I have a Komplete Kontrol S61 MK2 keyboard. I have the appropriate cables but want to know has anyone used a USB B to C cable to connect their keyboard? Is it possible without messing anything up? I am running a 2019 Intel Mac mini.

Thank you

    I’ve been using DJ TechTools USB B to C cables for many years without any issue whatsoever, including with a KK S49 Mk2.

    And… to answer your exact request: I use an USB B to USB C cable constantly to plug my Maschine+ directly to the iPad Pro with USB C (but in this case it’s the iPad which is controlling the M+) and also many other USB B devices to the iPad.

    Edit: made a couple more tests to be sure not to give incorrect infos: USB B to USB C cable works with my Maschine MK3 and my KK S49 MK1, so I don’t see why it should not with your KK S61 MK2
    (But I see also Dissekt corrected his post from talking about USB A to USB C, so you already had the answer)

    Interesting, we've never been asked this before, it's usually the other way around. It should work, I've never tried it myself but I use a USB C hub on a M1 Macbook Air and the MK2 keyboard works like a charm. It should also work with an adapter.
