With more and more devices going USBc, why is it so hard to find a hub with more than 2 usbc ports?  I don't need a 12-in-1 docking station; I need a whole bunch of USBc ports that I can plug into one, preferably USBc port.   Why is that so hard to find?

thnks, but I was hoping for more than 4 ports, and I don't need the usba.  one of those looks like it might work, but I'm wary of random brands from Amazon.

Genuinely curious, what is your use case for more than 4 USB-C devices?  

ask me about my homelab

on a personal quest convincing the general public to return to the glory that is 12" laptops.

cheap and easy cable management is my fetish.

These devices are running USB-C cables? I literally have never heard of a printer or scanner that doesn't run USB-A (to USB-B).

If he's like me, he probably replaced the included USB-A to USB-B cable with a USB-C to USB-B.

I did that at work because our laptops have 3 USB-C ports and only 1 USB-A -_-
