Chargeasap calls its new Miko the world’s smallest 30W charger. It’s so tiny that you can clip it to your keyring along with the bundled USB-C cable, so you won’t ever find yourself without a charger or cable.
Chargeasap Miko: The world’s smallest 30W charger?
Chargeasap is known primarily for its powerful GaN USB-C chargers. For instance, the Chargeasap Zeus delivers 280W of power, something that no other charger can match.
With its latest Kickstarter campaign, the company is taking the opposite approach. It promises to deliver the world’s smallest 30W charger, one that you can clip to your keyring and carry around with you.
Chargeasap says Miko is 60% smaller and 56% lighter than Apple’s 30W USB-C power adapter. The charger’s foldable Type A prongs sit flush against the body when not in use, making it easier to carry in your pocket without scratching your other belongings.
Chargeasap bundles a small 6.7-inch USB-C cable with Miko. It can double as the attachment loop for your keyring or backpack. The cable can carry up to 30W of power and supports USB 2.0 data-transfer speeds.
Miko comes in orange, navy and tan, each featuring a gunmetal housing and a vegan-leather front.
The tiny charger supports USB Power Delivery 3.0 and PPS charging. Chargeasap says it can top up a compatible iPhone to 50% in approximately 30 minutes. That should prove fast enough for an emergency charge, although it can’t fast charge Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro family. (Those devices can pull more power than Chargeasap’s Miko can deliver — up to 40W to reach 50% in 20 minutes.)
However, 30W is still more than enough to juice up the new iPhones to a reasonable level in a few minutes.
Back the project on Kickstarter to reserve your own Miko
Chargeasap is funding Miko through Kickstarter. Early backers can reserve one charger and its USB-C keyring cable for $48, a hefty discount on the planned $79 retail price. Worldwide shipping costs an additional flat $9.
The campaign already raised more than $77,000 from more than 1,100 backers, easily exceeding its $10,000 target. It ends July 24, with deliveries expected to begin in November.
