I'm so conflicted. It's way too chunky, but I've never had one fail and it's durable as shit. Damn.

There's a USB 3 B. I just encountered it, and that bitch somehow got chunkier.

But the devices are compatible with old micro usb cables at USB 2.0 speed and power.

TIL my external hard drives use micro 3b. I didn’t realize that was a standard.. figured it was a proprietary to prevent using the wrong cable..

You can use an old micro usb cable in the small hole and it will likely work, only at USB 2.0 speed.

Samsung phones used this for a couple years, I think around the S5 days?

[–] TheEntity 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, the Galaxy S5 was the only Samsung flagship using the micro USB 3.0 port. They backpedaled to micro USB 2.0 in S6 and S7, and then migrated to USB-C in S8. I'm not sure about the Note series.

I doesn't break cause it's too chonky to be broken.

The micro USB most of us know already is a USB-B. Each cable before USB-C had USB-A on one side and USB-B on the other. The square-like one used for printers is a full-sized USB-B, as opposed to the one used in phones (micro USB-B).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure there's also a micro USB-A that just never got adopted.

[–] TheEntity 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yes, that's what I meant by "the micro USB most of us know". I don't think I've ever seen the A variant of micro USB.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

I have! It's apparently pretty common on e-bikes.

[–] Rebels_Droppin 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Isn't that the PS3 controller cable? It's such a funky lil micro variant I'm so scared to lose my cable lol

Unlikely, the A plugs are for the host devices while the B plugs are for peripherals. It got blurred with smartphones (see: USB-OTG) but in general the host devices were big enough to have full-sized USB ports, so the smaller USB-Bs are extremely rare.
