This is leaning on a 4 star review. The cable works perfect. Good quality and solid connections. But! When it’s plugged into my quest it gets weirdly twisted. And I don’t mean like normal cord twist like my vive cord. It does this weird kink twist thing on the rubber outer sleeve and stays forever kinked and kinda twisted. It still works perfect but if you’re slaying zombies or running around like a mad man in vr it doesn’t take long for it to coil up in a weird way.I have virtual desktop so it’s not really an issue. Plus it’s way cheaper than the licensed cable, but if the expensive cable doesn’t twist and kink I’d be divided on which to buy.

Received this cable yesterday and it works great with my original Quest. I had a DIY solution that involved a 12ft USB extension cable + a 3 ft A to C cable, but this Insignia cable is longer and lighter.

The cable is too heavy and tends to weigh itself down. The cord does as advertised but it is cheaply made and breaks easily. Please do not buy this cable it is not worth the asking price.

Does its job perfectly! I love how long it is so I can play from wherever I'd like in the room, and its flexibility is GREAT. A lot of cords are kind of stiff and can kind of get twisted in a way that resists bending/movement. This one doesn't seem to!

one for my quest 2 and one for my quest 3 after I sold the Q2 and its accessories as a bundle to a buddy when i first got the Q3. Cable is plenty long to reach the PC or the wall outlet from anywhere in my room so i can stay clear of object and not break anything while playing. It has enough data flow to run games while plugged into the PC just fine and it also keeps up with the charging rate of the block that comes with the headset. Plus the one end have the port come out the side is amazing for being plugged into the headset and going back behind your shoulder so your arms dont ever snag it and rip it out of the port! i even use a little cable tie to tie the cable that goes back behind me to the side of the headstrap so the weight of the cable doesnt pull on the port and its been an amazing set up! highly recommend!

Works great it’s long enough i can plug in and play/move around without worrying about not having enough slack in the charge cable, since the battery life in the metaquest is less than optimal for extended play, this charge cable is a life saver!

Cable to charge meta quest 3

It is good for the purpose it serves to be able to connect the meta quest 3 to desktop. However, it does not power the headset well due to only being able to plug into the desk top c port from the meta quest 3. However, if you are in a pinch this will definitely get you connected to your desktop. Iniu cable is better if you want longer time with your meta quest 3. You are able to plug into the desktop while being able to plug into the adapter at the same time allowing you to connect your meta quest 3 to the desktop while having it charge ultra fast speed. You can stay connected all day this way.

This cable does exactly what it should. It links my vr headset to my pc. even tho the quest 2 and 3 have air link, which is nice. being hard wired really lets the quest shine and let the pc do the heavy lifting maximizing visuals and all that.

This cable is amazing the problem with the vr is it died to fast and if you get a extra battery it’s super heavy and uncomfortable when playing games with this cord due to its size you can just plug it in and play while it’s charging with no problems

Works extremely well. I was a little disappointed that you can't plug it into the strap with the battery. Even though it's cheaper than the Oculus brand cable, it still seems overpriced. It is pretty high quality though. I got this to play my Steam VR games I already had purchased.

Works great for charging and for link/PCVR sessions. Just make sure your mobo or IO ports support the speeds and its being read correctly. Use usbdeview and/or usbTreeView for the usb type its being read as as well as to see the power output.
