> I think incidents like these are a pretty solid argument for incorporating overvoltage protection into 5V USB peripherals. That isn't going to fly for product companies in general. The issue? Cost, as usual. Adding 5 cents of cost to a $15 USD (retail price) mouse is a non-starter, because the actual production cost is closer to $3. So even 5 cents is a lot. |
