USB Type-C may be the current standard, but you likely still have PC peripherals that rely on legacy USB Type-A ports for charging and connectivity, particularly if your mouse, keyboard, or headset hasn't been upgraded recently. Here is a straightforward and budget-friendly fix. For a limited period, Amazon has reduced the price of a 3-pack of Basesailor USB Type-C to USB Type-A Adapters to just $3.80 after applying coupon code "NL43TTBJ". This breaks down to an impressive $1.27 per adapter. At such a low cost, it makes sense to keep several on hand for convenience.

The set comes with three USB Type-A (female) to USB Type-C (male) adapters. Certified for USB 3.0, these dongles support data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps. They are ideal for connecting and charging wireless headsets, keyboards, mice, card readers, or any other device that still utilizes the older USB Type-A standard. While they work well with external storage drives, you might not achieve maximum drive speeds depending on the specific hardware (particularly if using an NVMe SSD).
These adapters do not support fast charging via Power Delivery, making them less than ideal for devices like iPhones or Nintendo Switch consoles, though emergency charging is still possible at a slower pace. Built from machined aluminum alloy, their compact design ensures they don't protrude excessively. For just over $1 each, these durable yet affordable dongles are practically disposable.
