I finally got around to buying some USB C flash drives.
I really like the fact that you can insert them either way - you don't have to fish around, trying to find out what way it needs to be to insert it.
However, I think they made a mistake in making it so small. Or, I guess, in not making the metal thicker on the connection.
When I have the flash drive plugged in, the metal pushes up and down far too much for my taste. I feel that it is not as sturdy
as the older style. I feel that the connector should have been about 1/2 the old size, instead of about 1/4, for strength and stability.
I would be worried if I had gamepad connectors hooked up, and my kids were playing them, and pulling various directions on the connector.
I can see these things possibly getting snapped off while hooked into a laptop, if something heavy drops against one, or a person's elbow shoves hard against it.
What are your thoughts?
