What kind of sicko would ever want to go back to micro USB??? 🤢
Most of my flashlights and rechargeable decives are micro USB still. C is superior but I’m not throwing away good electronics over a charging cable.
The question wasn’t who still uses them, the question was who wants to go back.
In some senses i would go back. Then i could just keep using 1 wire. Things were great when everything had the same cable for me. Now ive got a mix of micro and C.
I do a lot backpacking and every gram really counts when you carry it all day.
I was just thinking that the only device that’s still micro USB is my Kindle, but remembered that I also have a PS4 controller

Works fine
I’m really grateful that most cheap shit physical stores in my area uses USB C these days. Even most stuff on Amazon and in $2 shops is mostly USB C from what I’ve seen.
The only 2 devices I have that still use micro USB is a small desk vacuum, and my raspberry pi zero W. But I only have a single micro USB cable so I just have an adaptor for my vacuum

I liked microusb. I don’t know what everyone is doing with their connectors, but I never had any contact issues.
All I know is no matter how careful I was, it would end up not connecting unless it was held at exactly the right angle. I’ve yet to have a single USB-C connector have the issue
I’ve had it with shoddy c ports on various devices, including a phone (thankfully had wireless charging also). The connection pin thingy breaks off pretty easily, and causes the same issue you described for several weeks/months ahead of the actual breakoff, where it has to be in exactly the right position (and wiggling it to hit the right position obviously exacerbates the problem).
I’ve actually bought some magnetic chargers for the more fragile electronics, so I never have to put strain on the port…
We must be buying different USB-C cables, then. I’ve been using anker ones for years and havent had a single break like that, and I’m definitely not gentle with mine.
I’ve got a USB C that requires me to have it plugged in one specific direction or no charging
Every phone I’ve ever replaced was replaced because the micro USB broke. Now with how fast charging is I don’t even use my phone while it’s charging, but I still don’t expect the USB-C to be the part that gives out first.
I think the real solution is repairable gadgets. A microusb port costs pennies and if the phones were repairable at all, it would be a 5 minute solder job. The same is true for USB C as well. It might be more durable, but it can still break and it feels so stupid to replace a decive because a single cheap part broke.
USB B is still the best
I’m so conflicted. It’s way too chunky, but I’ve never had one fail and it’s durable as shit. Damn.
There’s a USB 3 B. I just encountered it, and that bitch somehow got chunkier.
The micro USB most of us know already is a USB-B. Each cable before USB-C had USB-A on one side and USB-B on the other. The square-like one used for printers is a full-sized USB-B, as opposed to the one used in phones (micro USB-B).
Yes, that’s what I meant by “the micro USB most of us know”. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the A variant of micro USB.
