This should be max $25, its a piece of plastic with a Micro-USB to USB-C converter. Sony should realize they would make a lot more business from making simple gadgets like these more price competitive.

Micro USB B is used here to slow down USB C.

My question is... The dock attaches to current input via micro-USB...? That seems to defeat the whole purpose of the USB-C port.... :/
