It'd be harder to do markings like this on USB-C ports though. They don't have a big visible chunk of plastic in the middle.
- jsgo 8y agoI was being a bit facetious with the initial suggestion, honestly. Mostly poking at color being used as a universal indicator, and then you have a case like Razer where they introduce green to be complementary to their laptop's color scheme. Beyond just switching to brand + version number (ie [USB logo] 4, [thunderbolt logo] 3, etc.), I don't know of a great way to really go about this. Otherwise you end up with the super speed championship edition thing you posted, which isn't going to help anyone really. I think the color one was a great idea on their part in that you didn't have to look too close to see which port you were plugging into, but all it takes is one detractor to deviate from it (say if MSI came out with a gaming laptop with red USB2 ports), and then the whole idea is shot.
