Which is the most satisfying IO connector system, in your opinion?
Do you like a tactile click? Are you a sucker for screws? Or something you can put in any direction? Maybe it's yours or another country's power plugs?
This is sounding more sexual than I intended I think
Apple MagSafe. The magnets snap into place with 0 effort. You can do it quiet or make it click. There is no worry about putting stress on the port, as it can just pop off and back on.
The only big downside would be for things that require constant power, there is too big of a chance for it to disconnect. And if you’re talking about data IO, there would need to be a ton of protections in place to avoid corruption if the connection is lost during writes.
I agree! And it’s reversible, and it’s specially satisfying by holding it from the cable and just approaching it to the macbook and feel (it happens too fast to see it) how it moves and snaps into place no matter what. It’s the only one ever I always have had a 100% success rate ever.
But when it comes to my keyboard I like a bump with a solid bottom out, not a click.
Currently though I’ve got some damn fine clunky toggle switches for some electronic projects that are super overkill for the project but they clack so good.
I use a hose a lot and I kept breaking those shitty plastic fittings. I bought some high-end solid brass ones made by CK Tools and oh my goodness they’re satisfyingly clunky
It’s probably whatever my phone charger uses (USB C probably), but that’s mostly because I’m associating the little buzz my phone does when it starts charging with the connection. So yeah, purely fetishistic.
