A USB-C Mod for RTL-SDR Blog V3/V4 Dongles

Over on GitHub, umbertoragone has uploaded some schematics for a USB-C modification he’s made for RTL-SDR Blog V3 and V4 dongles. The modification removes the stock USB-A plug on the dongle, and instead replaces it with a USB-C connector mounted on an adapter PCB.

The repo contains all the gerbers, BOM, and assembly details required to replicate the modification. He notes that he is also selling a pre-made USB-C adapter board over on his Tindie or Lectronz store for US$4 (currently out of stock).

Let us know in the comments if you would be interested in seeing an official USB-C version of the Blog V3 and V4 line of dongles. Previous polling has indicated that USB-A is still the preferred choice by a wide margin, but attitudes may have changed over the years.
