Review: The BEST PiZeroW Expansion/Breakout/Dongle kit by far! - *UPDATE* I have removed my original photos, which showed this dongle in use during initial setup of my PiZeroW(before I had a wireless keyboard+mouse, AND prior to me setting up VNC and SSH) and added photos in its current use case. Its plugged into my ASUS RT-AC1900P running PiHole(will also likely be running HomeBridge in the near future). As you can see, while plugged into the USB 2.0 Port in my ASUS 1900P, its certainly drawing enough power to run(I mention this because I have heard some routers limit USB power to 500 mA). Another FANTASTIC feature of this breakout dongle, is that its reversible, so you can plug the USB into the port EITHER WAY. That helped me in my use case, because I also have a USB 3.1 Flash Drive in the ASUS 1900P’s USB 3.0 port for personal cloud storage. The PiZeroW can fit even with the Heatsink facing the Flash Drive, however, theyre basically touching with almost no space between them, and that also causes more concentration of heat, with the Dongle Breakout USB kit turned the other way, the heat dissipation is far better. This ASUS router(and most ASUS routers for that case) are KNOWN to run WARM, and even with that, the PiZeroW runs below 40 degrees Celsius at all times unless under very heavy load like running Rasbian updates. Utilizing the USB port on the router also minimizes the distance WiFi has to travel since everything on the network is filtered through PiHole(while this didnt make a huge difference from its previous location, elsewhere in the same room as the router, it did make a small improvement and adds piece of mind that its in a safe place that wont be touched or powered off). This USB Dongle Expansion Breakout kit for the Raspberry Pi Zero W is absolutely fantastic! Although there are near no instructions to speak of, if youre the type of person who owns Raspberry Pi’s, you shouldnt have any problem figuring out how to assemble this kit. It looks great, was easy to assemble(even without any real instructions) and makes powering the PiZero 1000x easier. While there were no assembly directions to speak of, the ‘instructions’ that it does come with, give you 2 very important things to do in order to set it up to pull power from the USB-A rather then its MicroUSB port, as well as setting up SSH incase you havent already done that, so that is extremely inportant. Simply Plug it into any normal USB-A 5V/2.4A charger and youre good to go. Almost everyone will have a charger that meets these specs, basically if you have a phone or tablet charger that is more then 1amp, it will likely be 5V@2.4A. Not only does this make the PiZeroW easier to power up, it allows you to simply plug it into almost any USB charger and forget about it. If you need to do anything, SSH in, or set up VNC server...so no cables are needed the device will just sit on its own anywhere(currently mine is plugged into my router, but originally I had it plugged into a 12W iPad charger in the same room as my router). This kit is also great, because rather then wasting money on a ‘Basic Starter Kit’, ‘Complete Starter Kit’ or anything of the like for the PiZeroW, just buy the standalone board, a MicroSD card, and this kit, all in all it will run you around $20-$25 and you have everything needed to get going, and save yourself the unneeded case, power supply, cables and dongles. Some may choose not to attach the heatsink to their PiZeroW when using this kit, but I find that this chipset does get quite hot/warm being that its extremely small, and not an overwhelmingly strong processor, so I did apply my heatsink to help with cooling. For people who will be constantly moving this Pi, maybe its not for you, but for someone like me who will use it to run Homebridge and/or PiHole, it will be stationary, and cooling is more important then 2-3mm height difference. I cannot recommend this kit enough, I know for me, every single PiZeroW i buy moving forward will be a stand alone board and MicroSD card accompanied by this kit, no question. This design beats having a case and wires running everywhere hands down...in my opinion theres no point in having such a small form factor ‘computer’ when it has bulky peripherals and wires running all over from it. JUST BUY IT, YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!
Review: Wonderful little addition to raspberry pi zero - This is a great addition to a raspberry. Pi 0 adds much more functionality, easy to use highly recommended. Lots of fun.

## Features

- - Both front and back side can be inserted
- - Stable and fast
- - As we know that Raspberry Pi Zero is very tiny, and it does not have standard USB port to connect your standard USB devices, so it may hard to access like other Raspberry Pi version.
- - Most of you are likely to access Linux OS via SSH service. Our long term goal will be to use SSH over USB. This means that we have to configure Raspbian to treat the USB port like an Ethernet port. it can make your Raspberry Pi zero became a USB stick to your computer, so that you can access your Raspberry Pi easier than before.
- - It’s high qualified and easy to assemble, you can make your Raspberry Pi Zero became a USB Ethernet dongle in minutes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful little addition to raspberry pi zero
*by O***S on February 15, 2026*

This is a great addition to a raspberry. Pi 0 adds much more functionality, easy to use highly recommended. Lots of fun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The negative reviews are unfounded
*by F***N on December 20, 2022*

This case works perfectly. I did not have to modify it in anyway. Just opened up the package and screwed it together as pictured above and it worked immediately. Very convenient to have this to plug into the glovebox of my car rather than a whole case with a dongle USB cable. It's durable and well made and came with everything you need (except the RPi) to get going. For the people who wrote bad reviews, you must not be assembling it correctly. The mental contacts on the bottom have to line up with the contacts on the board. If you install it the wrong way, it won't make contact with the board and won't work. You can buy this with confidence and know that it works great. Cons: As some others have said, the blue light does not turn off and I don't know of a way to disable it short of removing the diode. Fortunately, this will be in my glovebox and it won't matter, but if this was going to be somewhere that it would bother me, I'd look for an alternate case.
