4 out of 5 eggsGood for USB 2.0 not 3.0

Pros: Stable, good length, will work well for my USB 2.0 IR receiver.

Cons: Not appropriate for USB 3.0 as suggested by Newegg in its pairing upon ordering

Other Thoughts: It is what it is. Would be 5 eggs if it was not held up as an option for bundling with a USB 3.0 device. Not a big deal, just ordered a USB 3.0 version from StarTech for $12.59.

5 out of 5 eggsJust what I was looking for.

Pros: Right price
Right cable length
Good Weight on the base

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I was looking to replace the 10ft usb extension cable I was using with my Logitech mouse and kybrd dongle. Has nice weight on the base and the perfect length on the cable. Nice find for the price.

5 out of 5 eggsNice weighted base

Pros: The weighted base is nice as it is the only thing "connected to the PC" that doesn't move.

Cons: 5ft cable is 1 ft shorter than all other cables I have running to my desk. So, it makes it an odd location. Not worth an egg to knock off, as I knew that before buying as stated in the title.

Other Thoughts: Wish it was 6ft.

5 out of 5 eggsVery well made..

Pros: 5' length.
Stable female end piece.
Quality made.

Cons: I didn't buy this a long time ago.

Other Thoughts: I don't need to own this for more than a moment to know it fits the job needed.
I wanted better line of sight for my Mouse transmitter. This is awesome, it reaches nicely to my desktop. It improved my connectivity, no more poor signal.
I have a 3 monitor Eyefinity arrangement and it was blocking my mouse signal quality. The moment I connected this.. all is better.
I recommend this for any reason you want USB availability.
I am going to buy a couple more.. one more for me, and one for my Daughter. She will no longer need to go to the back of her PC.
Thanks for the quick delivery as usual Newegg.. I buy all my PC needs here.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks great!

Pros: I use it to stream video media from a thumb drive to a Western Digital WD TV Live Plus HD Media Player box. No apparent degradation in video or audio signal. Weighted base allows for one-hand connection and makes it easy to find in the jumble on my desk. Quality construction and substantial cord.

Cons: None.

Other Thoughts: Cord at 5' is just right for my purposes, but may be a tad short for others' requirements.

5 out of 5 eggsWorks like a charm

Pros: Great little extender with 'slightly' weighted base. Cable is decently long enough without being too long.

Cons: Would be a little better if base was slightly magnetized.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this to assist the USB receiver that came with my HP Wireless Comfort mouse. If I placed the receiver next to ANY other USB dongle or cable it lost signal. In fact, it would often lose signal if I placed the mouse on a metallic surface (like the metal keyboard/mouse tray that I use at my desk). This device allowed me to get the USB receiver at the perfect angle - and distance - to never drop signals again. Could also be used to help a USB WiFi adapter get a better signal (especially if you have one jammed into a USB port in the back of your computer, next to wires and other USB dongles).

Would be better if the base was slightly magnetized so that I could have better placement options (side of PC case, leg of desk, etc). I've read that there are other models that have such bases available on auction sites.

Still, this is a very sturdy, solid product. 5 stars.
