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

tsman:
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.

SiliconWizard:
Ever heard of USB-C?

You'll be surprised that 10k cycles would actually exceed the USB requirements for USB B cables. According to USB.org USB B connectors must last at minimum 1500(!) cycles the extended lifetime rated connectors must last at minimum 5000 cycles.
