I just wanted to throw the AU/NZ plug into the mix since nobody is really talking about it. I don't have enough knowledge about this kind of thing to really have a take on it, but I'm interested to get an international perspective.
ANZ/NS3112
Ghostface!
I don't know why I never made that association before, but now I can't unsee it.
It gets better with the switches as they look like a high ghost
For some strange reason that's used in Argentina also. Not sure why here the ground is the same length than the others, though.
I just mentioned NZ/AUS plus, probably as you were typing ;)
Hah. Yeah, I definitely prefer the size over UK plugs. It feels wrong to me to have a 230v wall voltage without a blanket requirement for earthing, but as I said, I don't know enough about it. I'm quite open to being wrong about that.
having gotten zapped by 120VAC and 230VAC I totally agree. the former sucks and is no fun while the latter made me question my life choices
Pros:
Cons:
It's better than the US one, but it's just worse compared to the European ones. It's hard to get them aligned in the dark/behind furniture, but at least it won't fall out by itself.
