All I know is no matter how careful I was, it would end up not connecting unless it was held at exactly the right angle. I've yet to have a single USB-C connector have the issue

I’ve had it with shoddy c ports on various devices, including a phone (thankfully had wireless charging also). The connection pin thingy breaks off pretty easily, and causes the same issue you described for several weeks/months ahead of the actual breakoff, where it has to be in exactly the right position (and wiggling it to hit the right position obviously exacerbates the problem).

I’ve actually bought some magnetic chargers for the more fragile electronics, so I never have to put strain on the port..

We must be buying different USB-C cables, then. I've been using anker ones for years and havent had a single break like that, and I'm definitely not gentle with mine.

Oh, yeah no it’s not the cable, it’s the receiving port on the device itself. Sorry for the confusion :)

I've got a USB C that requires me to have it plugged in one specific direction or no charging

It absolutely is...what's worse is the cable has been rock solid for years
