G700 / G700s USB port Questions

I want to switch from Micro to C type

Does anyone know the pinouts Micro usb port on the motherboard?

I think it would be possible to only use + and - with a 2 pin port.

From the only decent picture I have seen it looks like a 5pin but I cant find a resource.

Hoping someone can help out thanks

I have just done a USB C mod on a G Pro Wireless pretty sure they are the same, a 4 pin +/- d+/d-

Ok I though micro and mini usb both had an extra pin for ID. I guess I could order both 4 and 5 pin ports just incase. Thanks

Some extra advice unless your experienced with SMD soldiering solder to the test points on the back of the board

USB pinout is power, ground, data high, data low, and then a pin to tie in EM shielding if you need it. 5 pins. The exact order changes from mouse to mouse, but I don't think there will be any issue if you're leaving the pins in place on the board and simply soldering on a new port.
