From laptops to portable gaming devices and smartphones, more gadgets are now using USB-C for charging. This trend has left many users with a clutter of chargers, making their desks look untidy. The Genki Moonbase is designed to solve this problem.
Efficient Charging Solution
The Genki power strip includes a built-in GaN charger that features four USB-C ports, which can deliver a total of 240 watts to various devices. The most robust port can output up to 140 watts, which is sufficient to charge a 16-inch Apple MacBook Pro, priced at about $2,250 on Amazon. When all four USB-C ports are in use at the same time, two of them can provide up to 100 watts each, while the remaining two are limited to 20 watts. This is still adequate for charging smartphones and numerous tablets.
User-Friendly Design
In addition to the four USB-C ports, the Genki Moonbase is equipped with three sockets that include lighting, making it easier to use in dimly lit areas. Users can change the color of the lighting with a specific button located on the side of the power strip. Genki also has plans to release a version with European sockets, but this will only happen if at least 240 people commit to ordering the EU model. If not, those in Europe who backed the Indiegogo project will get their money back.
Pricing Details
Currently, the Genki Moonbase power strip is available for preorder on Indiegogo, with an “early bird” price of $88 plus additional shipping fees and taxes. Eventually, the price will rise to approximately $119. The product is expected to ship starting in April 2025. As is common with crowdfunding projects, there could be delays in shipping.
