The OP: https://www.datapro.net/news/usb-type-d-connector-unveiled.html

Following the overwhelmingly positive response to 180° reversible connectors like USB Type C and Apple's Lightning, USB Type D's novel plus-shaped design can correctly be inserted in 4 different orientations, a mere 90 degrees apart.

"With our reversible Type C connector, we allowed users to blindly plug in their devices with minimal frustration. But we wanted to take it a step further. Now with USB Type D, no matter how crazy your night has been, we guarantee that you'll be able to successfully plug in your phone before passing out."

Remember when funny people still did April fools? I've not seen a good April fools hoax that doesn't transparently reek of marketing in years

Get 360° freedom.
Alas only on a single axis.

I still always need to attempt plugging in these motherfuckers a few times. Never had one break or otherwise become unusable though. Strong as an aux.

I just stick my index finger right next to it, use the finger to feel the socket and then move the plug forward.
The taper in the front does the rest.

Doesn't work as well with USB C because:

  1. The curved bevel is not good enough for the job
  2. On the PC, the USB C is recessed and the I shield has a big enough hole that the plug can get stuck on the side of the socket instead of correctly inside.

Honestly, USB A feels easier to use in that case.

Google Japan always put out great ones, but admittedly I can't remember how old the last one I remember is, and it could have very well been a decade ago ;_;

My favorite was when they turned Google Maps into a playable Dragon Quest map

Not necessarily April fools jokes, but the Gboard team has been designing and making silly keyboards (and publishing the schematics)

The most recent is a rotary dial keyboard
