this is a replacement for a normal (non gold) USB, which bent and the tip, will the gold plating cause this to be weaker than a normal USB?

Doubtful, the gold plating is good for reducing corrosion. If both are corrosion free there shouldn't be any difference. PS most higher quality connectors are at least gold colored, some are actually gold plated.

It shouldn't. Plating is only a thin layer bonded to the surface of the connector.

anyone with the adapter, can you help? I need to know if the tip is center-positive? thank you for your time!

Mine broke when used on a Flexi. I used a zip tie instead. the zip tie dug into my hand. I now use a zinc plated key ring instead works wonders!

Hi there, only to let you know that I bought 2 of them about 2 years ago I have replaced both with other brands, because a usb port failure. My advice find another brand. Thanks

I had no problem with mine, on several machines. The insert section is shaped a little differently than other USB connections, primarily because cage around the connectors isn't all the way like in other devices. As silly as it sounds, I did try to push it into a network port, which looks the same from the wrong angle.

Well, I've always treated my gadgets very very carefully (I have flash drives from 2007 that still work lol). That said, this one broke quite easily and doesn't fit well in all USB ports. Also, it suddenly disconnects/ejects/unmounts for no reason. When I bought it it as ok but that lasted a week or so :S

I would think so since the tip is replaceable. Their might be a manufacturer's defect.

It's a very very thin layer of Gold. It would most likely wear off quickly...Look don't touch

the magnet tip is not strong enough to damage any electrical devices or cause EMI. it is only strong enough to hold a very small screw like those on an iphone.

The extra point from the usual two is for a microphone, enabling you to use headphones that have a built in microphone to talk on the phone. As for the gold plating I would assume it has to do with sound quality. I can assure you this product didn't change the sound quality when I used it.

Sort like a 3.5mm sized tip it is a little thinner and has a USB end. I think if you don't have the exact same version the charging tip will not work. I noticed bludio has product specific charging cables. So I would not recommend buy this for charging replacement.

No idea. I doubt it. My son gave me a stylus that he had gotten as a promotion, and the rubber tip just wore through and had to be thrown away. If you find out differently, I'd like to know.

The AGPtek does NOT use a pin type or USB connector. It has a standard telephone type plug just like you would find on a hardwired telephone. The headset itself is sturdily built and short of sitting on it I'm not sure it would be easily damaged.

The one I received (New York) has a yellow, 2mm diameter tip... It is fragile, so care should be taken that it is 'stable', but an absolute MUST for running multiple USB devices on a portable device (I have an Asus Transformer 700t)

When in use my Mac reads that I unpluged or remover the drive without ejecting the drive first. In fact what is happening the CHEAP plastic usb housing is so lose that it slips and disconnects witch tell the computer that I unplugged it or did not eject it before ejecting it. It momentarily unmounts the quickly mounts aging,, unfortunately you lose the data you were transferring. Best to spend a few $$ and get something with a metal usb mount.

Safer unpluging the usb when you are not planing on using the keyboard for a while. Thats so you would not accidentally bend the usb wire head.

Mine died (the USB) and I sent it back for replacement. No problems since. That has been 6 months ago. I think they had some issues that may have been corrected.
