RE: XBOX Controller Extension Cables

["Sullivan, Glenn" <gsullivan@xxxxxxx>]

I wonder if someone has tried to use a USB repeater?

If they are USB cables, are they USB signals as well?  I have successfully
gone to about 50 feet with three of these:

And if those work with an XBox controller, what about:

Granted I've only done mouse/webcam traffic, not xbox controller traffic...

They are USB cables and subject to similar length restrictions.

You may be able to use a psu somewhere to give them more juice, but I don't
know if anyone has done that yet.
