    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.

      Well in this scenario it’s a genie granting a wish, so why not just wish for everything to be changed to USB-C?

      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

      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
