    How to make the transition relatively painlessly:

    1. Buy a bunch of these, and tie one to the end of every USB C cable, now you only need USB C cables around.

    1. As you get more C-C cables, buy these for your existing USB A ports:

      Should the C to micro cables always work for charging?

      Think I bought a bunk one… I never cheap out on cables anymore, of course the one time in YEARS that I do…

        Usb C has a default of 5V, 2A. This matches/exceeds the micro USB standards. In order to get a higher voltage, it negotiates up. (Or it’s supposed to! China can produce some NASTY exceptions!)

        Yeah, I think so…

        I do have some micro usb devices that won’t work with some newer Power Delivery Adapters, but it’s the brick part, not the USB C cable since the same cable / adapter will work with a different brick.
