Hi Samuel,

Sorry, there isn't any such animal. USB-C connectors have 12 pins connecting them to the motherboard, while USB micros have only 5. You'd have to find a USB-C connector that matches the printed circuit board footprint, and nobody makes such a thing. There's a whole discussion on the subject over at the EEVblog forum.

Type-C in Micro USB footprint (female connectors)

The closest I can come to getting you what you want is a USB-C to USB micro adapter, available from Amazon.

Amazon.com: USB C to Micro USB Adapter, (4-Pack) Type C Female to Micro USB Male Convert Connector Support Charge Data Sync Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S7 S7 Edge, Nexus 5 6 and Micro USB Devices(Grey) : Electronics

Plug one into your controller and leave it there or put one on all the cables you use with your controller.

Yes you can. Make sure the JSD version of your breakout board is the same with what you order.

Very cool, but that's made for a Sony PS4 controller, not a Valve Steam controller that the poster has.
