        I’ve had them break, but nowhere near as often as people online claim. Maybe I’ve just been lucky.

        I’ve also has USB C break down on me already, so…

        This is one of those cases where the name brand cable probably is better than an off brand.

        Tangential story, but a cheapo headphone cable once broke the headphone jack on my computer. It was too big and stretched out the connector in there.

        That’s probably because they were higher quality, micro USBs really sucked if you buyed cheaper stuff unlike with USB-A and USB-C
