I like to play on PS4 so my controller needs to be charged often too. This cable added a nice little benefit, maybe it's a placebo lol, but I noticed when I had to play with the controller still connected to the charger that my timing was way better than my opponents huh everything meant in PvP. Maybe the bluetooth on the controller makes a difference to a direct connection? I'm not a techie so I have no idea but I will continue to use it not only for charging but also for PvP games! Oh and the length is amazing but what impresses me the most is the thickness and feel of the line. If you're anything like me and have tried cheap store-bought cables, you'll feel the difference when you feel them, and I can say they will last. I put it online with caution, but having loved it I'm planning to buy shorter ones from these guys for my phones etc.
