Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop!
iamnotme@feddit.uk 4 days agoI bought a cheap ish keyboard that would only charge with USB A - USB C cable that came with it. Nothing else worked.
My son lost the cable and that keyboard is now junk.

Have you tried another USB-A to USB-C cable?
Those cables are cheap that it’s maybe worth a try, IMHO.
If I remember it correctly the only thing any USB-A to USB-C adaptor has to have to properly allow backwards compatibility is 2 resistors, which are stupidly cheap components (yeah, it will never be able to support things like USB PD charging - which can do all the way up to 100W - but it should still handle about 4.5W A from a USB Host device and up to 15W from a dumb charger, which should be more than enough for a wireless keyboard).

I’ll have another look online. The ones I had didn’t work but it’s worth another shot I guess. I’ve got another keyboard now, but it’s useful to have a working backup.
