About Gadget Sleuth

Gadget Sleuth investigates tech choices before you make them. We explain standards such as USB-C Power Delivery, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and Matter, check what manufacturers actually claim about compatibility, and turn spec sheets into plain answers.

We do not claim to have tested products we have not tested. When a guide is based on published specifications, standards documents or manufacturer documentation rather than our own hands-on use, we say so.

Who we write for

Our readers are people in the United States choosing tech accessories and smart home devices who want to understand compatibility and standards before they buy. Every guide aims to answer a real question clearly and point to the source behind any important claim.

How we work

Our articles are researched from standards bodies such as USB-IF, the Wi-Fi Alliance, the Bluetooth SIG and the Connectivity Standards Alliance, manufacturer specifications and documentation, and published safety guidance. We explain how we chose and checked information in our Editorial Policy. We do not publish fake reviews, invented test results or made-up personal stories, and we do not claim to have tested a product unless the article says how it was tested.

How the site is funded

Some links on Gadget Sleuth are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commissions never decide what we recommend. Read our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

Compatibility information on this site reflects published specifications at the time of writing; always confirm with the manufacturer for your exact model and firmware.
