They fit into USB 2.0 ports, where the hell have you got usb 1.0 ports? USB 2.0 took over in 2000 and USB 3.0 has been around since 2008.

USB C is the one that is a different shape.

"USB 3.0 and USB 1.0 Type-A plugs and receptacles are designed to interoperate" - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#USB_1.x
