I don't have the original shrinkwrap, but it was generic
Frys stuff. I will have to go back and look at the brand,
but, how does *that* help?

Here is a picture of a few of the bad microUSB cables:

This 6 foot long Belken cable no longer has any nubs:

So the Belken (on the right) didn't have any more nub than
the no-name brand on the left (in this picture below):

I'm confused how I'm supposed to buy a good micro USB
cable when even the Belken brand loses its nubs.

I've got one that is used for the Logitech mouse and keyboard
charging and it hasnt lost its nubs. Its been used every week or
so for charging both the mouse and keyboard, every week for
each. Came with one of them from logitech. From memory I
got one with each and have just used the one to charge both.
