it was pretty good for a while but i had the same problem with native patch cords where they fail after a short time and its 50/50 which one you if you get a good one, you usually have a pretty solid experience. The weighted handle really works and I have two cords by my bed and it's almost never fallen off my bed so it was really nice. If you get a good ID, say it's good value, I'd like a weighted version of USBC.
