This is the adapter that goes the other way. It takes a USB-C plug and fits it into a standard USB-A socket, which is what you need when the laptop, the car stereo or the hotel desk is older than the cable in your hand.
OTG support is the genuinely useful part. A phone or tablet can act as the host, so a USB stick goes straight into it and you read the files without a laptop or a hub in the middle. Keyboards, mice and card readers work the same way, which makes it a small fix for a lot of awkward moments.
The shell is aluminium alloy over TPE, so it survives being rattled around loose in a bag, and the whole thing is 31.6 x 16.1 x 8.5mm and 6g. It carries USB 3.0 data, so moving a folder of photos or streaming a video off a drive stays steady rather than stuttering.
