USB was supposed to rule them all but it's now a mess of standards sharing the same connector. Different speeds, voltage, charging protocols, alt modes, even the number of pins used is variable.... For those asking, the thing is available on Kickstarter

It's very universal, you can plug it into any port that is USB C, whether it does what you ask it to or not is a whole other story.
