Quality 2IN1 USB Charger Charging Cable for Sony PS Vita Data Sync & Charge Lead

So there are some reviews saying this cable doesn’t work. And that had me hesitant to try it. But it’s pretty cheap so I decided to go ahead and buy it anyway.When it came, I plugged it into my laptop to charge, tried plugging it into an iPhone charger and even an iPad charger. Absolutely nothing. No charge.I was very upset and kicking myself for not listening to the poor reviews, but then I googled the issue and it turns out the first gen PS Vitas take a ton to charge. So you need a power supply that’s more than an iPad charger or your laptop USB.I have a PS4 at home as well, so I plugged it in there and it instantly started charging. This is not a problem with the wire, this is a PS Vita issue. If you have your original wire that came with the vita but only the USB part is broken, you can plug it into that. But if you don’t have the original wire (which I lost) your best bet to charge will be a PS4 — laptops and other mobile chargers will not work.If you don’t have access to a PS4, I suggest looking into getting the original wire for the vita, as this USB Cable alone will not be enough. But if you have a P4, buy this and don’t give it another thought. Charges perfectly with the P4 and is a very affordable price

People complain how the cable is SO tight, but why would you want it loose? I dislike loose cables even more than I do tight cables. So I figured might as buy it and... It works! It's quite tight yes, but at least it isn't loose because loose cables can accidentally fall on their own and you won't get any charge what-so-ever. Overall this is actually a very well built cable. Though if you prefer, you can always buy the offical cable licenced by PlayStation at a wallmart or here on amazon. Just don't yank the cable and you'll be fine.

As a disclaimer, I bought my Vita (PCH1001) used which came with a third-party cable so I have no idea what the official cable is like. That being said, this thing is pretty tight in trying to put it in and taking it out (on the Vita end, the USB end fits easily)...thought I was going to break the Vita's slot the first couple of times. But it works, so that's all I can ask.

Bought a vita off of ebay not knowing if it'll work or not just to find out that I need an older model charger. Lucky for me these guys were selling them for not only charging but data transfer as well. People complain about it being a tight fit but it's not as bad as people make it out to be, besides who wants a loose fitting piece that could fall out? Not me that's for sure

First of all, you must know that this is ONLY the PS Vita - USB cable, and not the outlet adapter. Next, it takes a few charges to fit but works like a charm once it shapes to fit your vita. Overall this charger is great and well worth the money I paid to get my handheld back.

I haven't owned this charger very long but while charging my Vita fell 4' on to indoor-outdoor carpet and I guess the weight of the Vita plus the impact completely shattered the plastic casing of the charger and severed the microchip from the cord. So, I have to buy another charger already, which is annoying. Still, the price point on this is better than most, although if the product is that fragile it's probably better to take a chance on a sturdier charger.

Bottom line its better quality than what came with the Vita. A little firm putting it in initially but I have my Vita charging on it now after replacing the frayed cable that came with the Vita. It works and is SOLID quality - period. I buy a LOT of USB based cables and make/purchase my own Ethernet cables. It is exactly how the image shows and is double shielded. For $7 how can you beat this?!

Works great 👍
