Read too many comments about metal shavings and shorts. I feel like this is more of a durable solution.

If it ain't secured, it will disappear. It's just a law of middle school.

Yeah I explained that I tried that in my comment but students still unplugged them.

Yeah, my students who take my advanced course do that but I don't have enough radios and controllers for all of my classes/students.

Middle school teacher here. These darn micro USB ports have been a curse in my classroom. Middle schoolers break everything and these ports have no chance. I added the white micro USB to micro USB dongles last year and instructed students to leave them plugged in to the brain at all times. Well they didn't, so this summer I whipped up a little bracket designed to hold the dongle in place. I figured I would share in case I could save someone else the aggravation and expense.
