Hi r/BuyItForLife! this is my first post here. Well, I'm one of those elders that still using micro-USB phones instead of USB-C, because I can't afford a phone with the second option. So, does anybody knows a brand that sells durable and fast USB cables?

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
It is likely for the same reason that USB A-to-A cables aren't common: host devices should always use different connectors than slave devices. The reason is that serious damage to the USB controller is possible if you plug two ends of a USB A-to-A cable to two USB ports on a host device (like into your computer). It is against the spec for a reason.
A-to-A cables (or cables as you describe) should not exist according to the spec, simply put.
My guess is, that devices with a Micro USB connector do not typically offer USB-Host functionality. So even if you were able to connect two devices with Micro USB ports, there would be no additional benefit/nothing to do with this connection.
But as I said, it is just a guess..

Been looking at these but no idea if they're reputable and safe to use for charging devices. Cable Matters has a product but it's only a cable, does not look like they sell an adapter.
