I'd much rather have a USB-C connecter.
Helix 3.2 when?

It is more robust in the sense that f.ex. USB-C has a higher MTBF for connection cycles, but USB-B is still the better mechanical coupling option of all consumer alternatives.
You don't want to kick any USB connector, but the chances of damaging USB-C in such a scenario are way higher than USB-B. C connectors are also a pain in the ass to repair.
USB-C is great for anything that won't be laying on the floor though.

Fair enough. I think we can split hairs and argue this point either way. Bottom line for me: one will only fail if you use it in ways it's not intended to be used. The other will break on a random Tuesday three weeks after purchase while you're gently unplugging it, even though you're the most neurotically over-cautious product owner on the planet.
I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide which is which.

Laugh it up, but i've been using these on everything lately, particularly stuff like wireless headphones.
Never seen a full blown Type-B magnetic plug cable though

Nice! Now sign me up for a right-angle, low-profile version I can easily tape down to the back of a Helix/ QC/ whatever.

Oh... Didnt EU just made a rule about C must be a standard on everything?
That may put some sticks in the wheels for R&D things if there is a date a manufacturer has to adapt to....
@Digital Igloo You must have heard about this, if its a thing that affects your part of the electronics industry.

No, mobile phones, tablets, keyboard, mice... and a couple of more product. Guitar modelers aren't on the list.

I love the magnetic cables. Do any of yours transmit data? The few different kind I have really don't, if they made a B version it had better transmit data.. Perhaps the reason we don't see them?Laugh it up, but i've been using these on everything lately, particularly stuff like wireless headphones.

All of them, through i mostly use them for charging. But data-capable magnetic cables are readily available. Still, these are usually 4-pin internally, so you don't get full speed on USB-C f.ex.
