What, did you travel somewhere with just the console? That's the same as forgetting any other charger.

You can just drop the system in its dock when you're home to charge it.

I like USB C because I can have just one charger that works with my laptop, my phone, and my Switch.

I have a big drawer filled with USB cables. There's so many kinds now and somehow or another I ended up with a couple of each.

microUSB 2.0, microUSB 3.0, power-only microUSB, miniUSB, USB-B 2.0, USB-B 3.0, USB C-to-C 2.0, USB C-to-C 3.1, USB A-to-C 2.0, USB A-to-C 3.1, microUSB OTG, USB-C OTG, USB-A exension cable, and a few different lengths of some of those

at least I probably won't run out

yeah, with all the usb protocols we've cycled through they've become an absolute nuisance to keep track of

game consoles use mini or micro usb

phones use micro usb or now usb c

you have to be worried about whether it's 2.0 or 3.0 or quickcharge capable (quickcharge is great for your phone, but it'll destroy your ps4 controller and many other devices )

otg for every standard

so in addition to your two dozen various usb cables of which only maybe six are ever useful at any given time, you also have to get a dozen different adapters to maximize compatibility across standards

>lagdroid losers having the audacity to make fun of apple for its adapter situation

It Just Worksâ,,¢

The things I use each USB connector for are:
microUSB 2.0: DualShock 4, Xbone controller, old phones I keep around for tinkering reasons, USB battery packs, raspberry pi, chromecast
microUSB 3.0: External hard drive
miniUSB: PS3 and Wii U controllers, some USB hubs, portable DVD drive
USB-B full size: printers (2.0), hard drive sata dock (3.0), some USB hubs
USB-C: Switch+controllers, my phone (Nexus 5X), my laptop (XPS 13)

In my opinion, every phone, controller, portable hard drive, USB hub, printer, etc should ditch the old connectors and move to USB-C so it's less of a mess moving forward. Transitioning is fine, but relying exclusively on outdated connectors (even miniUSB) for new stuff just serves to prolong the mess. At least USB-A can coexist fine (even if Apple doesn't want it to) since most of its devices have multiple ports anyway.

I'll be keeping my old game consoles and controllers around forever, but at least eventually in the future I hopefully won't ever have to use older cable types for anything else. Only miniUSB is now completely last-gen for controllers.

Also OnePlus should ditch their "Dash" charger (no interoperability with anything), Apple should fix their bad non-Pro MacBook charger, Nintendo should fix Switch's many weird charger/USB/dock issues, and Qualcomm phones should move to normal USB PD chargers

you have to be worried about whether it's 2.0 or 3.0 or quickcharge capable (quickcharge is great for your phone, but it'll destroy your ps4 controller and many other devices )

QC can destroy a DS4? I didn't know about that. I've never owned any QuickCharge chargers or devices and would prefer to keep it that way.

iPhones moved from the 30-pin to Lightning while Android (and the rest of the non-Apple world) is moving from microUSB to USB-C, so it's more-or-less the same situation except at least all the worthwhile Android phones still have headphone jacks for now. Apple is almost definitely about to move iPhone chargers from USB-A to USB-C which means the old lightning cables will be useless on the new chargers

i've made a discovery

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:BlDSJS73yEAJ:lifehacker.com/cables-can-significantly-impact-the-charging-speed-of-y-1532784722+&cd=13&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

That explains so much.

it's no wonder every single replacement cable in my house seems to charge devices at half the speed of oem cables

I just bought this nice metallic pink braided cable from aliexpress, only to discover that after a full night of charging my phone was only at around 75%.

why in god's name do there need to be so many usb standards, some of which seem completely useless

why isn't every single usb cable being manufactured today of the 28/24 gauge variety

what could possibly be the advantage of the 28/28 gauge standard

it should not be this difficult to buy a single fully functional cable, the usb situation is simply inexcusably confusing

agreed on all counts

yep, there are reports of ds4 controllers being ruined by quickcharge all over the internet

but why would you prefer to avoid quickcharge lol

yeah but apple's cool though
