I only bought this set for the 1ft cable as I need to use my phone (with USB-C connector) instead of my tablet (with Micro-USB connector) to connect my DJI -Control the drone. No problem. I tested another longer cable with my latest Pixel phone on my PC and it performed very well. I have no idea why these reviews are all over the place with complaints. The braid is a little tight but it's a nice feature, I wanted it to be pliable or "fit to shape" if you will because that's good; mine are not twisted. Ignore any negative reviews as these are good cables and a windows computer will recognize them easily. Maybe the negative reviewers had a bad batch and I had a good one, who knows. They work well and look very crisp, especially if you like blue. A+
