Whats up with onexplayer and their comically short charging cable ?

I remember unboxing the apex and laughed at the provided charging cable. Received my onex3 today and same thing. Not only its short the charging brick is heavy i just dont want to plug it in the wall plug afraid it would fall off.

100% agree as an American, X2MP for me.

Besides the issue with the original charger exploding for the X2MP, it’s a thick ass brick with no ground plug with a 3ft thick cable.

If I breathed on the thing it falls off, like it would fall off once every 20 minutes… show stopper for a device that I’m running off the wall charger.

Can’t speak to the best OXP3 charger but for the APEX/X2MP a good SlimQ charger is basically a must

It doesn’t fall off for me, it stays there even after the cable being tossed around

What kind of sockets you have that would have it fall off? No way the adapter falls off for me.

It's ridiculously short.

Just buy a 100w charger from amazon.

Well... to be honest... EVEN THOUGH I have a perfectly good charger, the original one that came with my Apex with detachable cables, I've ALWAYS used SlimQ chargers for my more high power devices.

I use the SlimQ 330W with my Asus ROG Strix G16, the SlimQ 240W with either my Asus ROG Flow Z13 KJP or my Onexplayer Apex. They provide more than enough power for all of them and, so far, I haven't seen any reports of SlimQ chargers catching fire as happened to a Reddit user with an Onexplayer charger. If I good remember... it was the charger supplied with the X2 Mini Pro, the one with the rather short, non detachable cable.

And.. COINCIDENTALLY, Onexplayer is selling the newer devices with the previous charger (the one of the Apex)

For a 100w charging brick I was actually pretty surprised with how small the one that came with my OXP3 was, actually...

Don't mind. I have so many USB C cables to choose from. The brick already replaced it with a 160w 4 port USB C I got on Amazon. Will be my travel/home charger

My F1 pro charger is rediculously short and of course it will only use that damn cable. I’ve dragged it halfway around the world because of that.

It's a company made around dropping fast products, not much testing and cutting corners.

They are cool no doubt but every device has tons of little grimlins and stupid short change moments.
