MicFlip: World’s First Reversible MicroUSB Cable

USB Type C Is fairly new technology and one can make the argument that it’ll take years before it becomes a standard. While many of us wait for that day to come, Winner Gear though it’ll be nice to have a microUSB cable that also has reversible design – a feature limited to USB C in the past. Enter Micro-Flip aka Mic-Flip (pronounced as Mike-Flip), the world’s first microUSB cable which “can be inserted to a device at any angle”.

It’s not just the microUSB end that’s reversible, even the full-sized USB Type A connector also has the same implementation. These plugs are joined together by a non-tangle nylon-braided cable which is available in lengths of 20cm, 100cm and200cm.

Both plugs are gold-plated, which Winner Gear claims to be “corrosion-resistant” and are each housed inside its respective aluminum case.

The Winner Gear Mic-Flip is proving to be quite a success as it has easily surpassed the company’s modest goal of raising $6,000PHP 352,113INR 508,499EUR 5,714CNY 43,670 for their product to enter in to mass production.

As of the time publishing, the New York-based company has already raised almost $59,000PHP 3,462,445INR 5,000,238EUR 56,186CNY 429,420 for their project with still two weeks left on their campaign. That being said, you still have time to support their campaign or be the first to own a Mic-Flip by pledging a minimum of $15PHP 880INR 1,271EUR 14CNY 109.
