    Meanwhile, my Blue Yeti has a fucked mini USB socket, though in fairness that’s because Blue, in their infinite wisdom, positioned it right next to the mounting insert. It’s remarkably easy to knock the cable against the mount when moving it about.

      Yup, the Yeti and my ages old DSLR are the only remaining mini-usb devices in my home. I thought it was the other way around though. I thought mini was fragile and micro was smaller and stronger. I may have been wrong.

      In any case, did you ever see the microUSB cables that could be inserted either way? I don’t think it was ever standards compliant, but my chosen USB cable supplier at the time did this and it’s was my favorite micro cable for years until it died.

      My current frustration is devices that appear to be usb-c, but will only charge if the other end is usb A. Usually when you are on a trip with only USBC to USBC. :‘’'-(
