I see people complain about Micro-USB in various places, and am not quite sure what the problem is. You're connecting to some relatively small, low-power device, not powering a beefy laptop. Is it problematic to have too many cables in the drawer that fit?

- kube-system 4y agoIt's an older standard, and if nothing else, the reversibility of type-c is worth the 10 cents. And because one of the ports is USB OTG, one of the intended uses is for a micro B connector as the host connector. Which is a misuse of the originally intended function of that connector anyway.
- tlavoie 4y agoThanks, just seems like much ado about nothing, other than that last part. I know I've got a wealth of devices that have the various formats, mostly micro. Their functionality still seems fine, so the anguish that pops up from time to time seems a bit much.
