The one part of an arcade controller that seems to not last as long is the USB cable.  The damage generally comes from the cable being wrapped numerous times, internally damaging the wire strands

This is probably the most common issue we've received from arcade stick owners of why their controller no longer works.  So instead of buying a new arcade stick (which is not all that uncommon when the cable goes bad), you can save yourself a bit of coin here with a simple replacement
