The official cable works better than longer amazon data cables, don't let people convince you otherwise. The issue with inexpensive cables is signal attenuation caused by capacitance. Basically when you have an oscillating signal (data) next to another cable, the laws of induction apply, and causes the voltage on the other data line to change. Checksumming etc. handle some of that, but the real way to fix that is to use a cable that is properly shielded for the data rate. This issue becomes more prevalent the longer the cable, when a cable loops around itself etc. The Quest is using USB-C to it's maximum potential, so you need a really good cable for it to work reliably. It's worth the $80 if you want it to work reliably.
