Dammit, my Idobao ID75 keyboard's USB-C socket is starting to flake. I may have to push forward my plan to get the BFO-9000 split board sooner rather than later.
The BFO-9000 has more keys — 108, 6×9 on each side. I'll probably stick with the split, but I REALLY don't like any generation of USB small socket.
I have never understood why they don't just use a pattern like the Apple plugs that use embedded old-school-style circuit slot board connectors. Many things, like YubiKeys, have this single-socket pattern — they fit in regular large-type sockets, and these things last decades.
USB-C? Good luck if it still works reliably after two years. Thanks, European fucking Union.
