What Cable does Setsul use?

Hi I've been noticing a drop in my tf2 performance lately (mostly on Valve servers) and I think it might be my various peripherals that I have connected with cheap usb cables. Some guy on reddit said that these can produce faulty signals and slow down your computer. I'm looking to upgrade and I found this list but it's only for micro usb cables. So I was wondering if anyone knows what cable Setsul uses?

Also what are his Settings in Windows 10 "usb" settings?

If you don't know, can you suggest any other good gaming usb cables?

Thanks but I've already saved up money for the new cables and I want to make sure to get the right ones because I don't want to waste money! I might get it from Amazon though

It would be easier to decrease the number of things you have connected through USB than thinking that spending money on quality USB cables will improve anything. Specially for low distance (aka small length) usb cables which you have on most peripherals

the301stspartanHi I've been noticing a drop in my tf2 performance lately (mostly on Valve servers) and I think it might be my various peripherals that I have connected with cheap usb cables.

Or it could be TF2 updates. Or overheating. Both vastly more likely. Since the USB cables didn't change.

the301stspartanSome guy on reddit said that these can produce faulty signals and slow down your computer.

CRC errors are handled in hardware.
Peripherals not in use do no generate signals.
If the signals from your mouse and keyboard can not be transmitted correctly you'd notice.

USB cables aren't made of some kind of magic.

USB2 uses only a single data pair so the common shield is enough.
On USB3 each twisted pair is shielded individually. If it's not your cable is shit.
The is no magic that a 25$ could add. Shielded twisted pair and that's as good as it gets.
Maybe a ferrite bead when the situation calls for it. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/73/Cable_end.JPG

Use the stock cables. If they are shit then your peripherals are probably shit and the cables are the least of your problems.

the301stspartanAlso what are his Settings in Windows 10 "usb" settings?

Why would anyone use the gigantic middle finger that is Windows 10? It was built around the bright idea "If a feature is so universally disliked that everyone disables it then a fix is needed.", which seems sane until you realise that Microsofts fix is removing the option to disable it.
