Once plugged in, don't unplug
When I bought two of these adapters, I had high hopes for them because the design is so slim, I can save space with them. When I unplugged the other one the first time to change the pedal, it split half. The "deck" side stuck on jack and let go from the "cuo" side, cutting the wire at the process. When I looked closer at the problem, I noticed that it splits quite easily, and most likely the wire too. I soldered the wire and packed it back, plugged into a pedal in my hand and tried to remove it in one piece, no luck. The solution for me was to solder the wire, fill up the "cup" side with some good glue and put back the "deck" side so it would clued together. The downside is that solution lasts forever, but then again, it won't be needed to be opened, so far it had opened unintentionally. Now it has worked fine, thanks for the glue, but I recommend this trick if encountered the same problem, and I think you do.

Cheap, very poor quality
Broke after a few days of usage and one transport.
Won't recommend.

Not a god solution for a tight board.
I bought 4 of these to try and maximize space on my pedal board. They actually make it very difficult to add and remove pedals, as they join the pedals together so close, that you can't just lift one out. So you end up having to connect all the pedals up off the board, and mount them all together. This isn't easy, but it's even more difficult to remove them all in one go. 3 of the adapters split open when doing this. Now, I could pop them back together, but I figured it would only be a matter of time before the wires or solder joints inside went, so I decided to go back to patch cables. Much easier, and with the right ones, you'll still save space.

it breaks very easily
very fragile, and quite thick. definitely worst than flat patch cables

This plug is usefull in certain situations, small pedal boards for example.
If plugs on different pedals are on different heights this is a great solution.
They don't buzz or mess up your sound.
The downside of it though, is that they break very easily.
When your pedals are in place with the plug between them it's hard to move them without the plug snapping in two, i've had it happen to 3 of my plugs so far.

Broke apart after normal use
This plug broke into two pieces after being used to connect two stomp boxes mounted on velcro, I guess because of the slight tension created when pressing one pedal down into the velcro a little bit. The signal path was not cut off when this happened, and I rather have a cheap connector like this broken than my pedals, but it still breaks way to easy.

Do not use these
There design is flawed as these will break if you accidentally kick your pedal. You may also break the jacks on the pedals. It is common knowledge that these should not be used to connect pedals together...

nice size but flimsy
Comes apart every time I unplug it, easy to put back together but you see the wire inside is very thing. It is short which is nice to get some pedal boards space.

Poor quality product
Good idea in theory but as soon as you pressure it (ie connect pedals of different height), the connector soon fall apart. I bought 2 of them and both of them failed the same way.
Better spend a few extra euros on a more strongly built one (Rockboard Z-connector for instance)

fall apart easily....
bought one of these to try to get a couple of my pedals closer together, but at some point when trying to get two pedals to the same height it just fell apart. Nice idea, shame about the execution.
