If you will use it alot, be sure to buy extra type C cables, dont last long.

Dunno where you get that. I've never had a type C cable fail since using them for 6+ years. As long as you don't go full stupid with plugging them in they can last a long time.

It might be the angle, or just quality of cables. I spent a few bucks more on mine and they've been fine.

These for right angle and these for straight on daily use. Daily as in every night for my phone, and my wife's phone, and any device that uses type C. Even the ones I gave out to people the only one that doesn't work is because the dude dropped his phone while plugged in and ripped the connector out.

I also have a C to C with a watt usage thing built in that was a daily driver for years, just don't know where it is.

The two links, I bought all those two years ago and still in use all over.

Not much experience with C cables here, but the bundled one with my old Google Pixel started to wear out pretty fast.
