Gear bought on Shopee, from charging and networking kit to label printers and car accessories.
The Kuxiu X40 Turbo Wireless Charging Station caught my eye on social media for being the only orange wireless charger I had seen, perfectly matching my iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange. Received as a housewarming gift.
After cycling my older webcams down to my gaming PC and nephew, I wanted one supporting Windows Hello for instant face unlock. The Logitech Brio 4K fits the bill, though Hello-compatible webcams are surprisingly hard to find.
The Anker 140W Charger is a four-port unit topping out at 140W, bundled with a 1.8m 240W braided cable and a foldable UK plug. I picked the silver version for S$60.27 during the 10/10 sale, down from S$85.90.
The Ugreen Smart Tag is a budget AirTag alternative at around S$14 that works with Apple's Find My network. To hit that price it drops UWB and NFC, relying on Bluetooth 5 LE, so precise finding is not possible.
A tour of my Ubiquiti UniFi setup, running off a bridged Singtel 10Gbps connection. With no room for a server rack and no option to ceiling-mount, I worked within those constraints using wall-placed access points instead.
Just two years in, my DYMO LabelManager 160 died with an unfixable label jam, so I'm done with DYMO. For under S$30 I switched to the Niimbot D110 portable label printer, choosing it over the similarly priced D11.
Charging on the Tesla Model 3 Highland's wireless pad runs slow and hot, so I prefer its USB-C ports, which output up to 65W. The Anker 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C 140W cable suits charging phones quickly inside the car.
After buying plenty of accessories for my Tesla Model 3 Highland (2025), I share my full list with prices. Most came from Taobao, which is far cheaper than paying the 'English tax' for the same items on Shopee.
The Ugreen 130W 3-Port Car Charger packs two USB-C ports and one USB-A, with the second USB-C hitting 100W for laptops. Lightweight at 45g and a little plasticky, I picked it up for just S$16.81 on Shopee.
I bought the Ulti Anti-Fatigue Standing Mat from Shopee for S$53, choosing the standard size over the mini. Despite owning a standing desk, I rarely stand, so this mat isn't really for me but for Li Xiang.
During 11/11 I grabbed the Sharge Icemag 2 Power Bank for S$74.90, down from S$89.90, to replace my fading Apple MagSafe Battery Pack. It is a 10,000mAh Qi2-certified pack offering up to 15W wireless charging, though heavy at 222g.
My one Black Friday haul: the Anker Prime 250W 6-Port GaNPrime Charger for S$162.29, down from around S$222.99. Most of the saving came from finally signing up for a MariBank credit card, which added an instant discount.
The Divoom Times Gate reminded me of the LaMetric Time I once backed on Kickstarter. Retailing for S$189, I paid around S$137 after sales and vouchers, choosing Gray for its orange accent, my favourite colour.
The Omron Body Composition Monitor (HBF-222T) retails for S$169, though I paid S$130 on sale to replace my decade-old Fitbit Aria. It measures weight, body fat, visceral fat, and muscle, then calculates body age and BMI.
The Aqara Wireless Remote Switch H1 is a battery-powered, 2-gang wireless Zigbee switch, essentially the wireless version of the Smart Wall Switch H1 EU. Compatible with Apple HomeKit, it retails for S$39.90 at Souky's stores.
The Aqara Wireless Mini Switch is a no-frills button offering single, double, and long-press triggers. Powered by a CR2032 with a claimed two-year life, I bought it from Souky's Shopee store for S$27.90.
Orange is my favourite colour, but Apple dropped the Orange Alpine Loop from the Apple Watch Ultra 2 lineup. I tracked one down on Shopee's authorised Apple store for S$101.76 after vouchers.
The Belkin BoostCharge Pro Portable Fast Charger for Apple Watch retails for S$90, though I paid S$64 on sale. Unlike my older third-party chargers, it supports Apple Watch fast charging introduced with Series 7.
My Hario V60 drip scale was laggy and bulky for weighing espresso shots, so I went endgame with the Acaia Lunar. Listed at US$250, I bought it from Daily Grind Supply for S$379.
The Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU is the third smart switch I'm evaluating, after MCO Touch Panel and Sonoff T2UK. I'm getting one to let Li Xiang compare tactile against touch switches.
Since the Ulanzi U-PAD III iPad mount only fits an iPhone in landscape, the ST-27 Metal Phone Tripod Mount is the phone-focused option. Solid all-metal aluminium with three 1/4-inch screw holes, I got mine for S$33.90.
During Shopee's 10/10 flash sale, the Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation) went for S$319 at an authorised reseller, with S$31.90 in coin cashback. Paying via OCBC Frank added another 6% back, making it a great deal.
