Type C is supposed to do this, but just produced pic related

>>60893651
maybe you want to check your mouse bro, probably has AUTISM

U dont read , dont you ?

It was made over 20 years ago. Needs change and over time. It's called universal because anything of the same designation should meet the same standards.

either your computer or your mouse is not actually up to standard or is defective in some way

>>60893671
Type C solves a lot of fucking problems and also integrates other ports into the mix (DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3).

It's also 100% backwards compatible with a passive dongle you can get for $5 anywhere.

>>60894623
>(DisplayPort, Thunderbolt 3)
HDMI too, It just need more widespread adoption.

>>60894623
not universal then

also 5$ jsus

>>60894704
HDMI isn't relevant when DP is an option

>>60894785
>when DP is an option
Conference room tv's/projectors almost never have DP and always have HDMI.

USB type A isnt universal, it can't transport PCIe or DisplayPort lanes
Seriously, USB C is everything we need, why are faggots bitching about this?
I don't own any type C stuff because my gears are old and cheap, but I hope in 5 years C will be everywhere.

>>60893651
USB type C will be universal very soon. Problem is your trying to use legacy tech with modern tech.

>USB devices will be USB C
>USB host will be USB C as well
>Screen will be USB C (with DisplayPort)
>LAN-sized networks cables will be USB C (with PCIe)
>eGPU will become a standard, because you can plug a graphic card enclosure with USB C on every laptop
>Chargers will be USB C, because new USB power spec
>Monitors will act as docking stations that can charge the laptop, attach them to the network, act as USB hub... With a single USB C cable
>you can use your phone as small external monitor (see Asus Zenfone 3 Ultra), or plug your phone on your TV
>You will find USB C sockets at MacDonald's and in airports

This is the future

>>60893651
The bus is universal.

>>60893651
Modern chipsets have started gimping the USB1 support. I have a nice flatbed scanner that won't sensibly work with a Z97 machine.

>if you're going to call yourself a UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS
They're not, though. They're called USB X where X is the generation of the technology with which they're universal.
See, OP? We can all be autistic about naming schemes.

>>60895524
No dumby. The bus is universal, the connections may not be.
Hosts were always USB-A until USB-OTG came along, which was micro-B. Now USB-C can also be used as host.

>>60895389
This. I can't wait for USB C to be everywhere.
It finally happened and we can move on from inferior shit-tier standards and embrace an enlightened state of computing connectivity.

>>60895389
>Seriously, USB C is everything we need, why are faggots bitching about this?
Type A was everything we needed back then, too. In a few years, C will be obsolete and >>60893671 (the pic) will happen once again.

>Modern chipsets have started gimping the USB1 support.

for what fucking purpose.

The great thing about USB is/was that everything worked with everything.

Plug an ancient mouse in a usb2 port and it will work just fine. Plug a modern flash drive in a P2 with usb 1.1a and it will work just fine, at limited speed.

>for what fucking purpose.

>oh shit people are using their old stuff how do we get them to buy new products?

>>60893651
If I had to guess, the problem is with some nonstandard hid driver.

>>60893671
The problem is the USB Implementation Forum (USB-IF) is a clusterfuck and techies make the standards. If they were smart they would have made requirements for minimum USB standards for different connectors like Type C. Instead they make USB 3.0, rename it USB 3.1 Gen 1, and then what was actually USB 3.1 was renamed to USB 3.1 Gen 2. Then people buy USB 3.1 devices expecting new features and higher speed than USB 3.0, but they get a 3.1 G1 device and basically get bamboozled.

>Apple will still use their own proprietary connections

>>60896417
Old ones can suck my dick for not being able to go in both ways

C is good for that alone

>>60897518
Old ones work the same, no matter if it's usb 1, 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0/3.1

C can suck my dick for that alone
