I am having trouble with Micro USB charging cables and PS4 controllers. After a few months, the cable doesn't seem to charge PS4 controllers anymore, or even sync them with the system.

I am currently using this cord - http://www.cheapassgamer.com/redirect.php?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.monoprice.com%2Fproduct%3Fp_id%3D13924&pid=13638090

It was suggested that the cord might be the problem. Well I recently upgraded to the PS4 Pro, new controllers and everything, and the posters were right, the cord will NOT charge PS4 controllers.... but the cord will charge XB1, Tablets, and Cell Phones.

So I am looking for a more permanent solution, I do have a 3-6ft cord I've had for years which has always worked fine but the length of the cord means I have to hook it up to something nearby to charge (usually laptop)

I've read that this is a very dependable cord, but I am curious if anyone has experience with it before I order it.

Get rid of cable. Get the power a dual charging stand and never look back.
I don't like having to stop and charge mid game, and the cable removes any latency due to a wireless connection (no matter how minimal, there is still a small amount of latency.)

I literally play/played with the cord connected 24/7..

Gotcha. Can't help ya there. Sorry.
 
I own that Anker cable you listed in your OP.  Works great, charges and allows for controller use without a single issue. 

Highly recommended and Anker's stuff is high quality, so you won't have any issues with it over time.
