Any chance these have been updated since the last time to provide enough power for a Massdrop CRTL?

aklorianThere might be some faulty cables or faulty connectors but if the cable is well made, it shouldn't have any problems powering up the CTRL or ALT. What I'm trying to say is that there is no need to update the cable. Would be good to hear from @mechcables if the issue was resolved.

aklorianThe ALT and CTRL use USB 3.0 cables which provide extra power. These cables are USB 2.0 but they will still work with those keyboards. The only drawback is that the lighting may not reach peak brightness when using longer cables (e.g. 7ft with 7" coil)
EDIT: Jumbo should power it regardless of length since they're 24AWG vs 28AWG on normal size cables.

carlouwsI purchased one of these cables directly from @mechcables and I can confirm that his cable doesn't work on my CTRL keyboard. I bought the cable specifically for my CTRL.
Update: Just want to say Mech Cables are a good buy. I received a cable I had issues with and they were quick to send me a replacement. After further discussions with the folks at Mech Cables I was informed that the trick in getting the cable to working with the CTLR keyboard is in the length you order. A 6 - 7 foot cable is the sweet spot from what I was told. Can anyone confirm?
