Biblically accurate USB tester just dropped: This neat tool has 12 different connectors 'to test almost any cable'

A picture of a USB tester with 12 different connector types. .

If you're anything like me, there's a good chance you have boxes of USB cables, not entirely sure which are USB Type-A, which are USB Type-C, and which even work. I know, I'm a mess, but this isn't about me. Well, if you need to test a bunch of USBs and don't want individual tools, a big PCB with 12 different connector types slapped onto it has been spotted, and it was even available for sale.

As reported by Hackaday, the colourfully named 'USB and more tester' can be bought via Tindie for $60, though it has been sold out for two days now. According to the listing, it is "equipped with 12 different connectors that allow you to test almost any cable."
