Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

What these adapters do is enable you to use your hoards of Micro USB cables for your new USB C phone - probably a cheaper proposition than replacing all of your existing chargers/cables all at once.
I have tested both items that came (in the 2 pack) and both work for charging and data transfers.
Charging is notably slower than it is on the charger that the 5X came with, but that's not because of the adapters - it's because of my old chargers.
Other pros to this product are:
- They are cheap
- The connection is very tight on the micro USB side and mostly tight on the phone side
- The housing is small, so my case does not interfere with insertion
- You still get to keep your Micro USB cables/charger at hand in case you or your guests have Micro USB devices to charge, as well
Overall, so far, I see no down sides. Eventually I may upgrade to all fast chargers and new USB C 3.1 cables, but for right now this product allows me to salvage most of my investment in older Micro USB chargers.

Build quality seems fine so far and they are small and discrete. I'll see if it holds up after more uses. I have also purchased actual USB Type A to Type C cables, so those will be used more often. But these adapters will go on cables where I might need to use micro usb once in a while (such as in my car or at work)
Side Note: Nexus 5x and 6p do not support Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0 tech. Please be aware of this. You will get fast charging with using the included charging adapter and type c cable (up to 3A).
The physical form is pretty good. It is small enough that it fits in my wallet to have one with me at all times. It plugs in firmly on both sides and I don't have any worries about it falling out. The fit on the usb-c side in my phone seems slightly tight, but it still pulls out without too much force.
It doesn't seem to work with a couple of my usb cables. The same cables work just fine to charge my old phone, so the cable isn't completely bad. But the 5x won't charge with the same cables and this adaptor. The problematic cables are old and I've had this adaptor work correctly with many other cables, so perhaps it is something wrong with the cable, or perhaps the adaptor is a little more picky about what plugs into it.
TechMatte has been extremely responsive to my inquiry in the last month. They've contacted me and let me know that they were in the process of fixing their cables. They were also kind enough to send me an early engineering sample of the fixed cables one week ago.
This re-review of their Micro-B to C adapter is not of the engineering sample, but of the real production version that I purchased again from Amazon three days ago.
Let's get started on the spec compliance test. Once again, my test device is a Chromebook Pixel 2015. I am using a Chromium Twinkie USB PD sniffer/debug device, available here : Plugable USB 3.1 Type-C (USB-C) Power Delivery Sniffer
I have plugged in the TechMatte adapter to a USB Type-A to Micro-B cable that came with my Motorola Nexus 6 phone. It is plugged into the following 10W charger : Dell 10W Adapter Spare Wall Charger for Venue 8 Pro/8/7 (XDN34)
The charger, the cable, and the adapter are plugged into Twinkie, which is acting as a passthrough to Pixel. Picture attached.
Let's run the ectool command from Pixel:
localhost ~ # ectool --name=cros_pd usbpdpower
Port 0: SNK Charger DCP 4656mV / 1872mA, max 5000mV / 1872mA / 9360mW
Port 1: SRC
So far so good. Pixel is charging at almost 1.9A from the 2A Dell charger. It's correctly identifying as a DCP charger.
Let's check Twinkie:
> adc
CC1_PD = 417
CC2_PD = 15
The ADC command reads the current voltage values from the CC pins. As you can see here, CC1_PD pin has a value of 417mV. Referring to the USB Type-C Specification Table 4-25 Voltage on Sink CC pins, this voltage falls right in the middle of the range allowed for vRd-USB, meaning that yes, this cable has the correct 56kΩ pullup resistor!
Other subjective consideration : The adapter is nice and small, perfect for slapping on your most used USB micro-b cables. It's tiny, barely wider than the Type-C plug or Type-B receptacle. Very compact design.
In conclusion : The TechMatte adapter has been updated to fully support Chromebook Pixel and other Type-C devices that depend on correct CC termination! It is now officially futureproof for the Type-C generation and gets my full recommendation. I recommend this for anyone with a USB Type-C phone like Nexus 6P/5X or Pixel device.
TechMatte as a company has been very responsive and they've gone to great lengths to follow my advice at every stage. Thank you, TechMatte!
ORIGINAL REVIEW (10/29/2015):
I'm a Software Engineer on the Chrome OS team at Google on the Chromebook Pixel and Pixel C teams.
I bought these two USB-C to Micro USB adapters from TechMatte and found they do not work properly with the Chromebook Pixel.
Upon closer inspection by our engineering team here, we have determined that this adapter is not correctly following the USB Type C specification.
The specification can be found here :
http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/usb_31_102015.zip
Specifically, these adapters do not charge the Chromebook Pixel 2015 because the adapters leave the C-C lines floating, where the specification requires a Rp pullup to Vbus to identify the cable as a legacy adapter or cable.
Please see the document named "USB Type-C Specification Release 1.1.pdf"
section 4.5.3.2.4 for a description of why the Rp pullup is necessary.
Please also see Section 4.11 and the following note :
1. For Rp when implemented in the USB Type-C plug on a USB Type-C to USB 3.1 Standard-A Cable
Assembly, a USB Type-C to USB 2.0 Standard-A Cable Assembly, a USB Type-C to USB 2.0 Micro-B
Receptacle Adapter Assembly or a USB Type-C captive cable connected to a USB host, a value of 56 k'
± 5% shall be used, in order to provide tolerance to IR drop on V BUS and GND in the cable assembly.
In other words, since you are creating a USB Type-C plug to a USB 2.0 Micro-B receptacle assembly, you must use a resistor of value 56k' as a pullup to Vbus. This cable does not do this.
Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide about why these adapters are problematic.
If you are a consumer looking for a cable that is compatible with Pixel, do not use this one.

My only worry is they are very small -so easily lost I guess. But then you wouldn't want them to be bulky either.
I have suggested she tapes one to her powerbank charger cable ...which is one she is likely to carry around with her ...
- Doesn't support OTG.
- Doesn't show "Rapid Charging" but shows "Charging"on N6p.
