This is a nice-to-have adapter for those times when you'd rather have a USB Type-C connection on your device but have to work with Type-A such as when you're still squeezing some lift out of your old MacBook like I am.

The Dongle Apple Should Include in the Box!

This 5 connector unites Old and New devices. It leads to existing device conservation and useful life extension. I use it with my new (2021)MacBookPro (14,2 screen) to charge my ancient wireless mouse and to maintain & use flash memory devices. It keeps money in my pocket and it is convenient. Very eco-friendly!

Does what it's supposed to do

Since I'm taking a trip to dongletown until I upgrade my monitor and other peripherals, this is a good compromise to temporarily connect older USB devices to my new Apple laptop. I didn't need or want a full size USB hub on my desk, so this is a nice small solution for giving me a single port.

This adapter allows me to use my Kingston Lockers on the Mac as easily as I use them on the PC. There is software specifically for the Mac on each Locker.
