    Both also have USB outlets so no need for adapers.

    Technically, usb chargers are converters, not adapters. Also, I’d never trust the usb ports on a power strip. But hey, you do you.

        What? Schuko is an AC power plug. So no, it doesn’t adapt that to usb. It converts ac to dc and the plug is directly usb.

        Even if you think they’re “safe to use”, I doubt they have the same longevity, capabilities and protections that a proper GaN charger has.

          They definitely don’t have the sane capabilities, but I think I’ve be using the USB-Bs in my Ikea power strips for >8years now so at least longevity is pretty decent.
