Quality of USB-A ports is poor

I posted this a month or two ago and got no responses, but wondering if others are starting to find their USB-A ports are extremely weak. I plug a keyboard in a few times a week (at most) and got my FW at the end of August. Now tonight if you just ever so slightly tug on the cable, it comes out.

While I am thankful for the inexpensive ports ($9) I have to wonder they went a little too cheap on these. There are a few other minor issues here or there that don’t effect the usability as well but this one is starting to get a little frustrating. I had an X1 Carbon where the USB-A port starting going and was so thankful for this new Framework where I could finally use my USB-A port again…and while technically it works, only if you do not touch it when plugged in.
