    Ive never had a USB-C with orientation issues. What am I missing?

      I have heard on some adapter cables from USB-A to C, you can have the C end flipped 180 and on devices not expecting this you get a different transfer speed on the A end. Rather then build in redundancy and duplicate the transmission path they’ve just built a cheap this should go this way device.

      You have to plug it either — horizontal or — horizontal (upside down). You can’t plug it / or | or \, so you have to do more twisting and bending in the dark or to reach a far / beyond-corner connector.
