    there are tons of images of the thing on their store page, including of the pcb, which is entirely custom.

      Just looked it up, and I think my point is correct. You could get about one regular HDMI port in the space they used for the two micro ones.

        they have full control of the size of the pcb. they could have made it a cm wider.

          Lots of design considerations to be made there. When they can easily include a micro-full HDMI cord and adapters and stuff are easy to come by, it’s not a horrible compromise IMO.

            no, it is, because micro-hdmi is a real brittle connector. you need to be careful when moving a pi4 and up because the cables are heavy and stiff and the connectors are tiiiny.
