Looking for Long and Supple Micro-USB Cable for PS4
tylerbgood:
I've got kind of a strange request. I was wondering if anybody knows of a micro-USB cable that is less stiff than typical USB cables. I'd like a cord that behaves more like the ones on old video game controllers. It's a little difficult to convey exactly what I mean, but old controllers had cables that were more malleable and softer than the standard USB cords found today. I'd love to have something like that for my PlayStation 4 since I don't mind playing with the controller plugged in but don't like the stiffness of my current cord. I've looked around online some, but there aren't many retailers that describe the flexibility of their wires.
Any advice is very much appreciated!

I know exactly what you mean. I think what you're looking for is a Nylon Braided cable. They're generally a bit more flexible that your standard cables. Not 100% sure that's exactly what you're looking for, but they're cheap enough so maybe pick one up and give it a test go.

One thing to watch out for that I've experienced with my PS4, is that not all micro USB cables actually charge the controller. They light up as if they are charging, but don't actually take a charge.

They variety with a flat, ribbon-like cable will probably work for you.
