting and has not once dropped out of the socket. Highly recommended piece of kit for RPi Zero users. It's great.

The converter is sturdy, perfectly small and fits tightly into a USB type A plug, it doesn't fall out, it's just what I expected. It seems good quality, and as small as it is I expect to loose it somewhere long before it breaks.
