I think that the original posted link for the StartTechs right angle USB cable is the wrong orientation for the PSR800 and it actually shoud be;

USB to Left Angle Mini USB Cable - 3ft | StarTech.com

However, so that one can choose for themselves here is the StarTech link for the page where all of their `mini USB adapters' can be found.

Mini USB Cables & Adapters | StarTech.com

*I* have had very good performance / `luck?' with all of the StarTech products over the years I've been using them starting with the 8`port' KVM switch I bought back in the the days of running my FIDOnet BBS all the way up to now with my UniDupeDock that I use to make duplicate IDE/SATA Harddrives now days along with many assorted cables and other `goodies' inbetween. Granted that $8 may be somewhat `steep' for some I think one will find that they are pretty danged close to `bulletproof' compared to a lot of the others out there. (I'll probably first pick up one of each orientation because if one doesn't work for my PSR800s I have some other things that it will work with. {WAN GRIN!}]

Nice catch, the left-angle one is the one I have as pictured. Link

I have had very good luck with: angledcables.com

You can get just about any setup you would want (Up Angle, Down Angle, Right Angle, Left Angle), in several lengths (4", 12", 24", 72"). I've found the "Mini-B Extenders" to work very well. Any widely available straight Mini-USB plugs right into the female end of the extender with a positive "click" that keeps the two cable together unless significant force is used.

You can find them on ebay a lot cheaper. But, the Star Tech cables are very good quality.

I use one that angles back and I tuck it behind the belt clip.
