That looks like it'll break within 10k cycles. |

They're significantly weaker + more fragile than a regular USB connector. It is also non-standard and would fail the USB-IF certification if you wanted to use the logos. |

According to USB.org USB B connectors must last at minimum 1500(!) cycles the extended lifetime rated connectors must last at minimum 5000 cycles.
