Compact and Very Useful
Color: White
Nice compact version for smaller setups. Works well and the USB-C port is a great addition. Only wish the cord was slightly longer, but overall it’s very useful.

Nice but a bit awkward
Color: White
Kind of awkward to use but provides more outlets. I put it under my computer shelf so it doesn’t look bulky & it works fine. It can slip around from time to time when plugging in things but I’m living with it.
