Ordered a set of rechargeable AA batteries and charger. They’re well reviewed and a decent brand. Specifically wanted the charger since it has USB input rather than 120v so I could top the batteries off from my laptop / power bank as they’ll be used for my wireless KB/mouse. The product description only said “USB input” and didn’t specify what flavor. Being 2025, you expect USB-C.

Received them today, and they use micro USB input. Now I have to keep yet another cable in my bag. Day mildly ruined.

    No one is talking of old things that still work. Op just bought something new that still uses micro USB though, that would ruin my day too tbh.

        It’s not a first world problem It’s a capitalism problem. They probably bought a shit load of micro usb ports for dirt cheap to save money cause nobody wants to buy them for their products in 2025.
