USB Type-C is the future, and it's actually easy to add it on USB 2.0 devices: other than the connector itself, you just need two 5.1kohms resistors to pull down the CC lines.

My suggestion is to use this connector, made specifically for USB 2.0 devices as it has a reduced number of pins, making it easier for hand soldering. Here's a KiCad library for it (and other connectors too), it does even have the STEP file for the connector.

(I don't know KiCad well enough to make the changes myself.)
