USB cable

I really like the braided USB cable that comes with the WARBL. It does, however, have one drawback - it's very stiff in torsion. What happens is if there is a twist in the cable and you play an "all fingers off" note, the instrument tries to twist. Biting the mouthpiece (like a sax) helps, but I've found that a plastic coated cable works better.
The braided cable is so sensitive that if I plug the cable into a horizontal USB slot directly in front of me it's ok, If the slot is at right angles (ie. on the left or right of me) that 90deg twist is enough to twist the instrument. The same happens if the slot is vertical. This doesn't happen with my other wind controllers because they are so much heavier than the WARBL.
It's only ever an issue with the "all fingers off".
