So i tried to connect steamdeck to pc using usb and i read its immpossible because steamdeck is a computer and some explanation on quora about strong master slave relationship. But then why is it possible for android phones to connect to pc whilist also having the ability to use USB and other usb c accesories. Also why cant it be a toggle? So that you can change whetewer this usb( or device ) is reciving data ot sending data .

    Universal Serial Bus.

    Serial communication between two hosts requires either robust auto negotiation or a crossover cable.

    Usb doesn’t have good auto negotiation between two hosts so you gotta use a crossover cable.

    heres one

    But… there’s no guarantee that the computers usb controllers and operating systems will support it.
