Micro USBs are fairly easy to identify. They come with black-colored receptacles and feature a compact 5 pin design. And while many Micro USB charging cables come with a USB connector to allow transfers between desktop and mobile devices, it's important to keep in mind that they aren't compatible with all devices.
Devices like wireless mice, keyboards, speakers, and smart home devices, all either currently do, or could in the future, offer USB-C ports, both for power delivery and data transfer. USB-C is rapidly appearing on storage devices from flash drives to external hard drives, thanks to USB-C's 10 Gbps transfer rate.
USB-C basically describes the plug's shape. If you use an Android phone, for example, the connector shape of the previous standard is USB-B and the flat one on your computer is called USB-A. Apple's Lightning port is completely proprietary and won't work with USB-C, despite their similar shapes.
