+1 for a move to USB-C and/or Bluetooth. It's [current_year] and having connectors at all are just a nuisance.

Well... sorry for spamming +1. I just canceled my 3Dconnexion CadMouse Pro Wireless order, when I saw in disbelief that they expect me to carry around a micro usb charger cable in 2022 until end of live (of the mouse ;-) )
I am happy to pay premium for quality, but not for outdated stuff.

Hi, guys. I waited a long time for the adapter, and decided to make it myself from a compact adapter. I printed it on a 3D printer. Will it be interesting to buy a model for a 3D printer for $1? Photo from the link below

On another note from the adapter itself, from the fcc filings:

You can see that the usb-adapter is on it's own daughter board and could easily be swapped out to a usb c daughter board. I am considering designing such a board (with the 5.2k cc resistors), because nothing should use usb micro or mini when usb c is available.

The only issue is that the bottom rubber pad is a pain to get to the screws under.

Curious fact: 3Dconnexion website show an USB C Cadmouse Pro Wireless in promotional images, but it's not clear if you buy it what cable is included...

Looks like they finally came out with one that has usb-c and bluetooth.
Now do the regular spacemouse wireless.
