No, you do not need a magnifying glass to tell the difference between mini-USB and micro USB even my blind ass can see the difference 🤣 Astra.Xtreme, +Dick Montage, tsupersonic and 2 others 5 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mini USB connector is almost twice as thick as the Micro USB connector. adrynalyne, hellowalkman and tsupersonic 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is a small Ovalish type shape the other one is practically rectangular. I have never EVER confused the two when looking for a cable. +Dick Montage and Nogib 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one of them that you may also find around missing in that picture, the micro B for 3.0. I'll post a picture below from Wikipedia which also illustrates the backward compatibility between USB 2.0 type micro B cables and USB 3.0 type micro B receptacles. It also applies for regular type Bs by the way, you could use a USB 2.0 type B cable with a USB 3.0 type B device (but at USB 2.0 speeds); that's why the type Bs look odd at first glance: hellowalkman 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
