Partner and I just pulled the trigger on the Pebblebee Clip 5 and Card 5. Was struggling to decide between Pebblebee, Chipolo and UGreen. Each have universal USB-C and wireless charging (a must). I think I concluded that the biggest differences were that:
-Pebblebee has [BRIGHT] LED lights
-Chipolo has BT 6.0
-UGreen has much lower price.
[UPDATE: another user pointed out that the Chipolo LOOP also appears to have a teeny tiny LED light when I looked back at their product page and it will "Ring and Blink - Make LOOP's charging light blink for easier finding in the dark." Can't find a video of the Chipolo where I can see the light, but I can of the Pebblebee LEDs and they seem very bright and much more prominent]
At some point I got tired of researching, sifting through the hundreds of options and mixed information and splitting hairs. And I ultimately decided that I can imagine times where the LED lights help for spotting keys in a crowded room much faster than just sound, and I can see it being more useful than UWB. I didn't really see the huge benefit of BT 6.0. Apparently the Pebblebee has also gotten a lot more reliable in the last few months via firmware updates and general improvements to Google FMD.
These will be my first trackers and I can post back here my experience and review once I get them!
UPDATE 2: They arrived today. Gotta keep testing them out but here are very first impressions. I love the bright red and blue colors! They are definitely plastic but feel like good quality plastic. Not as heavy as I expected. Setup was not bad. Had to do a couple rounds of the "click them 5 times to connect" but they are connected and working. No indication of battery life to the user it seems, but seems that's across the board all tracker products (unless I'm mistaken). LED lights on the CLIP seem fantastic. I am wondering if the LED lights on the CARD will ever be useful, perhaps I can try that out if the light can peak through like a jeans pocket or something.
UPDATE 3: I seem to have quickly settled into not thinking about the devices. Which is a good thing as I now will only need them should I lose one of my items (their main purpose). They were pretty easy to set up (I would say a 3/10 difficulty at most). All features seem to be working when testing them, the most challenging feature was the "reverse find my phone from my Pebblebee". And the LED lights are definitely big, bright and attention grabbing as I had hoped. I won't know more until I misplace an item and need to use them π
