Definitely should be part of your kit if you're working on things that need rebooting a lot. So much easier than messing with the plug especially when in any kind of enclosure

Great Cable does what it says on the tin, an essential 'upgrade'.

I hate Micro-USB with a passion, but given I have to live with it, this little cable makes my life a thousand times easier. Not much to say, but the button is super clicky and as a bonus, it has a little light that comes on when the switch is on.

Positive action, much better than pulling the plug every time you want to switch off. The female shroud could be a bit deeper, leaves some of the metal showing.

Proving really useful after only a few days during which I needed to repeatedly turn 2 RPIe3s on & off whilst sorting new images and trying out a new display. The switches obviously don't provide a proper shutdown before 'pulling the plug' but do save wear & tear on the USB socket and, for me, are more convenient than scrabbling behind a TV stand to get to the mains switch. Knocked off 1 star as the female end is a little too shallow so the male connector stays lightly exposed-shouldn't be an issue but still.
