The USB standards is a mess that makes my brain melt. There are so many standards about the speed for data and charge time that you need to do a research before buying anything related to USB. For example, I bought headphones with USB recharge port. I am just lucky that my computer has the right USB, otherwise It would be impossible to recharge them. My computer has 4 USB ports, but only 1 is compatible with my headphones. I still don't know if corporations are owned by idiots, or by perverts who like to fuck with customers.

The standard is still universal, The hardware and current exceeds the standard. you plug any device into a usb socket and assuming it doesn't over current the receptacle and the hardware actually fits; it will work. The standard limited the current to 1/2 amp (500 milliamps), designers created devices that can pull up to a couple amps. It's not the fault of the standard or the connector that doesn't fit is the fault of the standard. It's the fault of the developer exceeding the standard to nuance the hardware to do what the standard wasn't capable of. It still beats the hell out of rs232. They don't get a premium price and aren't competitive if they offer what everyone else offers.
