USB-C all the things! The Werewolf VFLEX is a tiny programmable dongle that brings USB-C power to gadgets that rely on barrel jacks. I use it to make my desktop monitor portable, plug in my Super Famicom, and much more. It's not a buck converter: it uses USB-C protocols to ask your USB charger or battery for the right amount of power. Roughly $12 for a complete cable at werewolf.us ($8 for dongle, $4 for tip), or you can buy a set of modular tips and swap them out! Don't forget you can win our gadgets at theverge.com/TITW !
