    Mini-USB sucked, big time. Not so bad as micro, but yea it was bad.

    The main advantage of C over all previous versions is that it’s reversible, you can’t plug it in wrong. The shape is also… “flat”?, so it’s easier to fit into the socket, mini had that wavy like thing going on.

    My data source is my small kid: he’s broken 3 (and counting…) usb-mini connectors by tugging the charging PS4 controllers, and he has to ask me to connect the cable to charge them, he’s unable to do it himself yet. With his tablet, 0 usb-c connectors broken and he can plug it in himself.

      I think you guys are taking about micro USB. PS4 controllers have micro, PS3 controllers had mini USB.

        They were both equally terrible the only improvement micro had over mini was it was slightly smaller.

        I stand corrected, thanks. The mini was bad, the micro in the PS4 controllers is god awful.
