I have both and they are great batteries.

And I like to use the usb-c port on my laptop. It's closer to the HDMI and seems like a stronger port when using the usb extension.

From TribalInstincts YouTube page. "UPDATE! There is a USB-C port. It is not obvious at all however it exists and I've verified passthrough."
Bought this for $6 so I could be ready.

Besides the Panda Global adapter, you could try one of the following:

8bitdo G Bros. Wireless Adapter. Lets you use the original GC controller, but it'll be wireless so there'll be a slight increase in input delay. Not sure if it's noticeable but I doubt it, should be like any other wireless controller.

Get a USB C to USB A adapter and plug the original GC adapter in it. A bit more of a mess than the Panda Global adapter but this works just fine. You'd have to get some kind of stand like this if you want to have the Switch standing up, since the USB C adapter is gonna prevent you from using the Switch kickstand.

u/Rikkaboy · 3 pointsr/oculus

I've haven't been able to use mine for 30 seconds at a time before the screen goes black and I have to restart. I suspect it may have something to do with my USB 3 ports on my laptop. Also the USB port is on the other side from the DisplayPort meaning I have to stretch the cable to get it to fit which I doubt is helping (for reference my laptop is a MSI GS63 Stealth).

​

I have a USB C thunderbolt next to my DisplayPort so I ordered an adapter on Amazon. It should be here tomorrow so I'll post an update after I've tried it.

​

Edit: here's the link to the adapter if anyone else wants to try this out

u/knightrate · 3 pointsr/india

An even cheaper solution would be to get an OTG adapter. AmazonBasics has it for 539 rupees but you should be able to find off brand ones for much less.

u/Kaiyening · 2 pointsr/OculusQuest

So I've tested Link with an eGPU (external graphics card / dock). It eventually worked for me. Here are the specs:

  1. Both the onboard USB 3.1 Gen 1 port (left side) and the Virtual Link port on the external GPU (the one that's a USB-C port found on most RTX GPU's) worked fine, and showed very similar performance.
  2. Oculus software should not run the beta version, and Oculus Quest should not have Developer mode on.
  3. Performance is OK, but is obviously considerably lower (at least by 20 to 40%) than had the Quest been connected to a conventional desktop PC with the same specs. Without the headset on the same eGPU setup, VR Mark Orange Room scores about 6000 points. With the headset on and running the test in Oculus virtual desktop (not natively on the HMD displays, though) shows the lowest of 4700 points. Onboard GTX 1050 2GB without the headset would show about 2500 points. My Yoga 15 is downvolted a bit with TB kept on.
  4. Image definitely looks more blurry than I'd want, but I will keep fiddling with Oculus/SteamVR settings. I have also noticed timewarp artifacts on some objects over the edges when turning my head very fast, but those are sometimes there, and sometimes are not. Not sure what's the main cause yet.
  5. You probably do not want to have anything connected to the same USB 3 hub or controller as the one that you have you Quest connected to when you initially connect it to the PC. When I had peripherals connected to the same Corsair ST100 Headphones Stand, Quest would had kept showing a red "x" until I would disconnect the other devices first. When I reconnected those while using the headset, everything was working fine, though; that is until I re-connected the Quest again. Other stuff had to be disconnected first from that hub again then.
  6. Performance was 5-10% lower than when running VR Mark Orange Room via the Oculus Virtual desktop than when just running it on an internal display.
  7. Performance seems to be the same when running Link with either an external monitor connected to the eGPU or with an internal monitor of the laptop itself.
  8. The following cable DID NOT WORK: TOPWE USB Type C Cable USB C Cable (2 Pack 10FT) Type C Charger USB 3.0 Date Sync 3A Fast Charging Cable. DO NOT BUY THIS CABLE to use with the Quest, unless otherwise confirmed for your setup.

    Conclusion:

    I knew what I was getting into, but using a Rift S with such setup instead of the Quest/Link is preferred due to TB3 limitations when feeding the signal back to the PC. Ideally, you would not use Oculus Quest or even a Rift S with an eGPU setup, but this is the setup I have, so here we are: it is confirmed to be working on a Windows machine and an RTX 2070 eGPU, as long as you have proper USB 3 ports. This depends on your laptop, though, hence Virtual Link port can save the day for some people.

I'm using a dongle + a short USB c cable. I keep the dongle attached to the camera, then the short cable to the drive, reduces port fatigue and cable fatigue. Haven't had any issues.

An micro usb or usb c adapter to usb type A, male to female. Into an usb hub usually an 2.0 then plugged in with an mouse and keyboard.

