        USB micro 3 was the weirdest. One of my Samsunk Note phones used it.

        Neat thing a lot of people didn’t know about it though was that you could still plug an older Micro B in and leave the rest unplugged, so it was backwards compatible for things like charging and slow data transfer.

        I also have a widescreen conferencing monitor at work with a USB3-B connector for its built-in camera. It also has Type C, but I guess they wanted to give options for people with computers that didn’t have Thunderbolt ports or were using older docking stations.
