Need adapter type-C (male) to type-A (female) recommendations.

I got a new MacBook Air M3 and I used to have an Android PC, so I have a mouse of usb-a cable and was looking for adapters. I had my eye on this one but I just wanted more recommendations:

That USB-A/C adapter will be fine to use for a mouse or keyboard. It would likely be fine for other devices as well. These are simple adapters. Keyboards and mice require nothing special as far as data rates are concerned, so less expensive adapters will probably be fine.


I've used Xaosun branded adapters for external drives and have had no problems. I appreciate that housing is metal and seem well constructed. I tend to break plastic adapters.
