Works great when 2018 MBP is connected to Mini DisplayPort Dual-Link DVI Adapter

After going to hell with the keys, I bought a more expensive 2018 13-inch MacBook with 4 USB-C ports. After finding out that there was no USB-C to Dual-Link DVI adapter to connect to my ASUS monitor at 2560 x 1440, everything worked fine for me with this adapter. Here is my setup: - This USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter - Apple Mini DisplayPort Dual Link DVI Adapter https://www.amazon.com/Mini-DisplayPort-Dual-Link-DVI-Adapter /dp/B0751RL35H/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1540172588&sr=8-3&keywords=apple+mini +displayport +to+dual-link+dvi+adapter- Apple USB-C to USB Adapter https://www.amazon. com/Apple-USB-C-to-USB-Adapter/dp/B00VU2OID2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540171605&sr=8-1&keywords=apple+usb-c+to+usbNote: This Revain Basics is $10 cheaper and probably a better choice: https://www.amazon.com/Apple-USB-C-to-USB-Adapter /dp/B00VU2OID2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1540171605&sr=8-1&keywords=apple+usb- c+to+usb The DVI adapter requires two connectors: DisplayPort for video and another USB connector for additional power. Along with my laptop's power input which only has 3 ports, I'm glad I went for the 13" MBP with 4 ports instead of 2. If you have a 2-port MBP, you need an external USB power hub for extra power. Side note: I was tempted to use a 2-port MBP to avoid the touchpad as I like having an escape key. I decided to tolerate the touchpad in exchange for 4 ports when I discovered it was possible to remap capital letters. for Escape and Control" - Caps Lock counts as Escape when pressed alone, or Control when used with another key.

Pros
