USB2-A ... what? Why? It's <checks watch> almost 2026. Apple hasn't shipped USB-A since 2017. But ok, apparently there's a bunch of PC folks still rocking USB-A. Cool, love that for them. But why not make them all USB3-A?


yes agree on the 3, but many gamers sporting old (e.g. xbox 360 controller) or cheap hardware (e.g. "gaming" keyboard on amazon). Pretty sure USB-C is expensive because of licensing. checking my PC i have more A ports utilized than C


The answer to why not all USB3 A is probably PCIe lanes. AM4 and AM5 are absolutely starved for PCIe lanes.

It could also just be a cost issue.