Edit: usb c to a

Or just skip the adapter and just use this. It seems to be an usb c.

u/Joe8222 · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

Will this or this work with the gamecube adapter I know adapters work but does this one?

u/sephiroth70001 · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

There are controllers that can plug in to the switch. You will probably need to get a usbc to usbc cable or usbc to microusb depending on the controller. I'm currently using a usbc to usbc for the 8bitdo snes grip controller. There is also the GameCube adapter that connects wired GameCube controllers. Lots of options more just up for preference. Is there a specific controller style you want. Like analog placements ECT?

Also if you already have a USB 2.0/3.0 you could get an adapter like this.

u/Lorben · 2 pointsr/NintendoSwitch

You can plug an USB C to USB A converter into the bottom of the switch and then plug it in.

I've done that with my Magic-NS adapter.

There are different accessories I have bought and has made my experience better.

- Expensive (Mainly for playing games and having a mic instead of the built in mic since it's buggy on the headset) - https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Cloud-Flight-Detachable-Comfortable/dp/B077ZGRY9V/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=3D960PSK6KV35&keywords=hyperx+cloud+flight&qid=1564661727&s=electronics&sprefix=hyperx+cloud+%2Celectronics%2C151&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExRkdWSElOUU5JREhTJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDYwNzUxMVZSTjVPU1pFS0Y1USZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTEwOTk2MVgyMkUwMjdWRlo1MyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Controller grips:

These arrive today so I can't say if they are good or bad yet but I've only heard good - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VCF9P73/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I've had these for awhile and they work great (if you have larger hands, these are perfect) - https://www.mamutvr.com/collections/upcoming/products/mamut-touch-grip

​

Headset power:

I've heard people have had tracking issues due to insufficient power from their usb ports, my RTX 2080 has a dedicated USB-Type C that I use to power my headset and haven't had any tracking issues - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GGKYXVE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Rechargeable batteries for the controllers:

I've heard other people recommend different batteries but these have worked well for me - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IM3P8GS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This guy.

I used to use a Kingston Datatraveler, but it died within about the first 2-3 weeks of ownership. This Samsung one has been going much longer.

If/when this one becomes insufficient then I'm going to flip to a TeslaUSB Raspberry Pi implementation.

I also bought one of these AmazonBasics USB Type-C to USB 3.1 Gen1 Female Adapter Cable - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GGKYXVE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_SHUIlTuORLyN8 so I could plug the drive directly in to my phone and use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snailboat.teslacamreviewer to review the footage on my phone.

I then delete the videos I don't like/want. If I want to keep the video I either copy it to my phone, or upload it directly to my OneDrive, via the phone, so I can use a desktop app to fiddle with it.

u/Hell0Everyone · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

Does anyone know any good USB-C Chargers that actually supply the full 18w to an undocked switch? For example, is this charger good for it? I heard the Google Pixel 18w charger is good. Also, if I use a female USB-A to C adapter with my Pro Controller cable (example), would that support the full 18w charging?

I'd like a cheaper, USB-C both ends cable recommendation too.

u/chickenstickers · 1 pointr/NintendoSwitch

I should say: I’ve noticed all these same problems when docked with the LAN adapter connected. Undocked, but using a USB-C OTG adapter in handheld mode works with the LAN adapter. So strange.

u/Anaphase · 1 pointr/OP1users

Over USB, yes. I saw some video on youtube where a guy hooked up a midi keyboard (I think a keystep?) with a little usb type a to type c adapter (like this). You'll need the adapter unless you have a midi keyboard with USB-C out.

u/pmdevita · 1 pointr/GalaxyTab

Literally any bluetooth mouse is fine or usb wire/less + USB C OTG wire (like this one). You can't charge the Tab while using a USB mouse unless you get another adapter so I'd probably recommend the bluetooth option unless you want to use it with more devices

u/Tooj_Mudiqkh · 1 pointr/AndroidQuestions

Ah - OK, so I'm assuming you have an A device (with a B socket or a captive / fixed USB plug) as the DAC?

 

If your device just has a USB plug, then you need either one of those all in one PD hubs with at least one A socket, or the two headed dongle linked by the other user + a C to A adapter.

 

If your device has a USB-B socket at the device end, you can get C to B cables, so the mini PD hub linked by the other guy + cable should get you C PD + B connectivity.

e.g. if you have a USB2.0 DAC, then you'll need a C to 2.0 B cable.

If it's a USB3.0 device, then you'll need a C to 3.0 B cable.

Those are just examples - I don't have any of those cables, and you will need to be careful - especially with the 2.0 B cables, make sure they have the resistor as a minimum and look at reviews.

u/saeedysn22 · 1 pointr/SmashBrosUltimate

Yes it does. It's an awkward angle since you need to plug it into the bottom. But it does work. I own the Amazon Basics USB Type-C to USB 3.1 Gen1 Female Adapter Cable. And I've never had an issue.
