Glossary

Charging port

— microUSB. One of the miniature versions of the USB connector, still popular in gadgets, despite the emergence of the more advanced USB C. It has relatively modest capabilities (in particular, it is inferior to USB C in terms of the maximum possible charging power), but this point is rarely critical. At the same time, there are a great many cables and chargers for microUSB.

— USB C. The latest (as of the end of 2024) type of USB connector. It is symmetrical, which allows you to insert the cable in any direction, eliminating the possibility of incorrect connection. USB-C is more reliable, has an increased service life and supports higher data transfer and charging speeds. In addition, it is compatible with modern devices and is gradually becoming a universal standard, which makes mice with such a connector more convenient and relevant for users.
