Question Looking For Wired Gaming Controller With 12+ Foot Cord

[philzee]

I'm having trouble finding wired gaming controller with a 12+ foot cord. Do they even exist? 10 foot is too short. I can't use a detachable wire either because they like to slip out of the controller. This sounds like a tall order.

if you find a wired controller that you like then you can attach a USB extension to the included wired cable.

there are many extension cables that will not "slip out" due to them having a fitted attachment that squeezes the cable heads together.
you could also get a USB hub that has it's own extended cable and just plug the gamepad directly into that.

if you're rough enough with your gamepads that you'd pull it out of such a connection,
then you'll also be pulling any built-in cable out of the PC's own USB ports.

i doubt you'd find a decent gamepad that comes with such a long cable built-in.
why not a good wireless gamepad?

An extension? That's a pretty good suggestion. Thanks.

My current problem is that I hooked up a ps4 controller to my PC. It says I'm connected to blue tooth, but when I fire up Steam, I cannot play anything until I plug the cable into the remote. The cable slips out all too often and I don't want to ruin the port on the controller because I still use it on my ps4.

i've not seen any controllers at all that still have a connected cable. and believe me i looked. def did not see any with a 12 ft cable no matter how it connects.

an extender is pretty much your only chance if you can find one that still has a built in cable.
