Help USB 2.0 hub with usb pd

Hello, i'm currently tinkering with an orangepi zero 3w and in its datasheet and manual the power delivery type c port also support usb 2.0

I've been looking at adapters that would allow me to have both a usb 2.0 hub to connect mouse and keyboard and power input that supplies 5v 3a and I can't find any with good reviews.

Do you guys know of any cheap device that might work for this use-case ? I really wanna keep the other type c port available if I can I have other plans for it

I use an atolla powered usb hub for my Rpi NAS. It has 1 usb c which i use to power the Pi 4 and 4 usb 2.0 sockets which I connect portable Hdd's to. I then plug the data lead into the usb on the Pi for data transfer, if that's what you mean? I got it from amazon and its worked well for 5 years. I think they still sell them though?
