Will the Maschine mk3 pads brighten up when using a usb-c port on a m1 mac mini?

I recently purchased a secondhand maschine mk3… but havent got possesion of it yet, as its still sitting at the postage place i sent it to

i understand that the mk3 when powered via usb… the led's of the pads are somewhat less brighter than if the unit was using a power brick via AC

does anyone know if a port on a m1 mac mini… namely the thunderbolt 3 port will brighten up the LED's if the cable is a usb-c to usb-A??

im just curious.

No.

The Port max capabilities do not matter because at the end of the day Maschine is a USB-2 device, so it uses those power specs, it does not take advantage of USB3, USB4 or thunderbolt much higher power delivery.
