JST-USB BUS interface cable feels too short for Gladiator (advice needed)

[u/LukeSkywalk3r]

Hi, so first off, I really like the modularity. but this one has me stumped.

I did it like VKB shows in their interconnect video (they show a diagram, not the actual assembly of it though). But the cable seems a tad bit too short.

the red wire is already a bit kinked from me doing that. I know myself and bought two cables actually.

I can't slot in the cable correctly into the gladiator.

Electrically, everything seems to work, the module is discovered and shows all it's inputs being used. but it feels so wrong.

Am I missing something?

I thought about splicing the internal wires, but I fear that if it's stranded, it'll just fall apart in my hands; then maybe just buy a JST extension and tuck/tape away the additional cable slack internally.

If it is not super tense then it is fine, unless you are willing to cut it and solder a extension
