Hi all. One thing that has bothered me about my UHK (it’s literally the only negative, I love this board so much) is that the usb trench to plug in the power cable is such a tight slot that you can’t even get your fingers around the cable end to unplug it, resorting in pulling on the wire which is not great for the usb cable or the usb input hole.
I learnt of these great magnetic usb charing cables that works a treat for the UHK, allowing effortless plugging in and plugging out of the cable as the cable separates effortlessly from the usb c male end which stays attached to the board.
Well perhaps you all knew this already, and I’m just a tech dinosaur, but I’d thought I’d share for anyone who has the same frustration I had.
The magnetic cable is a good idea. I’ve seen a few people suggest them, but I always have too many random metal objects (screws, etc.) scattered around my desk to use one of those . Here’s another user showing their use of a magnetic adapter and some angled cables to help with strain relief:
I use aviator cables. It makes it easy to disconnect/reconnect without fumbling around trying to find the UHK’s port. These particular cables have a few different USB types and they don’t have a bulky coil:

Hey these aviator cables are really cool! Thanx for suggesting them, they’re a good solution too and I’ll keep them in mind incase my magnetic cables don’t end up working; but so far so good!
Those aviator cables look great! Will look into them.
I tried multiple magnetic cables before, but it always resulted in troubles.
Please be aware that some sources claim that magnetic cables are dangerous to devices as they don’t guarantee power/ground to be connected before data lines.
