    Doesn't work with Chrome OS

    The program that transfers files doesn't work for Chromebook and instead boots up the Mac one in an attempt to get Linux emulation to work but it doesn't. Asides from that for Windows 10 devices it does work and does what it's supposed to so yeah 4/5

    Just a standard USB cable - hard to find these days when everything seems to be USB C instead. Works fine.

    Ordered the wrong USB extension cable

    NOT for use as in extension cable when a USB A to A is needed for devices to extend length (like my Satechi 7 port USB strip that the cat chewed the original A<>A cord up!). This cable is more of a crossover cable for a Mac to a PC. I misunderstood the description when I ordered. I'll be returning. BTW I did verify that it does work as intended by hooking this up between my MacBook and Windows 11 desktop

    I bought this thinking it would work for charging a laptop, when I also bought a battery pack. It did not work at all but I dont think it was the cords fault... If I needed to transfer data, it would be great.

    This cable can only be used for one way data transfer. DO NOT buy if you’re using this to connect a peripheral to your pc, it WILL NOT work.

    Fair product but some App software hiccups interfering with desktop or laptop activity. Sometimes mice get confused or conflict with the others when moving files, sometimes even shut down an opened session or a explorer panel. Dealing with that Is doable but annoying, you get what you paid for.

    I had just purchased a new computer and happened to see this while I was looking for a USB 3 extension cord for my USB 3 hub. Works very well! The software is in the cord itself so there is nothing to download and install! Just follow the simple instructions and start moving/copying files from one to the other! Great for copying settings for browsers, email apps and such!

    It does what I needed it to do. The included USB C adapter wasn't needed, but is a nice addition, and may come in handy later.
