I did, at first. But then I dropped the controller and it landed on the front, which bent the connector on the cable (the controller was fine). So, I had to replace all 15 feet of cable. After that, I bought an extension so that if that happened again, I could just replace the last couple of feet (and due to various electronics coming with a short MicroUSB cable, I already had several replacements on hand).

I guess neither way is absolutely right. Just depends whether the user is prone to breaking things.

I dunno what to say. It's happened to me 0 times. The only time my cable has ever disconnected is when I've accidentally yanked it out. YMMV, I guess.

This is exactly why I don't use batteries. Spend 15 bucks on a USB extension cable at monoprice.com, plug in one of the million microUSB cables that we all have lying around nowadays, and never worry about it again. Bonus: slightly quicker control response.

Skip the extension cables. Just buy this three-pack of 10-foot Mini-USb cables for $10.

We ordered these ages ago and still have a brand new spare in storage. They're ridiculously durable (not even a rogue guinea pig could chew through the wiring), and we haven't had any issue with them getting loose.

Use the cable that comes with the Xbox (reply)

It has some mean hooks that are very good at attaching to the controller. My phone's cable, for example, always drops less than an hour in, but the original cable literally only unplugs on purpose or when I drop the controller.

I haven't played competitive mode yet, but I think I do pretty decent.

I hear Schooly D is pro at that game (reply)

Schooly D is pro at a game besides that anime garbage game that he likes.

Yep... until the cable wiggles enough over time to make the connection loose... and then deal with occasional dropouts when your controller has zero power. It ALWAYS happens at a critical moment, and you die, or your team loses a point, or whatever, because of that power outage.

(Has happened 100% of the time to me - maybe 6 controllers over a few years. Has happened to many people I've played with, usually to my detriment (short-term, but still).)

How did I not know this? How is it that with all my gamer prowess and knowing stuff ...ness... that I've missed this little feature.

Well shit. TIL. Thank you stabbim.
