Hey everyone! I’m looking for some advice on using a USB A Male to USB C Male cable for my PS5 controller. I have a Steam Deck docked to my TV, but the dock only has one USB C port and three USB A ports, of which only one is free (the others are occupied by a keyboard and a mouse). Since I sit pretty far from the TV, my regular DualSense cable isn’t long enough.
Is there a reputable brand that offers an ‘active’ USB A to USB C cable? I want to make sure it can charge my controller while I play without damaging anything. I know some cheaper options are just passive cables, and while I could get a USB C hub, I’d prefer not to add another device to the setup. Any help would be appreciated, thanks! 🤞

You can definitely find those cables on Amazon! They have a wide variety of conversion cables available.
USB A to USB C cables work great with PS5 controllers, so you should be good to go! Just make sure to choose a quality brand to avoid issues.
Don’t forget, you can also connect the PS5 controller via Bluetooth if all else fails. It’s super convenient! Just go to your settings and pair it up.
If you’re looking for even more options, check out Aliexpress. They have some pretty wild choices!
