This isn’t new - just more of a PSA: this is, bar-none, my favorite USB-C cable:
I was about to write and ask that they sell these until I realized, oh wait, they already do… I finally got around to pulling mine out of the bag today, and it’s just right. Literally everything I would ever want from a rubberized cable.
It’s got a certain quality that I absolutely love in cables: it behaves like a wet noodle.
That is, it doesn’t hold any shape, it isn’t firm or stiff, doesn’t need straightening - it just easily flexes and falls into whatever shape gravity dictates. A strangely rare quality in cables, but an absolute winner for me. Great for keyboards, absolute perfection for game controllers.
A couple requests for @mgsickler - other colors including the black that came with my Classic, and a braided version that behaves the same way.
I have some old braided USB mini cables that otherwise noodle just like these Classic ones do, and I’ve been looking for a modern equivalent for literal years. If you guys made a cloth-covered version of your current rubberized masterpieces, I don’t think I’d ever use anything else, and would absolutely stock up on them. Hoard them, even. I’d be willing to part with one of my old favorite cables if it would help you guys as a reference and would happily send one to you, ha.
