That is now illegal in the European Union. Everything sold is required to have USB-C.
> From 28 December 2024, the rules apply to mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, headphones, headsets, videogame consoles, portable speakers, e-readers, keyboards, mice, portable navigation systems and earbuds sold in the EU. From 28 April 2026, they will also apply to laptops.
You’re not allowed to sell keyboard and mice with USB-A port? Doubt it. Can you link the source you’re quoting?
Edit:
It’s this right?

That’s only for battery powered devices afaik.
Got it. I guess some people still use wired mice and keyboards with legacy connectors. But how many of those use them on a $350 board? Seems like a very small use case. I personally use Bluetooth for that, been doing that for the past 20 years.
