Not sure who you're addressing with your comment. But just to be clear, I at least don't expect any problems down the road. The trouble I had was not with any ports, but rather the plug in of the cable supplied with my Forma.
I can use the cable supplied with my H2O, I mean use that cable with my Forma, and I can try to wiggle it all day long, and the connection does not break. There's no wiggle room.
Now I don't know anything about cables, but I decided to take a closer look, and I do see that the plug of the cable supplied with the Forma doesn't look exactly like any of the other USB plugs I have at hand. But I've no idea whether the difference in the Forma makes any difference at all.
Photos attached. You can see that the Forma plug has two gaps, above and below, looking head on. The other plugs only have one gap. No idea what that means, if anything. But again, the Forma plug can wiggle, the others can't.
The H2O cable does not break connection with my Forma, the Forma cable does break connection with my Forma. So it seems.
Edit. now I'm wondering if I broke it somehow. I've only used it a few times, and it still does continue to work as long as I get the angle just right... Is it
supposed to look this way?
