I hope Sharke’s new retractable charger can fidget with him all day

Firstly It was revealed last December Through a Chinese retailer, New 65W GaN charger Now available globally. As the name suggests, the Retractable 65 features a built-in USB-C cable that retracts completely when not in use so you’re not scrambling to find one when your device is about to die. It’s available in white or black for $39.90, and although it comes with US-style folding prongs, it can be ordered with EU and UK port adapters.

The Retractable 65 can deliver a maximum of 65W of power with a single device connected, so you can use it to charge larger devices like laptops. In addition to the retractable USC cable that’s over 27 inches long, the charger includes an additional USB-C port. It can charge two devices simultaneously, but while Sharege didn’t detail how power is split between the two ports, the charger’s maximum output drops to 60W while using both.

The Retractable 65 joins a growing number of chargers and portable power solutions Features retractable cablesThis is thanks in part to the fact that most devices now support USB-C, so companies like Sharke don’t have to accommodate multiple different charging ports.

The big question with this trend is how durable are the internal mechanisms used to pull the built-in cables? As someone who loves fidgeting with gadgets all day (and who broke the spring-loaded memory card ejection mechanism on a Sony camera while fidgeting with it) I’d undoubtedly do the same with chargers like this.

Will someone survive accidentally snatching the cable and watching it go back to the charger all day like a tape measure? Sharke claims on its website that the mechanism can survive more than 10,000 retract cycles without breaking, but we’ve reached out to the company to get more details on the charger’s durability — including whether a broken retract mechanism is covered by warranty — and will update This story when you respond.
