Hello,

I was wondering if Acer Nitro XV272U Z supports data trasfer for usb peripherals like wireless dongles to a wireless mouse?

Or is its intended use just for charging and laptop display input only? I had an issue where the usb-c dongle for my wireless mouse, does not detect it, even when i changed to USB C port in monitor settings. Any suggestions?

    The monitor's USBC port usually must be conected to laptop as shown below to enable using the monitor's USBA ports for USBA mouse or KVM switch. You would need a USBA mouse or a USBA-to-USBC adapter to use a USBC mouse. The video ports usually don't transfer between USB ports.

    Thanks for the response, however it would be nice to be able to use that usb-c port under the monitor also as a data port connected to my desktop pc, so that i can use it the same way the usb-a port, the reason being is that the dongle need close range in order to work properly, even though I have an extension cable for the wirelss mouse dongle.

    You could try a USB-B-to-USB-A printer cable to use the monitor's USB-B input port to see if the monitor's free USB-C port is then full i/o like its two USB-A ports

    I have it connected with the included one, however, usb-c out only gives charging capabilities or display input for laptops

    OK. Thanks for reporting back Looks like both the USB-C & USB-B are still input only as per the diagram.
