Are you sure? A bunch of arcade sticks use a USB A port to plug in an official controller and bypass some chekcs for console support. I assume you actually own this and it came with a male A to male A cable in the box? As in you're not accidentally plugging in a USB A cable going to your computer in the port meant to plug in either a console controller or a bypass dongle?

I am, to be clear, asking for a friend and was never super confused about why my brand new leverless controller wasn't working, myself.

I have a keyboard like this, yes it came with the cable (same A male plug each end) and yes it's used as a USB device.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
