@julialuna I know! Yet there are still two devices on my desk that use it because I just couldn't find an affordable alternative that does it right.

Yep I seriously don't know why micro USB was so popular when the vast majority of the time the cables AND ports were sooooo prone to breakage compared to mini USB (or at least the most commonly used mini one, which is the only one in C here--mini-B).

I guess it was all about the power delivery but the connector reliability and durability went waaaay down. Just musing at this point though.
