A protective cap covers the connector when not in use. The model is black in colour (model: MRC-D011BK) and designed for direct insertion into a device’s port thanks to its stick-style build.

In practical use, the ELECOM USB-C Card Reader Stick Type delivers smooth and efficient file transfers for SD, microSD and other compatible memory cards. The stick form factor makes it easy to carry and plug in, and users report the fast USB-C interface handles large files (photos, videos) without noticeable lag. Some users note that actual speeds will vary depending on the card type and device port used (e.g., USB-C port version, card speed class), but overall the product meets expectations for quick, portable access to memory cards.
Consumer Appeal
This card reader is perfect for photographers, content creators, travellers and students who need a compact, plug-and-play solution for reading and writing memory cards. If you often work on the go with memory-card workflows (e.g., SD cards from cameras) and use devices with USB-C ports, this stick-type reader offers an efficient and unobtrusive accessory. It’s especially suited to those who want a durable, portable reader without extra cables or bulky enclosures.
Availability & Notes
Availability, regional packaging and pricing for the ELECOM USB-C Card Reader Stick Type may vary by market. While the fast transfer specs are appealing, actual performance depends on the memory card’s bus speed and the host device’s USB-C port version. Before purchasing, check compatibility with your device (USB-C port support) and whether the product includes the necessary controller drivers if required.
