    $10 for an adaptor? I would look for it on eBay unless you definitely need a window logo on it.

      The difference is, this should work reliably.

        It's iffy… I bought 3 at $1.6/per and 2 of them have worked for over 2 years now. 1 of them on a daily basis

        Maybe just buy a few eBay ones if you can wait

        • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2020 - 11:50

          you mean the ebay ones or this one

        I bought a five pack of USB A to USB C adaptors on eBay for $12 delivered back in 2016 my MacBook Pro, still using them all today.

      Don't forget to factor in wait time, most of the cheap adapters on EBay are dropped shipped. Also this would more reliable than a third party item.

      I bought a cheap adapter on ebay.. used it for a week and it just ceased to work

      eBay ones are crap. Brought one and it corrupted my USB after a few uses.

          Yup. same thing happened with my $2 SD card reader. Not surprising though. The device probably had a loose cable or some blew which caused a short, killing the device.

          • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2020 - 11:55

            @No Username: damn i will stop using mine now.

            This seem like a better deal but i woodier if they r made in the same factory

              @[Deactivated]: I've also used this in the past: https://www.amazon.com.au/Rankie-Adapter-Hi-Speed-2-Pack-Bla…

              No issues with it so far. But have not used it everyday. Reviews are good and it is $15 for two if you are looking for a spare. Would still choose the Microsoft one though. Since they are a reputable brand and would not want to loose that.

              • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2020 - 12:09

                @No Username: true will go with the microsoft one. but will keep that in mind

            • Boioioioi on 25/06/2020 - 16:42

              @[Deactivated]: I wouldn't worry about it mate. USB c to USB A adapter is a passive device.

              There are no active electronics, it's just some wires between two connectors.

              A bad one is just as risky as wobbling the USB in a port. Not very.

              Most are good too

              • [Deactivated] on 25/06/2020 - 20:43

                @Boioioioi: BTW, one of my usb port is wobbly when plug in a usb device, is that bad, does it mean like it will break off

        • JPerez on 24/06/2020 - 14:46

          Some USB devices (drives, etc.) install messed up drivers too

            @JPerez: Had this happened to me too but not a driver issue something more severe. Brought a cheap gaming mouse for $12 on Ali Express and turns out it had a virus loaded on it. The mouse still functioned though. The virus itself wasn't destructive but more annoying. It was basically un removable adware. The funny thing is that it would make your PC crash if you attempted to search for malware bytes. From that day on I never brought anything created by a Chinese company due to them installing key loggers and backdoors.

            • [Deactivated] on 24/06/2020 - 19:33

              @No Username: wait what did i just read, thats a thing.
              I would assume it is a keylogger

              Note to self, never buy peripherals from chinese companies or from china.

    If you dont mind waiting a month or so, ebay has plenty for less than $2.

    I think this is the best price for local ones

  • theguyrules on 24/06/2020 - 10:20

    I need the opposite of this adapter - USB-A to USB-C (USB 3.1) for my Oculus Quest - any suggestions?

    Thanks for this! I'm slowly buying bits and bobs for my upcoming new Surface Laptop 3 I intend to get next month, so grabbed a USB-C to USB-A adaptor. From 4 USB-A slots on my current laptop to only one, but now I can have two!

      ? There's currently 20% off during eofy, might be better price than next month though? Or FY related?

      • kerfuffle on 24/06/2020 - 11:02

        Buying it on the last day of the 20% sale next month i.e. 5th :)

          I got it last week. Be careful with the stock. I was looking for i7 model and it went out of stock in the store near my home.

          • kerfuffle on 24/06/2020 - 12:33

            @fiveferrari: I've got a car and JB Hi-Fi, HN, The Good Guys and Microsoft all have the 15" Ryzen 7 16GB/512GB model in stock; worst case scenario I'll just buy it online from Microsoft (I prefer to buy in person)

      You should try one of the USB-c hubs with a HDMI out. my current laptop has 3 usb-c only and the touchpad is broken. I use a usb-c hub to connect a mouse.

      • kerfuffle on 24/06/2020 - 12:32

        I have a bluetooth mouse, so this was more for if I connect an optical drive and I also need a USB stick plugged in as an example. Was tempted to get a USB-C to HDMI one as well, but I didn't think I needed it

    Purchased a triple mini-display port to VGA/HDMI/DVI adapter off Amazon for $15 last year and it works perfectly.

  • VerticallyIntegrated on 24/06/2020 - 10:39

    Would these work with a MacBook that only has USB-C ports?

      Can confirm that it works out of the box on my 16" Pro (Ethernet and USB 3).

    keep in mind it’s usb 3.0 (not 3.1 gen 2). Stating as someone would expect 10Gb/s after conversion.

  • dufflover on 24/06/2020 - 11:33

    I think I saw this at Daiso over the weekend - no idea if it's USB 3.0 capable though.

    The Microsoft Surface Dial is a steal. If only it was in stock near me.

    • A Banana4scale on 24/06/2020 - 11:56

      Wagga Wagga and Penrith were the nearest ones for me SMH

    • TheZohan on 24/06/2020 - 11:56

      I am unfortunately a Surface fanboi, I watched the video for the Dial and it gave no insight into what it could actually be used for. Pottery maybe? ;-)

      Any tips on how it would be useful?

      • No Username on 24/06/2020 - 12:03

        I never got use to using a drawing tablet. So using something small like this is perfect for me since all I mostly do is panning and zooming in. My plan is to use Adobe AI and XD without the keyboard if I had this.

        Pottery could be good since it would allow for more fluid navigation and viewing of your model.

          OK now… so where are there two in stock? Haha.

    Would the adaptor allows to convert a USB 3.0 docking station to a usb-C one? Wouldn't charge the laptop though?

  • guptsur on 24/06/2020 - 12:03

    Bought one from ebay for $3.50 .. so not much of a deal if you ask me. For all these adapters and converters I simply use ebay.

    Update - I am referring to USB-C to USB 3.0/1 adapter.

  • cherokeel on 24/06/2020 - 12:03

    no way it's a deal , more of a 80% profit rather than 2500% to me!

    Anyone got a ready to collect e-mail yet? My item's since gone out of stock at my local GG so not sure whether it's been cancelled and I should try another store, or if this is due to COVID-19 (in which if it is, they should take away the 2 hour Click and Collect thing on their page)

    Edit: Yay, ready to collect! Hopefully it's not a returned item, being the last one in stock …
