    Are you sure? A bunch of arcade sticks use a USB A port to plug in an official controller and bypass some chekcs for console support. I assume you actually own this and it came with a male A to male A cable in the box? As in you’re not accidentally plugging in a USB A cable going to your computer in the port meant to plug in either a console controller or a bypass dongle?

    I am, to be clear, asking for a friend and was never super confused about why my brand new leverless controller wasn’t working, myself.

      I have a keyboard like this, yes it came with the cable (same A male plug each end) and yes it’s used as a USB device.
