Have a MacBook Air. from it I have a triple connector with a
USC-C; HDMI and a regular USB port [which I can drive my printer with and work my mouse]. I tried to add and aftermarket USB-C/USB connecter to be able to leave my mouse hooked up and drive my printer. Alas, this after-market connector neither worked the mouse nor the printer.
Thoughts in order to have 2 USB hook ups??
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2

External Powered USB Hub:
If you are connecting high powered devices(i.e. printer) to this hub, then use an external-powered USB hub.

Use an Adapter
Yes, it would likely work, but you may need adapters to connect things. In this case, you need to perform a hardwired connection of USB-A. So, this is the adapter to use: USB-C to USB Adapter - Apple Support
You may need a hub that has at least 2 USB-A dedicated ports I have a hub that connects to both USB-C ports on my Mac Air M1. It connects to both ports in order to provide sufficient power to the hub.
I go the apple USB-C to USB cable. It will NEITHER drive my mouse nor printer,. not back-up memory
What does the triple manifold from the Mac Air [USB-C] drive: It has the HDMI; the USB and the USB_C drive. What does the USB-C port actually work???????
