I would like to buy a mechanical keyboard (it's a wired, RGB gaming type) which comes has a removable USB C cable. The cable has a USB C connection on both ends. However, my PC does not have a USB C port. I have a bunch of USB A ports. Is there anyway I can connect this to a USB A port? I'm guessing I can't just use any old USB A to USB C adaptor as it needs to carry data (and these adaptors seem to be for charging only). Same for the USB A to USB C cables, these seem to be for charging only, rather than data.

Any suggestions or advice?

Anker do a few that do data as well as charging.

Search on the big retailer place for the following: B08RN2VMCC

I'm using one that goes from my MOTU M4 to my laptop, it's an external audio interface for microphones, headphones etc so it's all data, works a treat. Just check the usb connector to the keyboard though as it's a right angle :)
