Silly question, but what are some USB-C cables that don't suck shit? (hexbear.net)

I have a number at home that I've bought over the years that I've consistently had issues with. For a long time, I thought "meh this is probably just how USB-C is." Something I bought recently, can't remember what, came with its own USB-C cable, and....holy shit, it solves ALL my issues. The stuff I was using before didn't really properly go in all the way to the connector port.

So yeah, toss me a link to some cables that don't suck.

I get pretty much all of my cables from Monoprice, including USB-C

I've used Aukey and Anker cables, both have worked very well and available on Amazon, probably with prime if you're into that.

The ones that are metal wrapped are very good

I've had pretty good luck with the cable matters brand.
