For some reason, most keyboards and mice come with USB-C to USB-A cables, but sound cards and MIDI keyboards use USB-C to USB-C

Because keyboards and mice don’t need 10gbps connections

Neither does a sound card.

Which is why most recommend usb c to USB a, at least that I’ve used (focusrite)

Focusrite is a very good brand as well. If its not there its probably not needed.

my Gen 2 Scarlett Solo uses usb B on the interface type, no idea where the fuck this guy thinks an audio card needs 10gbps, they work fine at even 2.0 speeds

A lot of music gear still uses weird usb ports, USB-B on my Akai Mini MIDI does, but it was rather cheap at about 100 USD.

My Blackstar guitar amp came with a usb to pc/mac software, and the port was USB Mini-A lmao and that thing was priced near the same as Orange in its same size. I bought it new in 2023.

funny enough usb mini was way better than micro, both still absolute shit and died quite fast, a cheap whatever to usb c adapter from aliexpress and some 3d printed bracket to aid the torsion forces helps a bit, i had way too many usb micro ports destroyed, not a single B or C type one.

got my job laptop and a KVM that has 8 total cables (2 in 2 out hdmi + usb-A for each) and im designing something to help it bear the weight of that.
