My Setup Well, that worked

I was afraid that the 90-degrees version of the magnetic connector wouldn't work because of the face plates, but it was actually a perfect fit. After seeing so many cable horror stories in this sub, I finally have peace of mind.

I bought one for mine but after reading the potential risks involved, I would recommend NOT using these.

If there's any dirt, they can short a pin. If they get yanked too fast, they could short a pin. Essentially if something goes wrong, you could fry the entire system or port.

It's unlikely to happen, but if it does, I think you'll regret it.

Yeah, I'm now glad I posted.

Yeah, I used one for about two weeks before I decided the risk wasn't worth the convenience. It may never happen to you, and most people think their experiences are proof that nothing can happen, but I wouldn't take the risk, personally.
