The ones I build don't move at all, even with two-people on it. The rubber feet do a good job at keeping it stationary.

+1 on soldering permanent connections.  For a removable connection you could install a d-sub with locking screws.

If you're soldering a removable connector to make it non-removable, you're using the wrong connector in the first place, IMHO.

Who said anything about soldering a removable connector? I don't think you're following what's going on here.

rCadeGaming:
People are talking about having to permanently fasten USB cables because they pop out unexpectedly.  I was just mentioning that you could use a d-sub with locking screws if the application permitted, so it could be both removable, but still sure never to come apart accidentally.  IF the application requires.

Of course if it really never needs to come apart anyhow, fasten away.  Hence "+1 on soldering permanent connections."

Sorry to have bothered you.
