This spaceman dongle bridges iOS, Android, and Windows for seamless cross-platform integration
Are Apple and Windows users truly from two different planets? This dongle says otherwise.
Taiwanese computer accessory brand j5create has created a cute spaceman dongle that bridges iOS, Android, Windows laptops, and tablets into one.
The company markets it as a “touch collaborative sharing dongle,” but that description barely scratches the surface of its full feature set.
To cross-platform infinity and beyond
j5create CrossLink Wireless Dongle (JUAW22).
Effectively, the JUAW22 AERO DROP CrossLink Wireless Dongle can do the following across Windows, iPadOS, iOS, and Android:
- Cross-platform file sharing
- Screen mirroring of phone onto laptop
- Keyboard and mouse sharing
- Turning tablets into a second display (by extending or mirroring)
- Using an iPad as a stylus drawing pad for other platforms (such as Windows)
One dongle covers all these platforms and user scenarios.
With this combination, the JUAW22 alleviates several cross-platform hiccups in a single device. With your Windows-based laptop or desktop as the main interface, you can connect and access files from your iPhone, iPad, Android tablet, and Android smartphone, while using a single keyboard, mouse, and stylus across larger screens. It also eliminates the need to buy a portable display, as a tablet can serve as one in its place.
The installation guide for the little astronaut dongle.
The dongle has both USB-C and USB-A connectivity, allowing it to work with most Windows laptops. To prepare your devices for this dongle, you’ll need install the software on your iOS/Android device (via the app) and on your Windows device (via the Microsoft Store) before any of these interactive tools can be used.
What’s also fascinating is that the JUAW22 is only 30.5mm tall and weighs 34g, making it portable enough for hotdesking users. It doesn’t require a dedicated AC/DC power supply since it’s a USB device, and it doesn’t need charging because there’s no battery inside. We appreciate that the dongle is shaped like a little astronaut, too, as that helps to make advanced interoperability feel approachable to a wider group of users.
