    Xbox One Play and Charge Kit - Flimsy Cable!


    Hi, this is more of a request than a question, and I would like anybody else who feels the same way to chime in.

    The official Microsoft Play and Charge Kit for Xbox One has a cable that is way too flimsy and easily breakable.

    The kit itself is great. I love the battery pack and I love that cable connects via micro usb which is a common connection method. But the cable is so flimsy that I have now been through THREE of them, each one breaking way too easily. Two of them only lasted
    two weeks before they broke. I have not misused them and I sit pretty close to the console meaning there is more than enough slack so I'm not tugging on the wire. The micro usb connection also moves around too easily while it is connected to the controller.
    I have two controllers so it is not a controller issue.

    I prefer to buy official Microsoft accessories because I don't trust the cheaper alternatives (due to bad experiences with third party accessories in the past), so the least you could do is deliver the high quality that we expect. I would like to request that
    you beef up the cable so the wire inside doesn't break so easily.

    Thanks, Craig

    :)

    Flimsy play and charge kit.

    The play and charge kit is not sturdy. I like wired controllers. However the play and charge kit micro usb bends and breaks easily. Microsoft should consider a new type of connector or sturdy charge kit. I have big hands, Furthermore, I am clumsy I need
    sturdy equipment.

    any rechargeable as plug and play in controller?

    so far the only good recharge batteries for the controller on the market are in the MS play&charge kit as these have around 1400maH on them.

    the ones you have on amazon there are only 1200maH they will have a shorter play time.

    and as the poster above said. most usb cables probided in those charge kits can cause problems.

    some manufacturers make those usb cables only to get them to put electricity through but no data connection. what happens is that your controller will still act as a wireless controller even though it is wired and this can be an issue if you are one of the
    ppl who have that random controller disconnection issue that can only be partly avoided if you have the controller act as a wired controller.

    long story short get the ms play and charge kit the usb cables on those are flimsy and will break after heavy use as that WILL happen get a 3 or 5m microusb cable usually the ones sold as ps4 charging cables do the trick as they did for me they charge and
    have a data connection. in the end its your decision.

    Wired Controller Connection Issue

    Xbox Play & Charge Kit work with original Microsoft Xbox One joypad and the cable that you need is a simple USB Micro-A that you find in the Xbox Play & Charge Kit.
