Need for use with anything that is pcie 1x. I know everyone will ask "why do you need this?". I got reasons. I just want to know if this exists. Thanks :)

There are also PCIe 1x to usb adapters, that come with this or similar items. Basically its a usb cable, and a mini pcie (1x) card that has a usb plug on it, I'm sure you could use it the other way round though as its a double male usb cord. Google USB to PCIE and it is very easy to spot. Otherwise they do make mini pcie to usb adapters.

Knowing the reasons might help to provide a viable, or alternate, solution.

What exactly are you trying to do?
Main reason is I got a modified and upgraded (1 of a kind) $1000+ Asus STX II sound card. Asus sound cards are not compatible with Ryzen cpu/mobos and cause it to crash if installed. If i could make it external with usb that would solve the problem.
