Long USB cable for S61 MKIii

adambrower

Running an M1 Mac. The supplied cable works, but is too short for my studio setup. NI docs specify codes for compatible cables, but no vendor provides these codes! Every replacement I have used fails: no access to DAW, browser button fails to function, etc. Does anyone have source for a ~12 ft USB cable (data + power) that will work? I'm at my wit's end, about to give up and return the hardware (which would suck, because I looove the keybed and like using KK).

NI's information is not of much use, because (see above) the specs they require are not included in any vendor's product descriptions:

I would include a link to NI's doc on compatible cables here, but apparently I can't post a link (TO NI'S OWN WEBSITE!) because I haven't been "around" long enough.🙁

Why the $&@#%! can't NI recognize that this is a common problem and provide a source for a longer compatible cable?! (No one is going to rearrange an entire studio to accommodate their dinky cable! Not me, at least…)

I've read dozens of posts here without finding a simple answer: like a link to a long compatible cable that has worked for another user.

Fingers crossed…Any insight welcome!
