No need for yet another cable type, as micro-usb is ubiquitous. As much as I wanted the cute Animal Crossing PowerA controller, the functionalities that this one offers at this price was more suitable for me personally. I really love it for decor! Its more of a purplish pink especially the plus n minus buttons. If they can make it more sturdy I know their sales would go up. I decided to run wire through the firewall directly to the battery, as I wanted it to remain on when the car is off. we use this bike rack on 2017 Jeep with 33 Mickey Thompson tires and fits great, easy to install and was very secure. It feels fairly sturdy. My only issue is it came with m6 bolts. amazing Value!
