Why is micro USB such shit? Every single micro USB cable I've owned has stopped charging properly or just falls out of the port on my phone. I bought an xbox one controller for my pc, and I can't even use it after barely a month of use, cause the fucking micro USB connector cuts out constantly if it isn't held at just the right angle, making the controller disconnect. Is there a single decent micro USB cable on the market?

Fucking cats attack mine which leads to a short.

Never had this problem, maybe if you didn't use cheap ass cables you wouldn't have this problem

>>51437581
I've bought better than cheap ass Chinese ones, but never a really good one. Maybe I should just invest in a decent one.

I honestly don't think I'm being that rough with them though. I haven't had this issue with any other designs I've had on other devices

Random acts of savage

>>51437705
you're not, I have the exact same problem with most of mine. it charges only if I fiddle with it for ages and even then it'll randomly stop. granted, it's the ones that come with my phones, which are probably utter shit anyway.

Never had a cable fail but plenty of ports fall apart. Supposed to be rated for 10,000 plug-in/out cycles. micro USB is a shit standard. I actually think it's worth buying shit cables so that they fuck up before fucking up the port.

I didn't have one fail on me but I had to fix the rubber casing of some with shrink tubing.

buy an IXCC cable

boss just got a handfull for free and gave us all some, pretty dope, but pricey for length

can be found on amazon for cheap

supports up to like 3.5amps on the cables

they also make some crazy fucking 30w 5x 5w USB charger

they make micro and apple 8pin, dunno about USB-c
>>
>>51437705
You're not the only one with the problem. But you should have known by now that those cables require extra carefulness, ape.

Don't have a problem with micro USB but I have a problem with mini HDMI.

Those are shit.
