At least microUSB always works, with Chinese USB-C boards they skimp on the CC pull-ups so the ports don't work with typeC to typeC cables.

Oh, I was trying to understand why cheap chiniseum USB-C-powered products off Amazon were only charging from a cheap USB-A brick and not from my quality USB C chargers.

try combining a type c male to USB female adapter and a USB A to type c cable together to get a working type c to type c cable

I suspect the microUSB would actually fail in OTG mode for the same reasons in that case though? It's the same thing in terms of needing extra resistors.

Ugh, that one was killing me the other day. I went through 3 different cables before I found a hardware designer on the company's discord who could explain the issue.

Ok, that explains it. I have a usb powered LED lamp that I’ve been trying to recharge via a c to c cable- but it only works with a b to c.

Thought it might be the cable at first, but it was general. Just couldn’t think of a reason why it wasn’t supported though…
