Akiba Spill] Magnetic microUSB cables that are easy to attach and detach are now on sale, selling for 1,280 yen

The microUSB-USB cable on sale consists of a detachable microUSB connector part and a USB cable with a magnet on the connector attachment part.

By attaching the microUSB connector part to the microUSB connector of a smartphone or tablet in advance, the cable can be easily attached and detached without worrying about the orientation of the microUSB connector.

According to the staff at PC House Toei, which sells the product, "The maximum power transmission current value is 1A, so it does not support quick charging. The same store also sells a timely "microUSB magnetic connector cable" (2,980 yen (tax included)) that supports quick charging (2.4A).

Even if you accidentally catch the cable while charging, the cable will only come off, so screw-ups (including me) who frequently break their charging cables should definitely consider purchasing one.

The price is 1,280 yen (including tax) for the no-brand model that does not support quick charging, and 2,980 yen (including tax) for the timely "microUSB magnet connector cable" that supports quick charging.
