good cable Short lifespan.

Bought the cable on January 16th. A day or two came, now July 26th, and the cable barely works. I have to move the cables a bit to charge it with my 3DS. I have a new 3DS XL and it's doing the exact same thing leading me to believe the cable is starting to die. It dies like old headphones when you have to wiggle the cable near the base to get sound, just like I have to wiggle the cable to charge this cable. I give it 1 star for its short lifespan, but for the price it worked well and served meโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • Reliability

Should come standard with portable systems.

Gone are the days when devices were charged via the built-in power supply. Today everyone needs a USB! I've never liked the built in power bank charger that comes with manual systems. In fact, I didn't know a USB charger existed until I searched Amazon and found this beautiful gem. The cable isn't as long as the Nintendo charger, but what better way to say it if it works? Now I can charge my system almost anywhere; Computers, laptops, car USB ports without adapters, and yes, even in a groundedโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Frequency

Switch to another manufacturer

Hardly works. This only works when 3ds xl is closed and I know 3ds is not the problem because my other chargers work. Here are the conditions I found: with socket closed 3ds = charge light on and charge rate 0.19a. With outlet 3ds open = no charge indicator, no battery indicator on main screen and still 0.19a charge rate (where the heck do amps go when 3ds doesn't detect flow?) With outlet and not connected to 3ds = speed booster down to 0.00 and found this also true with the visual differenceโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Test for one year
Cons
  • There are problems

Slim (I think it's because there are only two wires inside, but idk.) but still thicker than the original DS charging cable (it definitely only has two wires). It definitely does the trick and powers my DSi XL. Note that if you use 5V, you are technically charging at a higher voltage than Nintendo intended. However, it seems that most DS consoles using this connection can handle it very well. Just make sure you do some research before hooking up his. Also, I would advise against using cheapโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Nothing here

Thin (I think it's because there are only two wires inside but I don't know) but still thicker than the original DS charging cable (it definitely only has two wires ). It definitely does the trick and powers my DSi XL. Keep in mind that if you are using 5V you are technically charging at a higher voltage than Nintendo intended, but it seems that most DS consoles using this connection can handle this very well. Just make sure you do some research before plugging it in. Aside from that,

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • No instructions

This is really best used when the 3DS is previously idle.

There are many reports that these cables are not suitable for Nintendo 3DS. I ordered a pair and then I read these reviews and started getting concerned, especially after I found out that this item was non-refundable for some reason. I can't find anything that clearly says why, but Revain (after ordering) means it's non-refundable. I have found that it works with my 3DS under certain circumstances. In my experience, this only fully charges the 3DS. Once the device is fully charged the chargingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Little things

I love the N3DS USB charger

I love the N3DS USB charger. Got this for my 'new' 3DS as it didn't come with its own charger. And I didn't sell my original 3DS. No problem, plugs into a USB adapter/socket or directly into a PC. Loads fine. In addition, there were no problems with loading while playing. Except when you plug it into a charger (for original 3ds) and try to play with the stand. But it's a bit cumbersome and not sure anyone would want to leave it in their cradle and play. I tried to do this somewhat randomlyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Very expensive
