    USB-C is pin-compatible with every single other USB plug, so you should be able to get away with all USBC cables and some adapters for whatever plug type you’re trying to plug in.

    There are only 3 types of pin sets, USB-C(USB 3.0 pins + 3 extra pins), USB-3.0(USB 1.0 + 5 extra pins) and USB-2.0 and lower. Everything else version wise is the controller on the actual board, not the cable.

    Cable-wise you only need one to get the benefit of every other plug on the market.

      Adapters have their place, and I do have a few, but they’re no cheaper than cables and a bit annoying.
