The guy at the apple store tried to sell me their $20 adapter and swore to me that this one wouldn't work, it works perfectly I recommend buying this one before an apple one!

Works well (iMac, Thunderbolt 3, CD/DVD burner, keyboard)

I'm using this adapter cable to connect a USB 2 optical drive to an iMac on one of the Thunderbolt 3 ports. The drive reads and writes CDs and DVDs without any problems over the connection.

Five stars because "it just works" plus Apple's version of this cable is a lot more expensive.
----------

Update (July 2018): No problems to report, still working after upgrading macOS from Sierra to High Sierra.

Update (January 2019): No problems to report.

Update (February 2019): Bought a second adapter to use with wired keyboards. No issues so far.

Update (June 2019): No problems to report on either adapter.

Update (July 2019): Both still working after upgrading to macOS Mojave.

May work, may not. Good luck. Amazon is not fully complying with USB specs

This USB adapter does _not_ mean strict USB Type-C and/or USB 3.1 standards. This is a common problem now since so many devices now share a port and plug design. The catch is that there are several different standards using one form. Not a problem if standards for the format are followed, but _many_ manufacturers are failing to do this.

This adapter will work with some of your devices, but more demanding ones will not. I attempted to attach and external solid state drive using this and it did not work. Testing with other adapters showed that it was the adapter, not the drive or the port on the computer.

Works like it should.

I got his USB "C" to USB 3 adapter because of the 3 inch cable on it, puts less stress on the USB C port on the computer than the short stubby ones with no cable. Does the job, as do most Amazon Basics products. Makes it easy to use my non "C" USB thumb drives and to connect my Google Pixel XL phone to my laptop (the Google Pixels are all USB C).

It Works Really Well!!

My boyfriend just bought a new Mac Book Pro & there are no USB outlets on it. We needed something quick so he could use it on his radio show that weekend. We ended up getting something cheap since we had to pay for next day shipping. This came on time, and was exactly what he needed. We were planning on getting a better quality one but there is no need because this is perfect! We will probably buy another one to have one at the house and have one in his backpack.

Good Buy!

Solid quality. Works. Full USB 3 speeds (many adapters fail to output USB speed). Beware that many USB C ports on Chinese brand devices are not USB 3 speed. Those that are, often the device can not handle USB input speeds so you may mistakenly assume this adapter isn't working. I recommend this adapter.

Allows a USB cable to use the New USB Type C Port (Example External Hard Drive)

Got a new computer with the High Speed USB Type-C port. I wanted to use my Western Digital External HArd Drive with it and this Adapter worked Perfectly! The small end plugs into the USB type C-Port on the computer and the other end lets the two USB connections plug into each other...

Works Great!

Super happy with this for now! I finally got to connect my external drive using this. To me it's much more worth it to get this connector than an entire hub (my first hub broke on me in less than 15 uses).

comes in real handy! I have found that when I try to charge an iPAD or iPhone from a regular USB 3 port coming off of some adapter on my MacBook Pro that there is not enough current, and so the phone or iPAD says "NOT CHARGING"

This is a pain, so I have normally had to use a wall wart and power the lightning cable that way.

NOT ANY MORE! With this adapter I can plug the Apple lightning cable into it, and it delivers the juice directly from the USB C port on my MacBook Pro and charges even the iPAD. This is great! This adapter has multiple purposes for me with my computer, but I especially like the unexpected ability it has to deliver enough current to charge my iPad Pro, because those things hardly ever charge from a computer USB port!! NOW IT CAN.
