Can someone recommend a cheap but working Thunderbolt 3 / USB C to USB A 3.0 Adapter for use on an iMac that is available locally?

I bought the really cheap ones on AliExpress and they do not quit fit.

Thanks

What brand did you buy? Could you post the link for us to review so that we know what to avoid in the future?
I generally had bought the ones from Dodocool USB C to USB A adaptor and it works well on my MacBook Pro 15" Touchbar.
Here is the link for your information.

I ordered this one:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32880695389....2d627553zNeJev

But they are all indistinguishable.

Is the one you bought available at Sri Computer or All IT?

I hesitate to order this stuff online - it's just a waste of time if it doesn't work.

By the way, yours says non OTG and mine says OTG - what exactly is OTG?

A bit late but I use uGreen or Baseus for my cheaper USB C to USB A adapters. Shopee has RM9 free shipping now so a good time to get spares if you don’t need urgently.

For faster speeds (USB 3.0), I use Aukey. Ships locally so it’s fast, but it is a bit more expensive. uGreen and Baseus have USB 3.0 adapters too if you want to try those out.

The above are available in some local IT shops, but with a markup so I usually prefer to buy online and wait for delivery.
