Secret USB Cable Trick Hey, what's up guys?
Keaton here.
So, I think we can all agree that laptops don't have enough USB ports.
But I have a solution, so let's check it out.
So this right here is called InfiniteUSB, and it goes for $10 and also $15.
So, what I mean by that is the lightning one goes for 15 bucks, and the Micro-USB version
goes for 10 bucks.
And there's a bonus one, and I'll talk about that in a second.
But we can all pretty much agree that laptops, they're getting rid of ports.
We see it on the MacBook, and on my MacBook Air here, there's really only one USB port
there, and one USB port there.
And chances are, they're probably gonna be discontinuing this, and then I don't really
know that I'm gonna do.
I don't really know.
So, I actually picked this up on their site, and I got five cables for 100 bucks, which,
in retrospect, wasn't the best of decisions because you can get 'em for so much less on
Amazon.
So we're gonna go ahead and pop these all open here.
I mean, I did get a bonus cable, which you can actually get on Amazon right now.
So, I guess that is a little bit of a bright side.
But I spent a lot of money for no reason there.
So many cables, and there's actually a lot of fun colors you can get.
And I don't always say the word-combo fun colors, but pink, you got a lime green, you
got a nice blue.
They are fun colors.
That's really what it comes down to.
And then you get this gray, even the gray looks fun!
It's craziness!
This is the most fun color here.
Orange.
And each cable has a certain feature.
So this orange one here has a, my voice just cracked.
So this orange one here has a female USB port, so I could essentially plug another USB in
there, and this USB port here is free.
So you guys get the idea here.
But basically, you can buy a bunch of 'em, put 'em in your backpack like I do, and then
when you travel, you just slot 'em all together.
And you never run out of cables or USB ports.
So I'm gonna show you guys my ideal combo and then install it on my MacBook Air.
So, I always keep around three with me in my backpack.
And honestly, this is just one of those good solutions you throw in the backpack, you use
it when you need it, and that's pretty much it.
Usually, two USB ports will cover you if you're just doing some light stuff.
But there are some times where I need to charge my phone, use a mouse, recharge headphones.
It does happen.
You can't tell me it doesn't happen.
So, I always get the pink one here, match it with the orange one, and then match it
with the blue one.
So essentially, we'll set the other two fun colors aside.
Essentially, I have an actual USB port, a Micro-USB cable, and then a lightning.
So, I can pretty much charge everything.
And you get that USB port open here.
So, let's install this on my MacBook Air here.
Plug it in.
One of the easiest things you could possibly do.
And then from there, we got a ton of cable action going on.
And the nice thing about these cables is they are flat cables, so they're pretty sturdy.
They're not gonna break, and they won't get tangled in your bag.
That's nice.
I don't know why all cables aren't flat.
It's 2016.
So, let's go and plug some stuff in.
We got my flash drive here.
We'll plug that into the orange one.
Micro-USB, we'll plug into the Batman edition S7 Edge.
If you haven't seen that video, check it out right up here or links below.
You can see it's charging there.
My iPhone 6S Plus.
Boom.
We're charging.
We got everything.
And you get that extra USB port open there.
And then of course, the USB port is still open over there.
So, it's really nice.
I have been loving these.
And for only $9-15...
They couldn't have made 'em both the same price?
For that much money, you just get one of 'em, and you now have a cable to charge your phone,
and you still have your two USB ports open.
At this point, guys, we're on track to not have any ports on laptops.
So, it's sad that it's come to this, but it has come to this.
Hey, this is a pretty good solution, and it's not too expensive.
Now I'm gonna go super crazy here just because I can.
I'm gonna plug in all five of 'em.
Craziness is going on.
And as you can see, we got something insane hanging off our laptop.
Now, of course you can probably see this, and this is just with anything you plug into
USB ports, if something is hanging off, like a flash drive or something as crazy as all
five of these, and you happen to knock it or whatever, chances are you're probably going
to break your USB port on your laptop.
And that is not fun.
I'm just warning you, so probably have a max of two of these in at a time.
So plugging in all five, we got an extra USB port, so we'll charge my Pebble watch.
And then I got another green one, which I'm running out of things to plug in here.
So, you can tell this thing's awesome.
So yeah, seriously go and pick one of these up.
Even if you just get one of 'em, you can charge your phone and still have two USB ports open,
at least in my case.
And the only sucky thing is they don't sell the extra USB cable ones on Amazon, so you're
gonna have to go buy the $100 kit like I did on their website, which is okay.
If you want to go and do that, do that.
But chances are, if you pick up a few, you're gonna be all set.
So that's pretty much it for this video.
