Twin sockets with USB

You’d need a DUAL back box, not a double.

A 2 gang back box will be fine, USB module in one side, single socket module in the other.

So you need one with the label "fast charge" or USB-PD to get the benefit

And even among PD chargers there are a whole bunch of voltage/current combinations.

That BG one is likely more than sufficient for most phones and tablets, but may struggle a bit with laptops (though it does at least support the 20V mode which means it has a higher chance of getting at least some charge into a laptop).

Maybe another alternative is an extension lead with usb outlets.

I use one to power my AV, with the USB ports powering a FireTV stick and an RPi zero. It's a far neater setup than having another two wall warts and easily switch-offable!

According to the catalogue, the MK Logic Plus 2G socket with USB switches off once the shutters are down.

But they need a deeper box than 25mm. With three cables in the back box, I just about got away with a 25mm recessed box and a 20mm spacer between the wall and the socket front plate.

I don't think they have shutters though !

I don't think they have shutters though !

From the current catalogue:
'MK Electric USB charging solutions are also designed with inherent safety features such as overload protection and automatic disconnect on the modular product when the cable is removed.'
It refers to the module I've already mentioned, not the 2 gang sockets

I finally got around to measuring the standby power on a LAP EBN22U3B twin USB twin socket and it is between 0.1W & 0.2W (resolution of my power meter). I happened to have various wallwart phone chargers for comparison, older ones were typically 0.3W to 0.4W but newer ones were between 0.1W & 0.2W. Of course if you buy one from somewhere like Fleabay you could get anything!
