Because it's a much more reliable, solid connector that doesn't break at easily?

1. The connector on the cables break, seems to happen on a lot of different cable types.
2. The connector comes off the PCB, not that hard with some types of connectors, as not all are through hole. The physical connector is actually really fragile and can easily be damaged.
3. The connector is inserted up-side-down, which is possible with micro USB, the "blade" inside the micro USB connector is damaged (no, I haven't done this).
4. Cheaper cables simply seem to stop working over time, might happen in the future on USB-C as well.

I'm sure there are more ways.

Those awful micro USB cable connectors make Apple look like geniuses for not using them...

USB C is for those dumbass's who don't know how to careful and just continue to mistreat everything they own. I've never broken or forced a micro usb connector nor have I ever had a cable go poo on me

What a bargain, only $250 for a keyboard. /s

Seriously though, what makes it worth $250?

View attachment 129337
30h battery life? That has to be a new remarkably low record for a keyboard. Why does a keyboard need to have a light weight battery pack? Or the extra $2 for a larger battery pack was too much of a BOM increase for a $250 keyboard?

Sames goes for the use of micro USB, why isn't this USB-C? It's 2019, not 2009...

Also, why do all the keyboards with a volume roller have it on the right hand side instead of the left? I think the majority of people have the mouse in their right hand, which makes it hard to easily adjust the volume...
