Maybe I didn't explain that properly.

To judge if it's very loose you can compare the Babyface Pro with any other USB piece of gear fitted with a USB 2.0 Type-B receptacle and that's as heavy or heavier than the Babyface Pro. Gently pull on the cable—the connector shouldn't come out, and you'll probably end up dragging the unit. The USB receptacle on the Babyface Pro looks pretty standard, nothing special about it.
All USB 2.0 Type-B plugs have a couple of bumps on the sides of the metal shield. The corresponding Type-B receptacle has two metal tabs that engage said bumps to prevent the plug from sliding out thereby securing the connection. In mine, said tabs appear to be bent away from the centre of the receptacle as opposed to towards it like on other receptacles I've just checked with a light torch. And there is a distinct—albeit perhaps not audible—click or force bump when the plug is inserted and extracted. Frankly I'm surprised you've never noticed. In fact, all USB connectors, Type-A, Type-B, Type-C, micro, etc feature the force bump.

The problem is not cable length, in fact the supplied cable is perfect for laptop use. The problem is that the USB receptacle on my unit fails to hold the connector in place. The words "super stable lock-style fitting cable" don't sound anything like what I'm experiencing. This is not a subjective assessment, I have other gear that's heavier than the Babyface Pro and I can basically lift the unit by the USB cable no problem, whereas with the Babyface a small amount of pull on the USB cable and it slides right out, hardly any friction.
