you can buy bulk usb cable off like lcom or something. It can be fairly inexpensive to make cables. There are many guides online about making cables. Mimic also has ready to go cables for $10.

I looked around and didn't find any good options for off-the-shelf mini braided USB cables and just went with Pexxon. MINI is just hard to find retail options for that aren't generic rubber. I also wanted a custom length 7 foot cable. The only problem is that I had to shave off a bit of the plastic mini-USB adapter to fit in my KUL ES-87. Otherwise I am very pleased and now I can enjoy my boards without a noisy, stiff rubber cable bothering me. I thought about DIY, but that seemed like a pain and I would save valuable time just buying one.
