Review on πŸ”Œ Electop Updated USB 3.1 GEN 2 Male to Type-C Female Adapter (2 Pack) - Double Sided 10Gbps Charging & Data Transfer, USB A to USB C 3.1 Converter (Black) by Sirious Cavalli

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fast and easy to use

Used to connect my iPad as a secondary monitor to my 2015 MacBook Pro via the Duet app and it's fast enough that there's no noticeable lag . It turned out to be less than I expected which was a pleasant surprise. I also like that the USB-C connector is reversible, unlike some others, so I don't have to think about how to plug it in. A quick note on using the iPad as a second monitor - I use the short (3ft) connector. Thunderbolt 3 cable and it works on my MacBook Pro with no problems. I tried the same setup on my carbon fiber Lenovo X1 with the built in and this USB-A to USB-C adapter and unfortunately found that there was transient glitches/lag when moving the mouse. It doesn't happen with video so it's probably something software related, but I just wanted to show it to others trying to emulate my setup - it works smoother on a Mac.

Pros
  • USB to USB adapter
Cons
  • unreliable
