Jul 12, 2019 at 2:28 comment added Jtaks Something like this looks like it would be perfect for my use case. How ever I am unsure where I would connect the shield pin from the keyboard. Would I wire it to ground? From the linked item's schematic it looks like it is just left unconnected.
Jul 10, 2019 at 6:48 comment added Ale..chenski @Jtaks, 5.1k comes from specs, it is a pull-down. 56k/22/10k also come from specs, these are the host-side pull-ups.

Jul 10, 2019 at 5:31 comment added Jtaks Ah it's all starting to make sense now. Thank you for your patience. Where does the choice to use 5.1k resistor on each CC pin come from? The spec mentions 56k in the cable but this is slightly different.
Jul 9, 2019 at 20:57 comment added Ale..chenski Yes, the linked answer is related to a question about wiring the Type-C receptacle. On receptacle side you need two pull-down resistors, for each CC pin, although people think that the CC pins can be tied together for USB 2.0-only connector. If making a plug, only one resistor is needed.
Jul 9, 2019 at 14:01 comment added Jtaks I appreciate your concern on durability. It is still unclear to me whether the answer you linked covers wiring the receptacle (not the plug), or whether they are wired the same way regardless.
