The Baseus USB-c magnetic adaptor Elbow is not a piece of crap.

I really like GearBest, so I was kind of bummed out at first. (Vendor link below, and yea, my own money, this wasn't a spiff from gear best.) Everything else I have bought from them worked. Pilot error though, we just didn't push it in far enough. This is the unit here: https://www.gearbest.com/chargers-cab... This unit does exactly what I expected it should do, it just needed to be pushed in with a little bit more force, you know, until it clicks.
