While USB Type-C is the new standard, many PC accessories still rely on the traditional USB Type-A for charging and connectivity—especially if you don't upgrade your mouse, keyboard, or headset every year. Here's a simple and budget-friendly fix. For a limited period, Amazon is offering a 3-pack of Basesailor USB Type-C to USB Type-A Adapters for just $3.80 when you apply coupon code "NL43TTBJ". That breaks down to only $1.27 per adapter. At this cost, it’s worth stocking up for future needs.

3-Pack USB Type-C to USB Type-A Adapters for $3.80

Basesailor USB Type-C to USB Type-C Adapters (3-Pack)

List Price: $9.99 | 62% Off | $3.80 at Amazon with code 'NL43TTBJ'

This set includes three USB Type-A (female) to USB Type-C (male) connectors, which are USB 3.0 certified and capable of data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. They’re great for linking and charging wireless headsets, keyboards, mice, card readers, and other accessories that still use USB Type-A. While suitable for external storage drives, depending on the drive type, you might not reach its maximum speed (especially with NVMe SSDs).

These adapters don’t support Power Delivery fast charging, so they’re not the best choice for iPhones or the Nintendo Switch—though they can provide slower emergency charging. Compact and made from aluminum alloy, they sit flush and are almost throwaway affordable at just over $1 each.
