      Any port would be damaged by constantly moving something while connected…… it’s why you hardwire them if you don’t want them being damaged.

        And yet, the wired mouse I’ve been using for 4+ years with a removable micro usb cable; is perfectly fine. No damage to the port which still holds the cable perfectly.

        (I’d post the mouse model but it’s not in font of me rn to check)

          Someone doesn’t know what failure rates are….

          If you haven’t experienced it, no one else possibly could….

          Fucking lol.

            Here we go:

            ROG P501 Gladius Mouse.

            Micro usb, recessed ~3/8" into the device with keyways and a sliding lock moulded into the cable+socket to prevent the cable being accidentally removed or any force being applied to the actual usb within

            It also leaves enough space to use most micro usb cables if you manage to lose/break the two high-quality sleeved cables it comes with.(7 of the 8 I have on hand fit).

            Unless you’re using it as a mace, you’ll be pretty hard pressed to wear this out with regular use. You’ll wear out the buttons/switches first.

            Apple can do far better than what they offer. They just don’t bother.
