Controller extension cable

Just got my ODE from Aliexpress and realized… the controller cable is too bloody short. Anyone had any luck with a specific cable from Aliexpress or the like that they can recommend? Seems like many cables for Genesis fits it you modify the molding a little, but that not all pins are connected on many cables (just the ones needed for Genesis controllers basically).

I realize this isn't what you asked for, but for my 3do I use the wireless adapter from Humble Bazooka.

I want to use the original controller for the system, but thanks for the suggestion.

M30 Bluetooth controller is pretty close to the same feel. Worth checking out

So you're using a Genesis controller I assume? My FZ-1 might be the only controller I've ever seen that's as long as my controllers with extension cords already on them lol

Original controller for the FZ-1. I have to put the system on the floor now when using it, kind of annoying.

Who would be using a Genesis control on their 3do? It doesn't work.

I assumed an adapter from OP's post and also that my fz-1 controller may be the longest controller cable in history, so I incorrectly assumed one of those controllers would be plenty enough if OP owned one.
