Review of Nyko Extend Link for Kinect - Xbox 360

Customer Ratings:

I was very skeptical before buying this wire. However, my kinect with my projector is working excellently without any lag. This is the only 15 feet wire available in the market. No more problem for using my kinect with my projector. This has the Kinect customized USB port and NOT the standard flat USB connector. If you have bought Kinect bundle (Xbox and Kinect) then this is what you will need.

I've always wanted to buy a kinect for my xbox360, but the length of the cable it came with seemed to short for my entertainment setup.So One night while searching for a solution to my problem i found this on Amazon.I was a bit hesitant on purchasing this cord because it wasn't made by Microsoft.I went on Gamestop website and looked at another kinect extension cord at about the same cord was coming out on the 18th, when i went into the local store, i asked for a kinect cable and the employee working there walked over with a 2ft extension cable with the price tag of $50.00..I was surprised.So i asked the employee if he had anything that was at least 10-15 ft long, he gave me a very confused face and sputtered out..."why do you need a 15 ft cable for the kinect?" At first i felt it was really none of his business to ask me what the purpose of the cable is. Anyways i told him that i was running it through a Hi-Def projector. I left and ordered this from amazon immediately. This cable works great, there is no lag,everything is nice and fluid. And the LED on the extension lights up when power is going to the kinect which is perfect, i just disconnect the cord half way so i don't have to pull it out of the kinect or my 360, i can leave it in thus..not causing any damage to the ports.

If you have a Kinect and a very interesting entertainment setup..such as a projector..defiantly pull the trigger on this cable..or buy a really long HDMI cable.

All in all great purchase.

Thanks Amazon!

Best Deals for Nyko Extend Link for Kinect - Xbox 360

I purchased this to connect the Kinect to the Xbox 360 "slim" I purchased for my kids in December 2011. It didn't work Jill posted a similar review below. The Xbox does not recognize the Kinect and will not update it correctly using this cord. To be clear This is not the correct cord if you need an extension for the newest Xbox and the Nyko customer support never returned my email requesting help.

The correct cord for the black Xbox 360 is the HDE Extension Cable for Xbox 360 Kinect (search Amazon) available March 3 2012 for about $4 and eligible for prime shipping. The $4 HDE cord worked great with NO trouble.

Honest reviews on Nyko Extend Link for Kinect - Xbox 360

I was skeptical after reading other reviews about the voice recognition not working. That is a feature I like and use a lot. I had to purchase this cable because any other cable would have been too short for my setup.

After getting everything moved and plugged in I went through the Kinect Tuner menu to get the Kinect setup. The voice recognition and visual recognition both work perfectly. The Kinect is performing the same as when it was plugged directly into the XBox. I have the Kinect XBox Bundle.

This cable is used to allow Kinect play from our projector. There is no lag while playing and the kids love the games on a 200" screen. Absolutely incredible. The cord is flat and is easily hidden along the wall. Great price and well made.
