The switch works well but is a bit bulky. The USB-male and -female connectors typically result in a chain: power-supply -> cable with switch -> additional cabel to RPi. It would be better to have the switch closer to the RPi.

Given that there is no on/off switch on the RasPi, this is a welcome addition to the product range. Preferably, I would like to see these also with micro USB connectors to be used for the main power switch of the RasPi.

I like the usb cable with switch a lot. For my Raspberry Pi projects it works really well and is the next best thing aside from a real shutdown switch.

The web page says "pick up a bunch". Well, I ordered two, one is in use and I am very pleased with it. I have mislaid the other :-( so I suppose I will have to "pick up a bunch more"!

The USB inline switch works just fine. I'm using it together with a wall-plug USB PSU and then a string of LEDs, wrapped round a mirror, so I can see my face when I'm shaving. Stops me having to pull connectors out to turn the lights off, or play with the (hard to reach) mains isolater switch on the wall socket.
