Lightning cable to Thunderbolt 2

Hi


I have a 2015 iMac and have always used battery apple keyboard and mouse. This year I was given as a gift a new magic mouse and magic keyboard which are rechargeable. The cable supplied is a lightning cable which expects USB-C port on the iMac. However mine, being 2015, only has Thunderbolt 2 ports. I do have a USB-C to USB 3.1 adaptor which I can use but obviously this will be much slower for charging.


Does anyone know whether there is a USB-C to Thunderbolt 2 adaptor still on the market ??


many thanks

John

I have that very model.


Just use the USB-A port. From a practical standpoint, charging times are not going to vary between TB2 and USB.


Devices draw power; sources don't push power. The mouse and KBD will draw exactly what they need regardless of port.
