There are several factors that may be at play here.
On the power brick it says it's specs are 5v 3a (15W), and has a second 20v 5a (100W) mode as well. I'm guessing that the 5v 3a mode is for when it's plugged into a computer, since it doesn't need to power the other components. So if you just want it plugged into a usb c on your computer, you'll need to make sure both the cable you're using and the port you're plugging it into support this power output. Or use the brick along with a usb c cable.
The second thing you will have to look out for is using a usb c - usb c cable that supports 10 gbps and charging at the same time. 10gbps is usb 3.1 gen 2, which is the current standard. You will need this speed in order to drive the 4k/1440p screen.
So it's really just make sure that the cable you're using is up to spec, and make sure the input on your computer is gen2 usb 3.1 that can provide the power as well as data.
This is one of the only cables I've found that would support both:

and this card is one of the only ones that come with the power requirements:

I figured out by researching it that it's the middle port on my msp 16 that allows video. Initially I tried to connect to my 15" MacBook Pro with the apples usbc cable and that gave no video. So I ordered this cable and used the middle port and it works perfectly:

That cable is only $20 so it doesn't seem very expensive.
I like the Microsoft foldable keyboard, I used it with my companion 2 and it works great.
I did! All of those actually.
Right after I got the MSP I took it with me to a (very) local Apple Store and tried with their normal USB-C cables they had on the floor and it let me use it like an Intuos but would stutter. A Thunderbolt 3 cable works without a hitch, but you’ll still probably want to power the MSP as well.
And actually I went through my Amazon history, this is the cable I bought that works for me:

Thank you for the reply!
Thankfully my laptop supports display Alt mode. I couldn't really find a cable that mentioned that it supported DP Alt mode so I ordered this cable

Hoping it will work.
I actually bought a cable that's recommended off of this sub :( its this one: https://www.amazon.com/Naztech-Compatible-MacBook-ChromeBoook-Spectre/dp/B01M011AMZ/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1541594279&sr=8-4&keywords=naztech+usb+c
If I do get a thunderbolt cable, that would mean my desktop's USBC port needs to be thunderbolt as well, right? If it isnt, any alternatives? Or will the thunderbolt cable just work.
The issue that confuses me is that using the same USBC to USBC cable, I get a reaction out of my old laptop, but not on my desktop.
