Why?
Because the DC barrel charger was rugged as FUCK compared to this USB-C port.
Even though I killed my OG Mighty by plugging a 24v adapter into it instead of its 12v adapter since the DC barrel plugs were the same size…
It still took me over 3 years to kill it by plugging the wrong voltage charger in.
The Mighty+ I bought to replace it ~3 months ago won’t charge unless the USB-C cable is in the perfect position anymore.
I was super excited about being able to use a MacBook charger, faster heat times with the +. But now I just have regret for not saving money by buying another OG Mighty instead of upgrading to the Mighty+ when I had to get a replacement.
Good to know. The USC-C port as one of the things that made me consider upgrading to the Mighty+. I guess I’ll hold onto my OG Mighty.
I’ve already looked into some sort of “modding” that would allow me to use USB-C with my Mighty, but I’m too afraid to mess things up and break it. The original charger works just fine, so why bother?
