Pros & Cons
Pros
Using a raspberry pi 3 in a pidp-11/70 reproduction blinky light computer. Anker usb-c (male) to micro usb (female) adapter. This powers a 3+ plus a ssd without problems.
Northpada has an on/off switch with indicator light. On/off switch is a nice bonus. There's a nifty led beside the power button that lets you know when it's switched to on.
This isn't the official one, but it solves my problem. A power supplies to anyone over theofficial one or canakit's.
It has the same specs as this one, but as soon as i plugged this one in, the undervolltage issues went away. Since this one is a 3 amp charger, it provides enough amps to charge my iphone thru the wireless charging stand.
Cons
Low voltage warnings after a few weeks, on multiple raspberry pi models. Did not hold up voltage at less than the rated amperage. Clicking the button had no effect, nor did changing outlets. Perhaps another defective one.
Usb spec allows for -0. Don't buy this. Save your money and buy the genuine power supply from raspberry pi.
Highlights
Quality
The quality of the material used is also superb
Quality that will last so i am very pleased with this purchase all around
Need to get rid of my cell phone rasp pi chargers as they just dont cut it any more with the more powerful boards
For what its worth the adapter looks like its good quality
Packaging/appearance
Was what i was expecting nothing out of the ordinary in a positive or negative way
Was continually getting under voltage message on the console
Competitiveness
I am giving this adapter a 5star rating because it works perfectly with my pi3b and pi4b and the fact that it has a switch and an led
These were my first two and they worked great for my octoprint install and my very slow movie player project

If it had the prongs coming out the side instead of the face it would have only needed one

The bluetooth devices have their own power buttons but theyre 34push and hold34types that dont have a positive feel and there are no indicator lights on them to confirm 34onoff34 status

Its worth pointing out that the power buttons on these supplies are most convenient when the device youre using them with will remain switched on if the power to the device is cut
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Otherwise youll find yourself turning on the power supply and then turning on the device too
