I have a newer computer (bought in 2020) and the first thing I noticed was it's lack of USB 2.0 ports. Three ports exist for Type-C USB but not for any other USB types. Since my printer and a few other objects only work with the old USB, the best option was for me to buy a few of these and keep them plugged into any electronics I use that would require it so I don't have to run around the house looking for these adapters every time I need to use the printer. So far, it's worked perfectly and I haven't had any issues. Would highly recommend buying something like this instead of paying 5x the price for the exact same thing.
