What are the pros or cons?** A: I use the controller to be able to log into the UniFi controller from any computer or the mobile app. I am often at different computers and it is much easier for me to connect to one IP address than to always go back to the computer where the UniFi software was loaded and is running. **Q: What are the pro's con's on the gen2 vs the gen2 plus?** A: The gen2 Plus has a built-in hard drive to allows it to support up to 20 Unifi Cameras and 1 TB Storage (Upgradeable to 5 TB) to use as a NVR. **Q: What power adapter would you recommend for usb-c power? 2amp?** A: It depends. Generally you would only buy one of these if you have other Unifi devices on your network. A lot of those devices supply (or require) power supplied by POE. In the long run, POE is a lot simpler than having power adapters for every device. At first I thought POE was a gimmick, but as soon as I saw it working I was hooked. I plan to use a Unifi POE Switch to provide the power, which means I don't need to supply power by USB-C. It also has an internal battery, so you probably don't need to supply redundant power. I plan to put the POE switch onto a UPS anyway, so that should be reliable enough for this. If you decide to use USB-C power, the Unifi site lists it as USB-C 5 V 1 A, with a max power draw of 5 Watts. Therefore, you don't need a 2 Amp charger. The more power hungry Gen2 Plus has a max power draw of 16 Watts, but still works with a 1 Amp supply. **Q: Does this come with a microsd card like the g1 version?** A: I can confirm that the Gen2 does not ship with the microSD card, even though Ubiquiti's marketing materials say that it is included. In fact, this device comes with very little. No power supply, no power cord (803.af PoE), no ethernet cable, no microSD card. But, they spent a fortune on the very Apple-looking box it was delivered in. Not impressed. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cloud Key Gen2 Plus - not the smaller one *by B***. on 8 April 2022* not as shown in the ad. works perfectly. runs a bit hot but operates flawlessly and provides central management of your Unifi network and devices. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***E on 31 October 2020* Completely unnecessary for my setup, but I love the way it looks on my desk LOL. Also I think it's hilarious that the stock picture shows 18 access points with 7 clients, my kind of over kill!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***G on 27 June 2020* Don't bother with the original cloud key. Only use the G2's or Dream Machines. The dream machines are easiest. This is a commercial/enterprise product, but it's inexpensive and works well in homes as well. I install these products in small and massive homes alike, because it's very reliable, and it scales easily. If you have a UniFi network without a G2 cloud key, you are missing the point of UniFi. When you pair the cloud key with the security gateway (USG), you will sometimes run into problems with the adoption. DO NOT download the PC controller software for any reason, even if the USG tells you to. ALWAYS use the UniFi app. If you have issues adopting the USG, then factory default that unit. Occasionally you may need to access the web GUI of the cloud key and do a manual adoption of the USG. This is rare, but frustrating when it happens. It does not mean that the equipment is defective, just that there's probably a firmware discrepancy or something. Sometimes after setting up the cloud key initially, you need to power cycle the unit for it to register that it needs a firmware update. For DIY users without networking experience, use the Dream Machine instead, or a non-Ubiquiti product. Once the Ubiquiti network is set up, it just works. Getting it set up is usually straightforward if you understand the order of operations for ubiquiti devices. Basically, do the bare minimum with the USG for internet connectivity. Set up the cloud key and adopt ONLY THE USG. FW update the cloud key, then update the controller software. Then FW update the USG. Then adopt the other network devices. FW update the POE switches first, then the WAPs. IF YOU USE A CLOUD KEY WITHOUT A USG, BE SURE TO DISABLE THE DHCP SERVER WITHIN THE CLOUD KEY. IF YOU ARE NOT USING A USG, YOU SHOULD RECONSIDER AND USE ONE. YOU WILL GET A MUCH BETTER SYSTEM MONITORING EXPERIENCE, AS WELL AS MUCH GREATER REMOTE ACCESS TO YOUR NETWORK - If you need to log into anything on the network remotely that has any sort of web GUI, you can easily port forward port 80 temporarily to that devices address (if it doesn't have a static IP address, the UniFi app will still allow you to easily determine what the client address is for that device) and remote into it from your web browser as needed. If the network is a residential network without a static IP, it's easy to determine the public IP address and use that for remote access from the browser to the port-forwarded device. UNDERSTAND THAT WITH UBIQUITI, YOU PAY A VERY LOW PRICE FOR REALLY GOOD NETWORK EQUIPMENT, BUT TECH SUPPORT IS NONEXISTENT, SO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 (UCK-G2) - Ubiquiti U6+ Dual Band IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax 3 Gbit/s Wireless Access Point - Ubiquiti Switch Lite 16 PoE --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/254181095-unifi-cloud-key-gen2-uck-g2](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/254181095-unifi-cloud-key-gen2-uck-g2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
