    Could someone who owns an official first party NA controller measure the length of the cable for me?

    There have been conflicting measurements on my investigations and I need to know the exact length of the cable. Other dimensions of the controller are appreciated.

    If you have a Super Famicom I would also like the cord length of those if you could.

    I appreciate any responses. This information is hard to find and I want to make it more accessible.

    I've got a Super Famicom and my tape measure says that the cable is exactly 1 metre from the very tip of the plug to the point where it feeds in to the controller. The length of just the cable sans plug is about 45mm shorter. Famicom and Super Famicom cables are way too short!

    I took some other measurements and here is what I came up with:

    That was just eyeballing it with a tape measure and the roundness of it does make it more difficult, so there's probably a margin of error of a mm or two. Hope it helps. I can do the same with the plug if you wish.
