Why not just a type A or > something? Easy, big, and robust. This is a peripheral. USB OTG doesn't apply, and USB-A would be "inappropriate". Pretend this is an inkjet printer. What plug would you expect to find on that? I don't _mind_ Mini (I have a number of devices and cables that are mini) and it _is_ more robust than Micro (I have seen plenty of phones and tablets with broken micro plugs). I have a suggestion... put 4 vias on 0.1" spacing next to the micro connector so we could, for example, add a chassis-friendly exit cable of our own purchase/manufacture if we choose, to have a nice fat USB-B on the outside of the case. https://newnex.com/images/UHR1-B-0005Blarge.jpg -ethan
