This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Id love it if more things did tbh. A controller really doesnt need the bandwidth of a proper usb type c cable, and type A would be much more securely attached (physically) to something that moves around IMO.
In what way is type A more secure physically than type B?
I always forget type B even exists tbh. But type A has more friction in my experience
Type B is used for printers most frequently, in my experience, though I do have an old external HDD that uses it, as well as the audio interface for my desktop.
Full size type B is not the only type B that exists. Micro-B also exists, which is a way more popular form of USB B.
You are correct, I always forget about micro lol
