I'm looking for guidance on finding a reliable USB-C (male) to USB 3 (female) adapter for my Quest 2. I've tested multiple adapters, but none of them seem to deliver the actual USB 3 speeds. Even though the port is blue inside, it's missing the necessary super speed pins and only has the standard four pins. I live in Egypt and have doubts about the quality of products available here, especially since my background includes some time working for Amazon. I found a specific adapter, the UGREEN Type-C to USB-A 3.0 Converter, but I'm not sure if it genuinely offers USB 3 performance. Has anyone had a similar experience or found a good adapter in Egypt or on Amazon? Any tips would be super helpful!

It sounds like you're having a tough time! I recommend looking for a USB 3.1 or 3.2 adapter instead. They tend to have better build quality and are more likely to give you the speeds you're after. Check out this one I found online; it seems solid!

I had a similar issue! I ended up getting a USB 3.2 cable directly instead of using an adapter. It made a huge difference in speed. If all else fails, consider going for a direct USB 3.2 to USB-C cable instead. You might find it easier and more reliable. Just a thought!
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll consider picking up a USB 3.2 cable if that’s a more straightforward option.
