USB was supposed to rule them all but it’s now a mess of standards sharing the same connector. Different speeds, voltage, charging protocols, alt modes, even the number of pins used is variable… For those asking, the thing is available on Kickstarter

    There are different types of type C??? I still don’t know if a USB micro or mini is the one that charges my PS4 controller or which one transfers data from my 20 year old digital camera.

      Mini for PS3 controllers, micro for PS4 and most android phones that were made prior to about 4 or 5 years ago.
