"Nice when it works, not as nice when it doesn't"
Pros
Nice to be able to play while you charge; the cable is very long
Cons
Not working properly; no easy grip to remove from controller; lousy support

I have had 2 of these cables for about 2 months, and they have always worked flawlessly.
About 18 hours ago, I needed to charge 2 controllers/batteries. I plugged them into my laptop USB ports (like always), but after 10 hours the lights on both remained red, meaning the charge had not finished.
As this was longer than usual, I thought there may be a problem with my laptop USB ports, so I plugged the cables directly into the Xbox so they could charge overnight (and yes, I shut down the Xbox through the dashboard so the batteries could charge with the Xbox off). In the morning, the lights were still red.
1 of the batteries is 2 months old and came with the charging cable, and the other is about a year old.
I could find no support for this on the Xbox website.
