How to succeed each time you connect USB

connect, succeed, time, USB


It looks ridiculous, but keep in mind that the USB Type-C (reversible USB-C) connector is real This is done so that it doesn't matter how it is connected, unlike USB Type-A, which can come in only one way. In fact, there are memes and "words" in the computer jargon that say USB should be connected three times: the first one doesn't plug in, you switch it on, the second one doesn't, you reconnect, and thirdly You can connect USB properly (the grace is that in the third connector it is on the same side as the first one).

To take the opposite of a meme, we'll show you some tricks to keep you successful the first time you connect your USB devices with the Type-A connector.

How to always connect USB for the first time

USB Type-A connectors are rectangular, so they can be interconnected alternately in one place or another. However, they are not, because inside they are half empty, while in the other half there are a piece of plastic their connectors are located on them. This is a type A spacer, which is carried by devices such as a mouse, keyboard, or USB sticks.

And it's the female connectors, which carry for example motherboards on the back of the PC, or those that have PC boxes on the front. They are very similar to the male connectors but on the other hand, they also carry half and a plastic clip and connectors that will make direct contact with the male connectors.

Knowing this, the trick is as follows: when a female USB connector is in a certain position, that is, with the widest part of the globe, we should connect the USB male plastic part of the bottom and an empty place.

If, on the other hand, the USB connector is vertical, as in most PC cases, then the first method is to place the plastic and the left. In other words, if you hold the male connector with the right hand, the thumb will be in the connecting position with the plastic part.

Of course, if the mother board connector is in the back of the box and its front is facing us (so we will have to connect blindly), we should take the connector upwards because it will be adjusted in our position. If it was a front, it should be done as described in the previous section.

This is the "science" when it comes to calling the first time we want to connect USB. However, do not give up, because we already told you earlier that if you cannot connect to the first one, you will reach the third one.
