    USB-A dude. There’s still things that ambush me with a USB-A and I immediately return it. Micro-USB too but nothing as foul as USB-A.

      *cries in music production gear*

      Why in the fuck are they still selling audio interfaces with USB-A in 2024?!?

      Printers too!

        As a home recording absolute noob, I have a box full of proprietary cables and audio interfaces that I pretend doesn’t exist quietly mocking me in the corner.

        Maybe because they’re more resilient? I always worry about the micro USB on my Keystep

      USB-A just feels like a more solid connection. I’ve never had a USB-A connector not work because of a miniscule amount of dust buildup in a port, nor have I accidently unplugged something.
