Reddit mentions of Cable Matters USB C to Micro USB Cable (Micro USB to USB-C Cable) with Braided Jacket 3.3 Feet in Black

Wheres your god now?

Yeah, it's pretty nice. When in a pinch, I've used a USB-C to μUSB-B cable to charge my Sony SmartWatch 3 from my Nexus 6p

I'm sure there are cheaper options, but I use this cable

a cable like this would give you charge from your phone to the headphones (provided, like most bluetooth headphones, they charge with a micro usb cable) and also let you use your existing nexus chargers https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-USB-C-Braided-Jacket/dp/B00UUBRX0Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1473089112&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+c+micro+usb+cable

Ok. I’m glad you asked. Ha ha.

First, let me mention that you can use a USB cable plugged into a power source then use male to male headphone cables to get the old analogue sound but that’s not the ideal way to use the G6. In fact, sometimes I’ve found that the Switch sound wasn’t strong enough for the G6 to pick up.

Ideally, you want to use the USB. It’s worth it.

Here is what I do / have done / continue to do.

1: You can get a cable that has USB-C on one end and micro USB on the other

The problem is that you run into an issue when you need a charge since the USB is taken with the G6.

I also found that if you power the G6 and the Switch by the same charger, you get a power whine so you can’t plug them both into a multi USB charger. It’s too loud to ignore so that also didn’t work.

2. Here is how I solved the problem of being able to use the G6 in handheld mode and still be able to power it.

I found a dongle that lets me power the Switch as well as the G6 while still allowing me to connect to to the G6 via USB.

If you use this thing, you can connect the G6 to the USB port, connect a power source with PD to the USB power input, and connect the built-in USB-C to the Switch.

It ended up being a little annoying how short the attached cable was because it has to hang out of the Switch. I had to find a USB-C extension cable that allowed for power AND DATA transfer. Lots of power cables out there that won’t carry the data which is what the cable needs for the G6 and Switch to communicate. I ended up finding this cable and it worked beautifully:

The setup I’ve finally settled in on to be able to charge the Switch, power the G6, and connect the G6 to the Switch by USB is this:

Power Supply with 60W PD —>
Anker adapter in USB C PD port
G6 plugged into the USB port with a micro USB cable
Switch plugged into the attached USB-C cable built into the Anker adapter (with the USB-C extension cord I bought)
Headphones plugged into the G6

It sounds complicated... and it was complicated to figure out... but now, I LOVE IT.

I bought this a while back, though I've only ever tried using it to charge the GF's Moto X.

I bought my sister one of these hubs last year for her 12" MacBook. It has power, USB A, and HDMI. No issues at all so far. I did a review of it here.

I have a few of their other products as well that I use with my Nexus 6P, and all of them haven't been an issue. This includes their braided USB A to C cables that i really like and their USB C male to female USB A adapters. All three of these feel high quality and made with aluminium.

Besides that, Anker had an issue with only one of their cables, and they were pretty quick and good about recalling it, so I would still trust their cables, which are generally pretty good quality. I also use monoprice cables and they are great. Cable Matters has a braided Male Micro USB to Male USB C cable that I personally don't own, but I've seen recommend on Reddit several times.

I haven't ever used Thunderbolt 3, so i don't have any recommendations for that.

Quick look on Amazon and it seems to be a thing : https://smile.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-USB-C-Braided-Jacket/dp/B00UUBRX0Y

I used this.

$6.99

Most pre-built mechs use micro so that covers a lot.

This is a waaaayyy better bag for the Mavic Pro >> https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01MY920DU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_rkP5Bb5J1012Z

Also, bought a couple of these to protect props >> https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078WNZ6SM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_AlP5BbWF31RFG

This to connect the drone directly to your phone to copy over 4K videos (for a USB-C phone, I'm sure micro USB or Lightning cables are available) >> https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00UUBRX0Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.lP5Bb76PZ812

MicroSD card holder >> https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B005SPQ8XK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_doP5BbAZRXNCX

Launchpad, for use on grass/dirty areas, also the Mavic takes an image of it's take off position which should mean more accurate return to home (I've not tested it yet) >> https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XT1K51W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.oP5BbW61N41Z

I've also bought these silica pouches to put in the cases (got the same case for the Osmo too) to keep out moisture, you'd be surprised what they've picked up so far, and they're rechargeable 😀 >> https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071DDYFNS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_prP5Bb77166QV

High speed MicroSD >> https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07G3GMRYF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_kvP5BbWG49M09

You can, but Remote Play won’t pick it up if you connect directly to the MacBook’s Bluetooth stack (the Windows RP app works the same way; I assume it’s because Sony is doing some weird low-level BT stuff to support low-latency audio on the controller’s headphone port).

You can buy a USB-C to micro-USB cable and connect the controller directly to your MacBook instead.

The other option is to buy a USB-A to USB-C adapter so you can plug in either the official Bluetooth dongle (which is expensive and kinda bad) or a standard USB cable.

It is this cable.

i bought this to use with fiio k1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UUBRX0Y/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 works perfectly

I skipped the converter (had the same problem) and just picked one of these up. keep it in my gear bag and it works great. Works great to connect my Eachine ROTG01 to my new phone as well for a cheap monitor.

That's exactly my point... Apple has been heavily pushing for a lot more power available to mobile users and the industry has largely dragged its feet uninterested in offering more power to mobile. Where the industry is finally going is going to be revolutionary for mobile users and that is heavily driven by Apple pushing hard on USB-C and Thunderbolt 3.

It is important to understand that USB-C isn't a flavor and instead is a USB connector specification that will likely become the single connector for all devices. Especially since USB-C supports "alt modes" that allow every major standard to be natively supported on the connector (such as HDMI, DisplayPort, USB, etc). And now that Thunderbolt 3 will be folded into USB with USB4 the industry will universally be able to move toward desktop class power on mobile devices. eGPUs is just the first taste of where this stuff can, and will go.

You can buy USB-C cables and skip dongles altogether, for instance...

https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Micro-Braided-Jacket/dp/B00UUBRX0Y/ref=sr_1_3

I think people make far too big a deal about "dongles" honestly. But people always complain about any change at all. The same was done when USB was new and everyone complained about needing to buy USB cables and USB cards for their PC when PS/2, Serial, and Parallel "worked fine". People complained when USB went from Mini to Micro-A to Micro-B or why they needed special USB-B connectors for printers and scanners... People hate change.

I am happy we're finally settling on one connector...

Had the same issue on my macbook pro TB 2017 last month. I ended up getting this

Amazon Type C to Micro

Problems seemed to have fixed it self. Not sure if this is the problem but maybe it has to do something with the adapter. Alternitivly have you tried updating it from the DJI Go app connected to the radio?

I've tried these 2. Both claim to support data.

Are you upgrading all your chargers to Type C as well? If so, you could just use a cable that does the job

They will have to protrude a decent amount, although I honestly have a difficult time finding many cables that "downgrade" USB types from C to B. I did see a couple though. Realistically, there's simply no way to nest the two inside each other, so there has to be space for the ports and the connections. The simplest solution would to keep some micro-b cables handy or just use wireless charging exclusively (my preferred method).

After all, USB-C ubiquity is still a little ways off, so chances are you will need some legacy cables for a little while regardless. If you absolutely have to have the adapters, why not just keep them on the cables and take them off when you need the cable for another purpose?

If your Keybard, like mine, works off Micro-USB then you can make this much cleaner by using something like this.

This seems like a whole fuss over nothing?
