Unranged

Hey, just a quick question here. With all the USB4 docks and hubs coming out, I'm curious if they still maintain the ability to be used with older, pre-USB-C computers, using a certified superspeed USB-A to USB-C cable. Older USB-C docks with removable cables were basically the only standards-compliant way to convert USB-A to USB-C. Would be great to continue doing this with USB4.

Obviously this would remove display support and thunderbolt / PCIE pass through, but would these USB4 docks and hubs continue to function in USB mode? Or is this functionality no longer supported?

Hey, early Kickstarter backer here, been using and enjoying the Raise since I got it!

I'm curious, who manufactured the keycaps? They're some of the best backlit keycaps I've ever seen, and I'd love to get a full-size set for one of my TKL boards.

Thanks!

I purchased an Alt on Amazon, and it appears to have a defective USB-C implementation. Using any USB-C to USB-C cable with an e-marker causes the Alt to fail to make a connection, or to only make a connection in one orientation.

At first I thought I had a problem unit, but unless I'm mistaken, this appears to be a widespread problem.

The Raspberry Pi 4 recently launched with a similar issue, but they've since corrected the problem: https://medium.com/@leung.benson/how-to-design-a-proper-usb-c-power-sink-hint-not-the-way-raspberry-pi-4-di
