Title: Good item but make sure to get a good charger.
Review: It works how it should and the range on it is very nice, something to note however is that you do need a fairly good charger and outlet to it be able to charge more than it uses power with out a good charger it will use more power than what you are getting so your headset will slowly lose it’s charge.

Title: Do NOT buy. Doesn’t do what it is intended to do.
Review: This cable was worse than using WiFi connection to the meta app. I get massive stutter and frame drops when using this cable. In theory, it would work but it just doesn’t perform at all. Nothing is playable; can’t even navigate the menus. All I had to do was unplug and update settings to use WiFi connection and reconnect without the cable and everything was perfectly fine again. Was hoping this would give much longer playtimes and prevent any network latency from causing issues, but this cable doesn’t do the job at all. Build quality is nice, length is good, and the cable attachment is much easier than I anticipated, but the cable doesn’t do what it is supposed to do. I don’t recommend this cable at all.

Title: Incredible PCVR cable and plug-in for the Quests
Review: For those of us who enjoy PCVR this affordable cable allows you play incredible games in VR. With 16 ft of cable there is plenty of space for you to play while the cable is attached to your computer. I have experienced no latency. And the added benefit of this cable is the addition of a plug-in so u can maintain power to your hungry Quest3/3S. There is no reason to spend a fortune while this affordable cable and plug-in can do a great job and maintain power to the Quests. I highly recommend this cable for other PCVR enthusiasts

Title: *The* Standard For Quest 3 Link Cables. EDIT: *With some issues*
Review: Do you hate running out of charge? Do you despise spending insane money on Meta’s official link cable? Find that any other link cable you use seems to never output near enough power to actually keep you charged, so 3 hours in you run out, despite the fact you’re tethered, so you still need a power bank to continue on your VR adventures, which also means needing to switch back to wireless which causes bit rate artifacting and is annoying? Well, then look no further and take this cable for a whirl!EDIT: Okay, had this cable for a few months, still works good for what I use it for. It still keeps my headset charged, it’s still a very well built cable, but it still has the issue of…cable. Over time it’s twisted up, and now has a very odd issue where it creates these small lines across the lower part of my screen. It’s a tad annoying, I get used to it, but like any cable…expect to replace eventually because these things get twisted easy. The good thing is though, Kiwi is THE 3rd party for Quest 3’s and I bet you they are good with a warranty. If I remember right it has over a year of warranty, so…hey take advantage of that. If I could rate this a 4.5/5 I would. It’s still the standard for Quest 3 link cables in my opinion, but maybe now I won’t be rating any link cable a 5 until this issue is not an issue.The way this cable works is you have both the USB-A (in the fastest port for data transfer you have on your PC) and the USB-C connected to a wall outlet (the power brick NEEDS to be 45 Watts or higher, I recommend a 65 Watt brick), plug the USB-C in first, plug it into the headset so it negotiates a higher charge speed from the brick’s wattage *very important, otherwise you WILL run out of power*, then plug the USB-A end into your PC, and then you’re golden. At that point, you should never run out of power when VR gaming, and maintain your wired connection. For $20 on sale, and $36 (which is a bit steep not gonna lie), this cable performs phenomenally. Kiwi puts out great accessories on the 3rd party end, comparable to Meta’s. 16 FT is fantastic for VR gaming, really nice to have the extra length, though 10FT is functional. Charge Speed is good, as I illuded to, but the goal is to stay fully charged and just never run out, which it does. I feel the cord feels heavier, and I like that it’s a rubber outer not mesh, so I would claim durability is better but the enemy of these cables is being twisted up. Be careful not to twist too much, but also, Kiwi does offer a warranty. If you want to do good PC linked gaming, do yourself a favor and get this cable or one designed like it.

Title: It was good….
Review: It worked great for the first month I used it. After the 2nd month it refuses to charge or slow charges and will not connect to PC anymore. When it did connect the 2nd month, I had nothing but frame drops. I have been chasing issues and come to find out its the damn cable.

Review: Does exactly what it says, at a fraction of the price compared to the official Meta branded model. Well built, works every time, allows you to charge, play while charging, and connect to the PC to use with Steam VR for example. Perfect.

Review: Parfait, fonctionne parfaitement bien comme décrit avec un Pico 4 : la charge ne descend jamais en dessous de 100%Attention toutefois à utiliser un vrai chargeur suffisant : les chargeurs “quick charge” soit disant performant ne sortent pas suffisamment de puissance. Il suffit d’utiliser le chargeur et le câble fournis avec le casque, et la charge fonctionne parfaitement.Côté débit, c’est largement suffisant pour H264 en 1 000mb/s (je n’ai pas de benchmark, mais ça fonctionne en 1 000 sans le moindre problème.Le câble est assez souple et plutôt fin (comparé à des câbles certifiés USB3.2 gen2 qui sont plus épais et plus rigides). Gros point positif : il est blanc, pas 100% identique au blanc du pico 4 mais très proche, et donc moins disgracieux que les câbles d’autres marques qui sont noirs. Autre avantage : il n’a pas de LED et ne dérange pas la nuit lorsque le casque reste branché

Review: Po prostu działa. Używam z Questem 3 na Linuksie z WiWRn w trybie przewodowym i nie mam żadnych problemów, wcale nie przerywa połączenia. Kabel jest lekki i jego waga nie przeszkadza w używaniu. Podoba mi się że ma gniazdo na usb-c, bo porty usb-c w moim komputerze nie dostarczają dość mocy dla Questa 3.
