Hi all, I’m trying to connect a mouse with a standard USB-A plug, which is of course missing from the M1 laptop. I’d like to avoid using extra converters if possible, so I thought the screen’s USB socket will just work fine, except that they don’t. Do you know, is it possible somehow to use these as intended?
Using an external screen automatically means more work for the GPU, which will drain power and generate heat. But if you’re near an external screen, there should be a power source?
I have this hub for a single screen setups. While it doesn’t have it’s own power supply, it has an USB-C port in which you can just plug in the charger and then the hub can also charge.
