  Reasonably well. The magnets aren’t very strong, so the device in question pretty much has to be stationary while it’s charging, also, while most of them allow data, it is almost always USB 2 speeds. Right now I’m using them to charge headsets, a Logitech trackball, and provide data for an Xbox controller.

  I get them from Amazon; " magnetic USB charge wire" should be a sufficient search to get you in the ballpark.

  Just one more reason not to use Windows, As if forcing data scrapers down our throat in the guise of AI wasn’t enough.

  I’m disabled. Wireless charging, especially when I can use the magnets that auto locate the coil, is a huge win.

  (I also use charging wires with removable magnetic tips, that I leave in the device. But that wasn’t the question.)
