Maybe it's just me, but I've had zero major issues with USB-C and can't imagine going back. I spent maybe $100 on new cables so I have one or two of everything.

Maybe it's just me, but I've had zero major issues with USB-C and can't imagine going back. I spent maybe $100 on new cables so I have one or two of everything. I only wish they had USB-C hubs so I could drop the USB Type-A connectors all together.
I honestly find it much easier. The simplicity of just not having to flip he connector around 3 times every time you plug something in alone is worth it.
It can be a little tricky to figure out what voltages/options are supported, but this has already gotten much better. This is really just an issue with manufactures not labeling things. On the cable end I feel like this is actually already mostly solved. Cable Matters gives pretty good specs for every cable. It's really device manufactures that kind of leave you in the dark. I'd venture a guess that if the USB consortium actually created an easy to use label with some good information architecutre that this problem would fix itself.
- dawnerd 8y agoThere are some hubs out there but they're more designed for thunderbolt 3.

- franciscop 8y agoI wouldn't mind at all if it means I only have to carry ONE cable for all my devices or risk not using them/paying for a new cable. I got 4 devices, and 4 cables: - Smartphone: USB-C - Laptop: 12v barrel charger - Kindle: micro USB - GoPro 3: mini USB My next laptop will be USB-C charging for sure, so at least the 2 items I use the most can share a charger. Now I don't mind so much, but when I was travelling/nomad it'd have made my life way easier.
- jjrh 8y agoFor micro and mini there are some adaptor thingies. I bought a few to deal with the couple of older devices I have with mini. One probably exists for USB-C so you only need one cable.
