A survey at 30 stores around Klang Valley was conducted to find information regarding the current USB charging product in market and three selected designs were chosen based on the popularity and suggested by the store personnel. Then the Kansei online survey was done, in which respond from 111 volunteers- 65 males and 46 females- age between 18 to 30 years old [mean = 23.33; SD =1.73] were collected using Google forms survey. The respondents were asked to rate the three-designs based on Kansei words given.

It was found that Design C [mean=3.62; S= 0.2511] are the most preferred design, followed by Design B [mean=3.58; SD= 0.1904] and Design A [mean=3.28; SD= 0.3213].

Moving towards Industry 4.0, the use of Universal Serial Bus (USB) charging cable is a need among the users of
smartphones whether android, iPhone, or others. Currently, many third party manufacturers produce USB charging
cable with their own brand to fulfil the demand. However, the lifetime, design, and function of USB charging cable
somehow may not meet user expectations. In the competitive market, it is important to know what are the user
preferences regarding the existing USB charging cable design in the market especially in Malaysia. The objective of
this study is to investigate affective aspect of USB charging cable perceived by the users and how they can be
relating to product specifications. A survey at 30 stores around Klang Valley was conducted to find information
regarding the current USB charging product in market and three selected designs were chosen based on the
popularity and suggested by the store personnel. Then the Kansei online survey was done, in which respond from 111
volunteers- 65 males and 46 females- age between 18 to 30 years old [mean = 23.33; SD =1.73] were collected using
Google forms survey. The respondents were asked to rate the three-designs based on Kansei words given. The data
was analyzed to find the mean scores for the three selected designs -Design A, Design B, and Design C- in this study.
It was found that Design C [mean=3.62; S= 0.2511] are the most preferred design, followed by Design B [mean=3.58;
SD= 0.1904] and Design A [mean=3.28; SD= 0.3213]. Then, one-way ANOVA model was utilized (SPSS Version 23), and
the finding shows that the difference between the three selected designs were significant [F (23,6) = 4.211, p =
