Cool!

Sweet!

... will there be usb 3.1 Keyboards and mices or usb 2.0+3.0 adapters for 3.1 ? (have mine attached on an usb 1.1 port and its enough    ).. 

The new standard will be incorporated into new versions of various devices over time and no doubt third-party adapters will be available for use with 2/3 devices.  However, wireless being so prevalent with keyboards & mice, not to mention printers, I don't feature folks going back to cables for those, even the new standard.  Furthermore, there would be nothing to gain by using a type-c cable between legacy devices that lack the ability to utilize the new features.  USB3 cables will be around for quite a while.

Once the ports & capabilities are incorporated into PC's & peripherals, the type-c cable will be nice since it will be fully reversible (both rotation & direction) & you won't have to think about orientation at all.  Its power capabilities will be where it shines.

I think There will be adapters made, Daiwa to bridge between the new and older stuff...although I'm not sure they'll be worth it.

They've already been spec'd and will certainly be produced.  Like you, I'm not sure of their value until & unless USB3 cables become scarce, since the technical improvements will only impact devices capable of using them.  At least, that's my understanding.  Besides, when's the last time you had a USB cable go bad?  They say it happens, but it has to be rare.

I don't see a problem with the current USB cable design.  I almost always get it facing the correct way the second time I try.  

Yes....like finding things that you have lost.....they're always in the last place you look.

You'd think it'd save a heck of a lot of time if you just looked in the last place first.....

^Tru dat.

Actually it's a good deal more than just the "Which side is up?" - which could, I suppose be especially problematic 'down under'...never mind.

In truth?  The plug was invented just so Tech Support Centers all over the planet could get on with things when Aussies called up (or down) (also cut the suicide rates among tech support workers).

The data transfer rate? Purely incidental. Pay it no mind.

^^

I don't know for certain but unless the two pieces of hardware being connected are capable of those transfer rates, a type-C cable is of no benefit.  I don't think the current USB3 cable is a 'bottleneck'.

Great!

Depends on the amount of data being blown across, I suppose...if we're talking about cloning a drive/s, it could be.

I like the plug itself, though (and remember a discussion about it...just couldn't find it). I hate the ritual of gently trying it in multiple directions...always makes me feel totally klutzy.

Yeah, i face this problem everyday at least once . Do think USBV 3.1 will be great when its used by many devices. Hope that there will be cheap wired devices such as keyboards mices, color laser printers, scanners  etc with USB3.1 in 3-4 years ( please not sooner ..) .

 I hate wireless devices ( tried them a lot some years ago  and they got so fast over used, as quickly as  usb 4-1 adapters/hubs. ( and some wireless devices are using batteries ( not so nice when they get to old ...) )= )= ).
