I understand they want it to be a drop in replacement for the original Pico but I wish they upgraded the MicroUSB port to a USB-C port.
I guess third party for me again.
MicroUSB is absolutely one of the worst connectors ever designed, perhaps only surpassed by the SCART connector.
I would rank SCART higher than the composite video RCA connector all of us had to settle for in the NTSC world. SCART was awesome in its day, being able to carry component video AND bidirectional equipment control signals. It was HDMI before HDMI.
The functionality was great, it's the physical durability that was complete shit.
