You say that, but USB-A ports are close to 25 years old, and still plenty adequate for a lot of things, from headsets to audio interfaces to keyboard and mice.

- sidewndr46 5y agoI actually feel USB-B is a very robust plug. But it is just so large that most devices nowadays don't have the real estate for it. The other advantage is that since it is so large, if you get dust and stuff in it you can often use something non-conductive to clean it out.
