Remotes

Very, Very disappointed to find that Roku decided to use the last generation USA connector on their latest remote. Why not use the USB-C connector?

Absolutely right! I cannot believe they are using a micro-usb, last generation plug on their rechargeable remotes, instead of the lastest c-usb. I have tons of A to C cords, but had to purchase an old micro-usb in order to recharge my remote that was almost dead and unusable. Is Roku that far in the past???

Really? They don't do it because they would make less money per unit. Because the tooing that produces the USB-C is newer and more expensive. Not only the tooling, but production runs wont be as dialed in running a new componant further raising the cost of each unit. It's ALWAYS MONEY. That's why.

Nope just wringing every last penny out of the current tooling...
