Worst internal connector by far is dual USB3, the cable is so thick and unwieldly, I always feel like the pressure from trying to bend it is going to rip the header off the board
TRUE especially since the pins are tiny. I bent two of them inside the shroud somehow and they snapped, so now I only have one front USB 3.0 port.
Solid ranking, but on audio you're neglecting XLR. Quarter inch jacks are indeed very satisfying, but XLR is so reassuring.
The few that I've used either require too much force to connect, or are just friction-fit only (like those Neutrik combo XLR + 1/4" receptacles you find on audio interfaces), but I'll take your word for it. XLR looks like it should feel solid.
What's wrong with europlug?
Had to go too far for BNC. You don't often question of that's seated properly... just if it's terminated properly
BNC RG59 twist on locking coaxial connector is the superior locking cable form factor.
I dislike the US power plug way more than the Europlug (or compatible sockets like Schuko). It just slides in, only thing holding it in is friction. Also, there is a connection while the contacts are exposed, exposing the user to the risk of shock.
Also, I like DisplayPort more than HDMI, it clicks really nice on insertion and in my opinion pulling it out is also more satisfying.
I have to agree on display ports. Best fit feedback ever.
Really, inserting HDMI is more pleasurable than RCA/composite?
Even after silicone lubing all my molex they still suck ass. Hate those things so much
