Micro USB 2.0 OTG Adapter

This adapter lets a micro-USB phone or tablet act as a USB host. It suits users who want to connect flash drives, keyboards, mice or game controllers directly to their mobile device without a computer.

Limited to USB 2.0 speeds and host-mode support

The adapter uses the USB 2.0 standard, so data rates are capped at that level. It only works when the phone or tablet already supports USB On-The-Go host mode; devices without OTG capability will not recognise attached peripherals.

Plug-in installation with a common fit issue

The micro-USB male end plugs into the device and the USB-A female port accepts standard cables or drives. The most frequent problem is the host device not supplying enough power for spinning hard drives or failing to enter host mode because OTG is disabled in software.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a different OTG adapter if I need USB 3 speeds?

This adapter uses USB 2.0, so it works with flash drives, keyboards, mice and game controllers but will not reach USB 3 transfer rates.

What does the USB 2.0 rating mean when I plug a flash drive into my phone?

The connection tops out at USB 2.0 bandwidth, so large video files copy more slowly than they would on a USB 3 port, but keyboards, mice and controllers work normally.

Does the micro USB 2.0 interface limit charging or data when I connect a controller?

The micro USB 2.0 plug carries both data and power for OTG devices; it supports standard USB 2.0 current, so a game controller or keyboard draws enough power without a separate supply.
