If you’re like me and Chad, you find even though every new electronic is USB-C, you sometimes find you need to connect something, that still has the hated micro-USB connection. That happened to Dennis and searching on Amazon I found some 2-in-1 connectors and some others, that solved the problem.
There’s are simple ‘micro usb to USB-C connectors for as a little as a $1.50. (4/$5.99). And as you’ll see on this week’s we liked the 2-in-1 hub which let me connect USB-A to either USB-C or Micro-USB. There’s a lightening version of that too. Be aware that many connectors online say ‘for charging or data transfer only’, not for connecting heavy draw items like hard drives. So it’s best to check the specs before you buy.
Mine worked great to add a wireless mouse to an older USB-micro input computer.
