This cable is very basic and speaks volumes for the quality of the wire itself. Pros: - Gold plated connectors which are great if you connect and disconnect devices frequently. - The cable looks and feels premium compared to other cables and looks anything but cheap. The wire is very flexible and you don't have to struggle to hold on to a specific way. The place where you hold each plug is long and has a handle so you can put it down easily. Plug into or remove from your device without touching other nearby cables - 8ft as advertised - Simple design - Works! Cons: - No At first I thought it might not work with my somewhat old Corsair K65 Vengeance mechanical keyboard which has a 1ms response input and what about the aftermarket cable that it might not have the same speed. But I was wrong because it works at the same speed as before.
