Makalu max cable exclusivity?

[tyswid]

Anyone who use the Makalu Max (or any mountain product) know of any requirements for the cable? I've found that only the cable that came in the box works but I'd like to get a backup in case I loose it, break it, or just can't use it.

You mean the USB C cable?

Any good quality cable should work, unless of course the manufacturer of that mouse did something with the connector that isn't up to USB spec.

Its a C to A cable. Don't know if there was anything else for the spec requirements gen 3x2.2 etc etc

To rephrase, I don't know if its just a usb 3, a 3 gen 2, a 3 gen 2x2, etc and was wondering if anyone tested it so I can buy one that works.

Yeah looks like its just typical USB 2 Type C. Don't even think of the data bandwidth or power, its standard 10W charging and most mice only transmit at worst 1 megabyte per second which any Type C cable can do.

In case of a cable for a mouse it really doesn't matter.

 

Here are the current standards:

05Gbit/s - USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0, USB 3.1 Gen1)
10Gbit/s - USB 3.2 Gen 2 (USB 3.1, USB 3.1 Gen2)
20Gbit/s - USB 3.2 Gen 2 x 2

40Gbit/s - USB 4

 

As SorryBella mentioned, your mouse won't even need the 5Gbit/s that USB 3.2 Gen 1 offers. Any USB C to A or USB C to C cable should work just fine.
