    I would gladly take microusb over those magnetic pogo pins that they put on smartwatches and tablet keyboards, though.

      I have an edc flashlight that I absolutely love, and it has a damned magnetic charger (way better type than the pogo pins) instead of a usb-c. Sure, it keeps it waterproof easier, but it sucks to have to use a proprietary plug that’s useless for anything else and have to worry about losing it or not having it.

      I’d buy the same light again, though. Nothing else as good out there.

        I’d like to know the flashlight in question as a fellow enthusiast, even though the proprietary plug is a deal breaker for me.

          Lol. I guess I should have just mentioned to begin with. Here’s the link

          It’s an Olight Arkfeld Pro. Flat, nice clip, forever warranty (that I’ve used, once) nice bright green laser, and a bright UV light. The laser is just fun, but the UV light comes in handy for a lot of shade tree auto work I do and for curing UV reactive glues I use for phone repairs and windshield chip repairs, so it’s a great perk for myself to have. I got it on sale for like $70 bucks.
