Machined Aluminum That Lives on Your Keys

Brushed aluminum shell

The body is cut from a single metal shell with a brushed finish that resists scuffs from keys and coins. The silver Type-C plug sits flush on one end, so the reader slides into a laptop port without wobbling.

Hot-swap with a blue light

The indicator lamp glows blue once the reader is working and a card is seated. The packaging lists hot-plug support, so you can swap one card for another without restarting the laptop. Eject the card from your Mac before pulling it out.

Built for the Type-C laptop

Plug the Type-C end into your device, insert a microSD or TF card, and check the lamp. There is no software step on the packaging, so it works as soon as the light comes on. Pair it with a setup if you want a second reader at the desk.

Questions and answers

Does it work with my MacBook or other USB-C laptop?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The reader uses a Type-C plug, so it fits any USB-C port on a MacBook or other Type-C laptop. Plug it in, insert a microSD or TF card, and the blue indicator lamp shows the reader is working.

Does it need a driver to read a microSD card?
w
Wanelo · seller

The packaging lists plug and play, so there is no driver to install. Connect the reader, seat the card, and wait for the light.

Will it read full-size SD cards as well?
w
Wanelo · seller

This reader is built for microSD and TF cards. If your camera uses full-size SD cards, you will need a separate SD reader.

How fast are transfers, since it is USB 2.0?
w
Wanelo · seller

It is a USB 2.0 device, so expect USB 2.0 transfer speeds. It is a good fit for photos and documents from a phone or camera card. For very large video files, a faster USB 3.0 reader will finish the copy sooner.

Can I hot-swap the card without restarting?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes, the packaging lists hot-plug support. Eject the card from your Mac first, then pull it out and seat the next one. Do not pull the card while files are still copying.

Is it worth it compared with a multi-port hub?
w
Wanelo · seller

A hub takes up a port on your laptop for as long as it stays plugged in, and it lives on your desk. This reader sits on your keys, uses only one port while you transfer, and removes the need to buy a hub just to read one card.
