Companies and brands are becoming increasingly more creative in the MagSafe accessories space. They are doing everything they can to find some sort of differentiator to really separate themselves from the pack. So when I got my hands on Kuxiu’s K1 Ultra, it was nice to see a product that was unique in both form and function. Here is what you should know!
Kuxiu K1 Ultra
Right away, the K1 Ultra stood out to me due to its premium look and feel. It literally feels like the same materials used to make an iPhone. It is built from CNC-machined aluminum and features a beautiful frosted glass back, reminiscent of an iPhone. I also really like the text design approach. They placed all the device’s specs on the front, similar to how the brand Off-White brands their products. You can see the battery size, the Qi 2.2 standard, the wattage output, and everything else you need to know about it at a glance. The most unique part is that you can twist it, which gives a satisfying click, to unveil an Apple Watch charger.
Here are the specs:
- 10,000mAh battery capacity
- Qi2.2 25W magnetic wireless charging (25W on iPhone 16 and newer, 15W on older iPhones)
- 5W Apple Watch charging
- 5W AirPods charging
- 20W USB-C input and output
- Pass-through charging support
The K1 Ultra is relatively thick due to its 10,000mAh battery, but it’s not unmanageable. Still able to fit in your pocket, fanny pack, or small purse, no problem. The best part about this is that it can also act as a pass-through charger!
My experience
I primarily used this as a travel charger, but it also works in many other ways. Firstly, it’s great that I can charge all my devices without any issues, and I also don’t have to worry about battery capacity since the battery is so large. Their original K1 only had 5,000mAh, so I would still get some battery anxiety there. My iPhone attaches magnetically on the front, my Apple Watch flips onto the rotating charger, and your AirPods can charge on either pad. No cables needed.
Another nice perk is that it has a strong kickstand. The kickstand transforms this into a compact desk or nightstand charging station, as it supports pass-through charging. I can also use it to view content comfortably, and it even supports standby mode with your iPhone.
Pricing and availability
The K1 Ultra is available now from Kuxiu’s site for $79 in black, but there is a black friday code on their site that gives you an additional 25% off! They are also offering pre-orders for the K1 Ultra in Cosmic orange to color-match the Cosmic orange iPhone 17 Pro. Kuxiu did this with the X40 Turbo, and it came out fantastic! Lastly, they are offering a K1 Ultra gift box that brings the K1 Ultra (usually $79), their 65W Dual USB-C UltraSlim charger (usually $27), their 240W USB-C magnetic cable (usually $14), and a travel storage bag, all for just $99! To me, that’s a no-brainer!
Final thoughts
Overall, the K1 Ultra has impressed. It does everything you would want and need a portable Magsafe charger to do. It charges your iPhone at max speeds, can charge your AirPods and Apple Watch, acts as a portable stand or desk charger, and is built like an Apple product. What do you think? Is this something you would use? Let’s discuss below!
