Works great!
Works well. I can easily access the rpi Zero 2W thru the OTG usb ethernet.Rpi Debian:1) edit /boot/firmware/config.txt add the following line.dtoverlay=dwc22) edit /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt adding this at the end of the very long line (separate be 'space' character)modules-load=dwc2,g_ether3) set a fixed IP address to the new usb interface, by creating a file /etc/network/interfaces.d/usb0 likeallow-hotplug usb0iface usb0 inet staticaddress 192.168.7.5netmask 255.255.255.0network 192.168.7.0broadcast 192.168.7.255gateway 192.168.7.1This sets IP to 192.168.7.5 on the pi side.--Now on a Linux PC, plug the pi into a USB port and boot it.After boot 'ip link' will report a new interface like:4: enp0s20f0u4u3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000link/ether 5e:46:5a:b3:09:c5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffWe can change the interface name to something nicer with:sudo ip link set enp0s20f0u4u3 name mypiThen configure the host interface to be on the sane subnet as the pi-usb:sudo ip addr add 192.168.7.100/24 dev mypiNow - ssh to192.168.7.5 !! works,

Verified on multiple Pi Zero W
Verified on Pi Zero W and Pi Zero 2, keep in mind the USB Gadget function takes some work to setup. As noted in the description add dtoverlay=dwc2 in config.txt but you need to also load the module in cmdline.txt after rootwait modules-load=dwc2,g_ether. Then you will have the usb0 iface on the machine you plug into.

handy USB plug option
It adds a little bulk, but makes it a little beefier and handier to plug into USB without a cable.

Well-made Overall But Fit Is Mediocre
The body of a standard pin header fouls against the acrylic enclosure, requiring a bit of filing of the opening slightly by hand to accommodate the pin header.

Great
Works great and easy to assemble. Something that it took me a second to realize after receiving it was that the cardboard wrapping can be peeled off. It was not a clear case when it arrived but that's because I didn't peel off the sticker... otherwise very clutch and turns pizero into USB powered, very helpful for SSH
