Nomad expands its ChargeKey lineup with a new Stellar Orange colorway designed to perfectly match the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, while maintaining the same impressive 240W charging and 10Gbps data transfer capabilities.
Nomad is expanding its ChargeKey lineup with a new Stellar Orange colorway designed to perfectly match the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. The ChargeKey has been one of Nomad's longest-running products and remains one of the simplest solutions for carrying a reliable cable on your keychain that can handle everything from ultra-high speed charging to professional-level data transfer speeds.
What's new with the Stellar Orange ChargeKey
At its core, the functionality hasn't changed from the previous version. Nomad updated the ChargeKey's functionality about a year ago to fully support all modern USB-C standards. It evolved from just a quick backup cable to one capable of handling high-power charging and fast data transfer when needed.
For something so small that's meant to just live on your keychain, the spec list and build quality is pretty impressive:
- Fast charging up to 240W
- Data transfer speeds up to 10Gbps (USB 3.1)
- Braided nylon cable
- Electroplated zinc cable housings
- Magnetic cable tips that snap together for storage
The ChargeKey can handle most charging needs with its 240W output, and if you need to transfer large files from an SSD to a computer or vice versa, you can do so with no issues whatsoever.
Real-world performance
I've had every version of the ChargeKey, even the old Lightning version. The biggest thing for me has always been just how reliable it is. It has lived on my keychain for years. Back then, it maxed out at 60W for the USB-C version, just 20W for the Lightning version.
I'm happy with how much more useful it has become. I can now use it confidently when editing footage on the go with my SSD, thanks to the much faster USB 3.1 transfer speeds. The same goes for charging. If I need to charge my iPad Pro or a MacBook Pro at full speed, I can now easily do that.
It also pairs amazingly with Nomad's slim wall chargers. I'm also a big fan of the new color and how closely it matches the iPhone 17 Pro. It has a nice two-tone orange color. You have the lighter orange nylon fabric on the cable itself, and then you have the chrome orange accents on the cable tips and the keychain loop. You can tell they put a lot of time and effort into the material choices.
Pricing and availability
The new Stellar Orange ChargeKey is available today for $29 from Nomad's website. They are still selling their original black/grey color, but if you have a Cosmic Orange iPhone, then this is the way to go. It will charge your iPhone at the full 40W speed and transfer at up to 10Gbps in any scenario.
So if you are in the market for an emergency cable that looks good, or you have a loved one who needs a gift for their new Cosmic Orange iPhone, then this is something you should consider!

Why this matters for iPhone 17 Pro users
The ChargeKey represents a perfect accessory marriage for Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro owners. While many third-party accessories offer color matching, few combine aesthetic appeal with such robust technical specifications. The 240W charging capability means it can handle not just your iPhone but also power-hungry devices like the latest iPad Pro and MacBook Pro at their maximum charging speeds.
The USB 3.1 data transfer speeds open up new possibilities for mobile professionals who need to quickly offload footage from cameras or SSDs while in the field. This transforms the ChargeKey from a simple emergency cable into a legitimate tool for content creators and power users.
The magnetic cable tips that snap together for storage solve one of the most common problems with portable cables - preventing tangles and damage when carried in pockets or bags. Combined with the durable braided nylon construction and electroplated zinc housings, this is built to withstand years of daily use.
For iPhone 17 Pro users who value both form and function, the Stellar Orange ChargeKey offers a compelling combination of perfect color matching, professional-grade performance, and exceptional durability in a package small enough to live on your keychain.
