I just bought a new PC, based on Lenovo Legion gaming desktop. It comes with 2 USB port in the front, 4 regular USB port in the back + 1 USB-C port. That’s a total of 7 USB slots.

It’s been like 2 decades that every possible hardware device comes with an USB interface. Keyboard, mouse, joystick, hard-drive, memory stick, headset, webcam, spot/photo camera, and many others.

Of course it’s my fault, I should have thought about USB connectors when shopping for a new PC and check before buying. but seriously, 7 USB slots is so few compared to all the device I have using USB

    That way instead of having cables for data and power you can have cables for just power and pay more for the device.

    I don’t understand the appeal of Bluetooth mice and keyboards while at a desk.

      Some people like them for the aesthetics. In my case, I have a custom made desk with a tray for the keyboard and mice so the cables are not even visible. Longevity wise they’re obviously inferior and have an expiration date basically. The performance is also worse unless you’re using a wireless dongle instead of bluetooth.

        I just see three cables on my desk for keyboard, mouse, and headphones and I prefer it like that.

        Aesthetics are illogical and often times social conformity rather than personal desire. Like those stupid coiled USB C cables for keyboards that do nothing.
