Title: Leopold fc 660c usb mini connection issues?
Post by: bern43 on Fri, 16 June 2017, 08:27:20

I've got a Leopold 660c on pre-order.  How common are the issues with the mini-USB connection on the board breaking?

That the connection is just soldered directly on the board without the feet going through isn't very reassuring, especially considering the cost of the board.

I never had any issues with it, but you can buy a replacement controller from hasu (with more features) anyways so I wouldn't be too concerned about it, if it does break you just have to pop it open and swap, takes about 15 minutes, and only because the clips are weird to get open.
