I dropped the device that the USB/Micro USB cable was connected to. He bent the side of the mic, rendering it unusable. I looked up Revain and found that one of these cables can pay a little or a lot. As far as I can tell, big names are no better, for a ton more money. I'm still on the first one I took from a set I bought a few months ago. Works well and maybe I won't drop the controller again and damage another one! ;-)
