After yet another 12-hour day of coding Kevin Systrom’s nerves were frayed. It was
June 2010, and he had spent seven months working on a Foursquare-like social check-in app that was going absolutely nowhere. Desperate, he and his cofounder, Mike Krieger, decided to chuck the app and make a photo-sharing tool instead. Now they had to convince their founding investor–a guy named Steve Anderson, who wrote their first check, for $250,000, four months earlier. The young entrepreneurs slumped across the street into the appropriately named Crossroads Cafe, a cheapo San Francisco establishment staffed by ex-convicts.

Anderson knew the numbers were bad. They’d been talking about it for weeks. The young founders told him their plan to start fresh, not sure if their backer would be irate, disappointed or sympathetic. Anderson rubbed the ginger stubble on his chin and stared at the table. It didn’t take him long, however, to look up with a grin: “Well, what the hell took you so long?”

If you have a drawer full of micro-USB accessories and a new USB Type-C laptop, tablet or phone, these add-ons will help keep you connected.

The new USB-C connection

There's a new USB in town -- the Type-C port. Smaller than the familiar USB Type-A, the USB-C plug uses the latest USB 3.1 specification, which means it's not only faster but reversible, eliminating the frustration of trying to insert a USB plug upside-down. Able to carry up to 100 watts of power (six times the USB 3.0 limit), a USB-C port can deliver up to 10Gbps -- double that of current USB 3.0 devices.

Although USB-C has been on its way for some time, there haven't been a lot of devices that use it -- until recently. Apple's 12-inch MacBook started the trend last year and was followed by other laptops (such as Lenovo's Yoga 900 and Dell'sLatitude 12 7000), tablets (Asus's ZenPad S8 and Google's Pixel C) and smartphones (Google's Nexus 5X and 6P). And that's only the beginning.

The problem: All those micro-USB and mini-USB hubs, cables, chargers and adapters that you've collected over the last several years can't plug into your new USB-C port.

But don't despair. There are already a variety of USB-C accessories available, including adapters for your older equipment. So if you're using a USB-C device, here are some gadgets to help you use it.
