Type C connector is the new design for USB 3.1 and can support charging and data transfer. This adapter can convert the data which is USB-C head used into the ordinary USB 3.0 data cable. USB-C USB 3.1 Type C Female to USB 3.0 A Male Data Adapter for Macbook Tablet Mobile Phone How about the peripherals though? Is there any chance it would work if a female USB-C to male USB 3.0 adapter or cable was used between the desktop and the display? If there is no chance, any other solution? Input source is not an issue as desktop would be connected over HDMI.

Now comes the tricky part, desktop PC doesn't have an USB-C port. I would like being able to switch the display between the laptop and a desktop PC with the least cable swapping possible whilst peripherals (mouse and keyboard) stay connected to the monitor's USB downstream ports. Let say I would pick DELL S2718D display. As I need to buy a new display anyway, I wanted to make my life easier with an USB-C one cable connection to my laptop (Razer Blade Stealth, it shouldn't matter for the question though).
