When I haul my 27-inch desktop monitor into the garage to film fun gadget videos, or want to play Japanese SNES games with friends, or lose the AC adapter for my old external hard disk, I can now power them with a USB battery instead. None of them came with USB-C ports; the entire USB protocol was barely a twinkle in its creator's eye when Nintendo shipped the Super Famicom in 1990!
But a tiny programmable dongle from a company called Werewolf can transform old power ports to accept USB-C electricity. I'm so impressed, I just bought a second kit for a friend's birthday. With these dongles, there's no surgery required to add USB-C. You simply plug the dongle into the device's existing power port, and it negotiates the correct voltage and current from a USB-C power source, effectively modernizing your legacy hardware.
The dongle is small, unobtrusive, and works with a wide range of devices, from monitors to game consoles to external drives. It's a clever solution for anyone who wants to reduce cable clutter or repurpose old gear without investing in new equipment. The kit includes multiple adapters to fit different port types, making it a versatile addition to any tech enthusiast's toolkit.
