Ive never had a USB-C with orientation issues. What am I missing?
I have heard on some adapter cables from USB-A to C, you can have the C end flipped 180 and on devices not expecting this you get a different transfer speed on the A end. Rather then build in redundancy and duplicate the transmission path they've just built a cheap this should go this way device.
thats less of a USB issue and more of a cheap ass knockoff manufacturer issue.
What did I just read 🤷♂️
You have to plug it either — horizontal or — horizontal (upside down). You can't plug it / or | or \, so you have to do more twisting and bending in the dark or to reach a far / beyond-corner connector.
We'd literally and figuratively come full circle back to barrel plugs hahaha.
USB A has 4 pins. You could use a tip ring ring sleeve cable like on a headset
