Genshin Impact UGREEN Kinich Items Are Fun and Functional

Back at CES 2025, HoYoVerse and UGREEN announced a line of Genshin Impact accessories with Kinich as the “star.” Now that those are widely available, they all feel like a collection that makes sense. The items are all practical and can be used in a variety of ways on a daily basis. They’re reasonably priced given what they are, ranging from $6.99 for a cable to $69.99 on sale for a powerbank. However, thanks to the color schemes, art direction, and in one case animations, there’s also an element of whimsy. First, all of the UGREEN items in the Genshin Impact crossover collection are generally quality items that work incredibly well. I’ve taken the UGREEN Nexode Powerbank on three trips so far, two involving flights to locations. In one case I flew out one afternoon, spent a full day in a place for work, and flew back the following morning. I ended up getting my phone charged twice while working and recording with it, topping off my iPad while waiting for a delayed flight, and charging a Playdate without needing to charge the powerbank itself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D23vNhYzp8&ab_channel=UGREENOfficial The Nexode Charger ended up being even more practical and useful, given I’d been relying on some Five Below and Dollar Tree plugs to help with my Fitbit and other devices. I noticed a marked difference in charging time when using it. Also, it doesn’t get scalding hot in the same way those did and allowed me to have multiple devices plugged in at once, instead of having two in different outlets in different rooms. Also, as my MacBook Air’s cable was fraying after using it for a few years, the UGREEN USB-C to USB-C 100W cable ended up being a perfect replacement for the stock one. It’s covered in fabric to protect the cord. I wish it was a bit longer than one meter (~39 inches), but it’s still fine. So in general, all of the products themselves are great and function perfectly. But the basic element of it is that we have a selection of items from a company called UGREEN that involves a green-outfit and Dendro Vision coordinated character from Genshin Impact. Each piece ties into the greater whole for a cohesive vision. The USB-C to USB-C cable? It’s the same shade of green as Kinich’s Dendro energy and there’s the K'uhul Ajaw tie to keep it organized. Kinich’s portrait is front and center on the power bank and the charger. So when you see it, he’s immediately visible and pops against the black of the accessories. When you turn the powerbank on or off, an Ajaw animation plays. There are more subtle Huitztlan markings in the background designed to call to mind the Natlan region he’s from. There are a lot of callbacks that make sense. Photos by Siliconera I also feel like this collaboration feels a there’s slightly more effort involved compared to the Logitech series of wireless G309 gaming mice. Yes, UGREEN is still taking the stock HoYoVerse art of Kinich that is used for Genshin Impact promotional purposes and things like acrylic stands, but the additional background and decorative accents, as well as the use of Ajaw, make it feel like there’s a little more thought put into it. Sure, I would have appreciated original art, but the extra background is a good touch. Especially with the charger I’m using every other day. Basically, the Genshin Impact UGREEN Kinich accessories and items are pretty fun. The character features an outfit with the right color scheme and for a company with that name and his Dendro vision matches it. His having a pixelated ally also goes well with a line of products intended to charge various electronic and gaming devices. The vibes are good, and the peripherals and cords all work great. It seems like a successful collaboration collection. Genshin Impact is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and the UGREEN Kinich accessories and items are available now.
