Hi all!

I did a little interest check here about a week ago for some custom cables and i got quite some positive responses (and very useful feedback on some of the prototypes i sent out) so ill start producing a couple of those for you guys.

My original plan was to offer simple low-ish quality cables that just looked nice but most people i talked with preferred the ability to use their cables for something a little more than just keyboards (think DACs and USB harddrives and stuff like that) so im starting off with some better quality than originally intended. I will - for now - honor my original price of 25 euro's per cable including shipping in the Europe*

For those interested; I can also offer modding services (think replacing non-removeable cables on keyboard, LED replacement service and small repairs) and if there's interest i can also build other custom stuff like keyboard carrying bags....


Now i have a lot of technical data about these cables for those who like that kind of thing but the most important points on the cables from this first run are;

-USB male Type A to low profile angled USB male Mini-B
-Built to preferred colour and length

-Soft outer jacket
-Shielded everything

Questions? SHOOT! Ill add most info in this post for easy reference.

I'm opening 5 production slots, first come first served (as per timestamp here in this topic).

Procedure; Just post clearly that you want a cable, this will put you on the list. Let me know;
a) What connectors you like (default is male Type A to low profile male Mini-B)
b) What length cable youd like (default is 70cm)
c) What color/print you want (no default)
d) If you need the cable set up as a host or a slave cable (default is slave)

From the moment i confirm your order you will be able to pay but this is ofc not required. When the cable is done (and checked) i will let you know, from that moment on id prefer to receive payment (bank transfer preferred, paypal possible) asap, if after 7 days i still have not heard back the cable will go up for auction either here on DT or elsewhere.

How much extra for shipping to the US?

^Will there eventually (if not already) be availability for US folks?

I want one cable.

a) Default connectors as shown on your first picture.
b) Default (70cm)
c) Regular 'soft' jacket light blue
d) I guess default as shown in the picture.

Basically I want one pretty similar as the one in the picture to match my super blue Poker.

Do you have stronger jacket in blue?

But I like your cables much better. I'm not a big fan of all the exposed shrink tubing he uses...guess I'll just have to wait and see what I can find later.

I have put you on the list!

As of right now im only offering the soft cable jackets because i can source these locally, the stronger stuff i have to order from China and is unfortunately only available in bulk, so for me this is too expensive at this time.

Do you want the exact color as in the OP (color is pretty decent on my monitor) or would you like me to check for a different one? A proper pic from your board could help!

Switzerland, Norway and so many other countries joined the EU during this night???

Could be important if it really is 'EU' or should be 'Europe'...
Think about custom controls / fees etc.!

Europe... EU... EEC... erm.... is there any difference

But yeah, you're correct. I meant Europe (or at least what our postal service thinks that list is). The country list should be correct but Ill adjust the OP accordingly

It was just meant to clearify, that people from countries that are not member of the EU but are within europe (and on this list) should remember, that they could have to pay custom fees etc...
But for single cables that should be absolutely no problem! =)

Correct, as this time i do not ship outside 'extended europe' as per the list in the op.

[Account and posts deleted on request]

I'm think. We can cover shipping cost. PLEASE!!

Shipping is indeed one part of the equation, when something goes wrong with one of my cables i want to make sure customers can ship it back to me cheaply so i can fix any problems, thats why shipping counts triple for me.

Bad experiences with non-traceable post outside Europe comes in at a very close second, i hate it when stuff gets lost or takes ages to arrive. I leaned the hard way that not even insurance or tracking will guarantee anything.

For now ill stick to Europe but when i change my mind on this ill post back here.

poor me & Aussie dude.

use a disclaimer, if shipping is unreasonable expensive use a proxy
e.g. shipping from germany as priority mail is 3,45 without extras

mbc

can you do a proxy? (I'm kidding)

These are nice. Will you consider USB A to B (regular)?

Minskleip wrote:These are nice. Will you consider USB A to B (regular)?

You mean good ol 'printer' cables (male type A to male type B)? Should not be a problem, i just need to stock up on B plugs.

In fact.... i have quite a collection already of those because most keyboards i build or modify use those;

Regular good ol 6gv2 before....


and after some messing about;


Its almost like the people at steelseries had this in mind to begin with it fits so perfectly Next jobs on the board will be swapped LEDs (red/white/blue) and a USB hub.... So it will end up like a 7g only better!
