Muddy nonsense! fits accessory

The micro USB connector is so weak my 11 year old son bent it with his fingers when taking it out of the box. And of course the cable didn't work when he tried to use it. Could this be the only defective cable with an aluminum foil thick connector? Sure, but why even bother? I'm not sure how the cable can stand up to a watch plugged into an Xbox controller when it's so fragile. I would avoid

Pros
  • Don't waste time
Cons
  • Can I add something

I wish I could give it zero stars

The end of the mini USB cable is so absurdly long compared to the original Xbox One cable that it doesn't even come close to fitting into my controller. It's completely ridiculous that the company could ruin a standard-sized USB cable. If you were thinking of buying it to use with a third party controller, just tick that box now as it probably won't fit. Terrible product.

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • Price Piggy Bank

Works great on Xbox One

I am very happy with it. (I'd give it 4 1/2 stars if that was an option.) The only issue I had was very minor: when I started using it on battery for gaming and charging, it incorrectly said that it was fully charged ( white icon) the moment I plugged it in, although the battery was far from fully charged. The correct charge amount icon is now displayed correctly after the battery is fully charged (real). Not a big deal but enough hiccups that I can't give it 5 stars. The connection seemsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Frequency

Finally genuine non junk product

This cable stands out with things like packaging that doesn't feel like it costs 3 cents like other junk I've been through on the site. Sure, the cable isn't braided or anything, but it works. Not to mention that Nyko was a brand with a name that hadn't been pulled from a random name generator in quite some time. Works as it should. If, like me, you need to sift through hundreds and hundreds of Chinese companies by website name, your search is over. I connected it to my PS4 controller and itโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later

The picture says it all! Might catch fire!

I always thought Mad Catz and Nyko were crap. I remember the "intercooler" they did to blow out the Xbox 360's power plug, but I saw what seemed like decent reviews so I decided to give it another try. Plugged in to charge and back again! It was an ELITE controller for over $150! NEVER AGAIN! Revain said I am SOL as my return period has expired and I should contact the manufacturer. I don't care about a replacement cable, I care about LITERALLY PAYING 15 TIMES FOR A NEW CONTROLLER! By the wayโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Well Built
Cons
  • No

Great cable! - Accessories

Nyko Charge Link Cable for Xbox One works great. I bought this to replace the original cable that came with my play and charge set as it has worn out and is no longer working. This cable perfectly matches the controller with an LED charge level indicator that other cables don't have. It includes a Velcro strap on the cable itself for quick storage. I didn't notice any delays in controller input or longer loading times when using this cable. In fact, my controller seems to charge faster withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nicely
Cons
  • Good but not great

Nice big charge/charging indicator(s?)

Our second and third cables from the Microsoft Xbox One Play & Charge Kit wear out due to the extra stress the cylinder puts on the first few inches after the micro USB connection exercises . This Nyko cable doesn't have that, but it's pretty loose in all three of my family's old Microsoft model 1537 wireless controllers (pre-Xbox One S) and even loses connection a couple of times while gaming! (Hopefully the connector on the Nyko Power Pak fits better, but I don't plan to try it anytime soon.)

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Legacy model
