Curious why mini usb
and why the exclamation points regarding "NOT micro?" Micro is so
common. I have tons of usb-micro cables for all my devices. I don?t
think I've seen a device made in the last several years with a mini. I
have no mini usb cables, not that I can't purchase one, of course!
There are claims that MICRO-USB has better reliability, with many more
insertion cycles than MINI-USB.
But, MICRO has more of a symmetry problem than MINI. In poor light, it is
easier to get MINI right-side-up than MICRO.
THAT is apparently why USB-C was developed. it is symmetrical.
Apple has shown with "LIGHTNING", single button mouse, etc., that it is
always safer to under-estimate the intelligence and abilities of your
users.
