The Future of PC Motherboards?

[Pred]

Half of my cables end with USB-A so a motherboard like this ain't happening for me.

[Discuiet]

One of the best things about USB (-A) was that all my old devices worked with it, even when they released new versions. USB-C being a completely different form factor is just a pain in the ass.

I wonder if someone will come to make connecting motherboards to cases better

[braethorn]

I asked them and yes, adapters are included. It will also include a hub that should provide a few type a ports.

[EvaSadana-ddvs]

Honestly find myself lacking USB c ports at this point because most of my cables are c-c just because it consolidated the types of cables I needed.

[IFredDi]

Currently I'd love to see 50/50 of type-A and C ports!!
Also I love toslink for Audiosetups and they need to bring back Double Digit Errorcode Modules on the MB itself

4 of each is the way forward on the back. 2 of each on the front, no questions asked

[osu_fishy]

When some of the most expensive gear still use USB A, then there's no point of this tbh. Yes things get phased out, but I don't see it happening in the next 10 years or even longer

[thecomiccrafter]

Most motherboards still have ps2 ports for a reason

Usb A is still going to be used for the next decade or 2

[THE_Game_Mental]

Issue is when you have things like sim setups or other peripherals that arent usb-c. I think they should other maybe two different versions; one with a traditional IO setup containing usb-a and one with usb-c.

Go into a computer store right now and tell me how many keyboards have a USB-C cable. This is ridiculous.

[KingLuis]

Tbh, people won’t move to usb c because everyone offers usb a still. Drop usb an and everyone will get a small hub for random usb a devices and then upgrade their cables to usb c and no the future.

[hashdowns]

the amount of type a to type c adapters i'd need would bankrupt me

[denisuya]

At least provide 2 USB A for keyboard and mouse, just like USB A era where manufacturers still provided PS/2 back then

[cdefencer]

All those USB Cs and not a single USB A? Maybe there's some commercial need for a board like this that I'm not aware of. I can't imagine many consumers would consider this optimal though.

[Archer]

Most items these days are still usb A lol unless you wanna use an adapter for everything and those usually dont last too long

[moneygetta]

I think usb type c sucks. There’s no standard for what the cables can do and no easy way to tell whether it’s a data cable, power cable, or both. Also the tongue on the Ports seems more prone to damage. Having a universal cable standard is a great idea but not like this

[Styrofoam-ee]

My keyboard, mouse, headphones, phone charger all USB-A so, no. Not until my current setup breaks and products actually mainstream USB-C

[abyeet]

I only have two peripherals that use type c. My keyboard and phone charger. While everything else is type A

[FireCestina]

Can output 8K 60Hz
Can deliver over 240W
Can deliver over 40GB/s
Can be put in any direction (up/down or straight the other port)

I mean yeah. USB-C should be really more present. But having at least 2 USB 3.2 gen2 USB-A could be cool.
