Update on Gearbest. They offered a $20 refund. Not sure if I am satisfied with that.

Hi all, need some help.

I just purchased the tablet only from Banggood. According to the specs the ports will be as follows:

1 x USB 2.0 <– Would this be a micro USB port?
1 x Type C port <– Does this replace the micro USB 3.0 port on previous versions?

I would be traveling immediately after receiving the tablet, so I just want to be prepared cable adapter wise. I would like to plug in a mouse and keyboard for use while traveling.

I understand that a type C cable is provided for charging. A charger is also provided but I guess I’ll carry an extra.

I have a micro USB 2.0 to full USB 2.0 port OTG cable. I’ll be using this to plug in a wireless mouse.

I will purchase a USB c to USB 2.0 cable for the keyboard.

There are 2 USB ports:
1. Micro USB
2. Type-C USB
USB to Type-C cable and USB charger are included. Unit only charges from Type-C port.

There is no charger included… just a cable.

The Banggood listing has a charger included, but maybe Gear best doesn’t.

Will update once I get the tablet.

It seems that the previous micro USB 3 port version had a faster emmc and DDR3L RAM. The new version, with type C port, has no advantage other than this port. Would this be correct?

Yes. But the port is no advantage. It has no advantage other that you can flip it in from both side, that’s it. It is also just USB 2.0, not 3.0.

The only thing the Type C port can be used for is charging. Nothing else. Not even OTG. Tried and tested.

Not even thumbdrives?

Also the reported changes to RAM type and storage add to the negatives.

Nope not even thumbdrive. I have a USB C adapter that I use with my MacBook and mi5 and when I connected it to this tablet, it doesn’t read anything.

That sucks pretty bad. I’m slightly regretting my decision now.

I received the tablet. Going through the preliminaries right now and backing up drivers and such.

I have a question regarding using the tablet with wireless accessories like a keyboard and mouse.

I understand that the WIFi type n reception can suffer if bluetooth stuff are connected. But what about a 2.4GHz Wireless keyboard and mouse? Would the WIFI signal suffer also for these type of accessories?

That is wrong. I can plug usb drives into the type c port using an adapter. Haven’t tested for usb3 speed.

My first post so ‘Hi’ to everyone.

I received the Cube iWork 10 from Banggood earlier today. It’s the one with the type-C USB port. It’s a really nice and well put together tablet. However, it looks like I have an overheating charger. It got super hot on the first charge and it stopped charging the tablet after less than an hour. It must have shut down due to overheating. It may be even properly busted as after waiting for it to cool down it still doesn’t work. Bugger.

Also, I noticed another slight problem but this is most likely purely cosmetic. It seems like there is something under the screen on the left hand side close to the USB ports. It is not under the screen protector it is under the screen – please see attached picture with the screen protector lifted. It actually looks like the screen was pierced with something very sharp and created a little air bubble around it. I have no idea what that is. It’s just a bit annoying as it looks like a dust particle under badly applied screen protector. Do you have a similar thingy on your tablet or is it just me?

Many thanks for your input.

Mine doesn’t work. Could be my port being faulty then. I could use the OTG adapter on my Mi5 so the adapter is definitely not faulty.
