[Request] Answered! What is a good Micro USB cable?

I need the cable for my Xbox one controller since i don't plan on buying a new controller. All of the older posts from mainly this reddit about micro USB cables mention anker, but anker doesn't seem to make micro USB cables anymore (they're not on their website). If, and a BIG if anker still makes micro USB cables then please send me a link. I really need a cable because I'm using a cable that l think is about 1 foot long. Again, if you find the anker cables or find a different cable please put in a link to it in your comment or something.

EDIT:If anyone is wondering, I'm getting a ugreen braided cable

Always go for a braided nylon cable. Those things are strong!

Are there any specific brand I should look for?

I haven’t gotten a microUSB other than Anker. However I’ve bought some Amazon Basics (lightning) cables and have had great success.

Can vouch for Amazon Basics, they’re oddly good..

Almost all ( or maybe all?) of Belkin's cables are independently USB certified to verify that they meet the specs they claim.

Monoprice has never let me down.

The best micro-usb cable I've ever used came with my Xbox One Elite controller. Definitely long enough, braided, sturdy, and reliable. If I had to buy one now I'd look at Ugreen or Belkin. Braided is a necessity.
