MPG321URX: USB-C (Mac Mini) to USB Type B?

[Willda8eas156802db]

Just ordered this monitor and the more I read up on it the more fiddly and fussy it seems to be. My problem is: I bought this to use with my M4 Mac Mini (2024) and a future Windows gaming PC that I hope to add sometime this summer ($$$). I want to use the KVM feature to switch between the two and connect my keyboard and mouse (both Razer brand) to the MPG321URX via its hub built into the monitor. However, the M4 Mac Mini is outfitted with only USB-C ports, which won’t cooperate with the USB-A to USB Type B included with the MPG321 that connects the computer to the monitor. Is it OK to use something like Apple’s USB-C (male) to USB-A (female) adapter as a go-between for the Mac and the monitor? I don’t see why it wouldn’t but this monitor seems extra particular about how it plays nice with different combinations of things like connections and whatnot. It genuinely has me kind of nervous and second-guessing my purchase. I’ve also found on Amazon a generic USB-C to USB Type B cable - seems kind of bootleg but is this a potential solution as well?

This is somewhat helpful but my primary concern is that my Mac Mini M4 is only equipped with USB-C ports - there are no USB-A ports to run the USB-A to USB Type B from the Mac Mini computer to the MSI MPG321URX monitor using the cable provided with the monitor. I will need some kind of USB-C to USB-A adapter or an entirely different 3rd party cable to make the connection. Will a USB-C to USB-A adapter cooperate with the MPG321URX when using the included USB-A to Type B cable? Or would a 3rd party Type B to USB-C cable suffice instead?

You can be used USB-A port on monitor when connecting USB-C cable between monitor and Mac Mini M4.
