    Eh, I have audio interfaces and MIDI controllers on 10ft cables cause shorter just don’t reach my PC, works perfectly fine. Longer than that is a gamble but as far as I know 10ft is the upper bound of the USB 3.0 spec, so should be totally fine unless you have especially shitty cables.

      I have long ones too that run my old Oculus Rift sensors. Those can ocassionally be flaky but I think it’s the controller rather than the device. I’m not saying they don’t work, I’m saying they are less reliable and/or more expensive to make reliable. Hence companies not bundling them.
