I thought the USB C/TB 3 ports were tight on my MacBook Pro until I swapped it for a mac mini. I found adapters with a 4" cable between the USB C male and the USB female connectors which allows enough room to plug in multiple adaptors and still get your fingers in to add or remove them at the expense of some additional cable dangling. The brand name is Syntech and I found them on Amazon, but there are other similar products. Caution: USB C may not be as quality sensitive as Thunderbolt 3, but you do get what you pay for.

I agree the hard plastic USB C connectors can be challenging to get work, especially if you have big hands and fat fingers as I do. It would be nice if the manufacturers would either make them with a grippier surface or at least put some serrations or ridges on them to make them easier to get a grip on.


If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
