No, but then none of the micro USB plugs on my cords have black symbols on white or vice versa. They are all single color with the symbol embossed on the top side. The specific micro plug I am talking about additionally has a bounding box embossed on the bottom side that is identical to the bounding box on the top side which encloses the USB symbol, though the box on the underside is empty. It looks just like this:
The plug is too small to “feel” the difference between the 2 sides, or even see it from a normal distance – unless maybe you’re a teenager with perfect vision (I wish). I also have a regular USB plug that came with Satechi speaiers with the same problem, only worse. It also has an embossed bounding box on the bottom of the plug,
plus additional embossing inside that box. Both sides look and feel identical.
BTW, in case anyone is looking for a cheap but good dual USB charger, the actual micro USB cord I am talking about came with
this generic 3rd party charger on eBay. I’m very happy with it as everything I’ve thrown at it charges fine – Nook tablets, phone, ipod, hot spot, portable speakers. It does get hot while charging the larger tablet, but once it’s on trickle charge, it cools down completely.
