    I still always need to attempt plugging in these motherfuckers a few times. Never had one break or otherwise become unusable though. Strong as an aux.

      I just stick my index finger right next to it, use the finger to feel the socket and then move the plug forward.
      The taper in the front does the rest.

      Doesn’t work as well with USB C because:

      1. The curved bevel is not good enough for the job
      2. On the PC, the USB C is recessed and the I shield has a big enough hole that the plug can get stuck on the side of the socket instead of correctly inside.

      Honestly, USB A feels easier to use in that case.
