Thank you for the 2010s pack poker, SA set, aviator cable and some nice clicky switches. The snacks were lovely too

And aviator cables would alleviate that by moving the violent yanks and the stresses they induce from the PCB to the middle of the cable.


Yes, they would absorb some of the short-term shocks, but the average perpendicular force exerted on the socket will not change, which still is likely to cause ...

That is true, but a similar durability can be achieved with aviator cables on USB-C,


The problem is not the cable, that is easily replaced. The problem is the demolition done to the PCB mounted USB socket on the PCB.

To be exact, violent janks at the cable perpendicular to the socket, that's ...

... last decades. A USB-B PCB-socket is likely to survive that timeframe, a USB-C PCB-socket is likely to end up damaged in that same timeframe.


That is true, but a similar durability can be achieved with aviator cables on USB-C, whereas the ecosystem compatability of USB-C cannot be achieved with B.

Aviator connectors come to mind, if you want to mod all your keyboards for a boss, vintage jack.

... box I just drilled out the hole I previously had for micro USB (which was also fine until I dug it out of its hot glue entombment) to fit a female aviator connector since I have made a few cables and mounted the same connector on a good number of boards. You can swing things over your head by those ...

... with the original controller? Was it one of the ones that didn't have the strap for the micro USB port? They're pretty fragile without it. I have been able to replace one that was damaged entirely with a female aviator connector, but it is a major pain to tap into the existing pins and/or traces.

... 1.5 feet. The coil was actually very nice, and it is tight and consistent loops with matte finish and not shiny plastic. I do not like the braided aviator cables, but I suppose those might work if they fit your style.

As for quality, it seems ok. Maybe someone can find a longer coiled cable but I ...

All these Reddit folks spending like $50 for coiled cables saying that they’re gonna unscrew the aviator connector and leave a 1-foot heavy whip connected to their board and connect another board to the long strand but buying a new $50 cable for each board instead so the colors match the GMK caps…

Fitted with pink caps from Korean company called Monstagear. PBTs but don't expect much quality from it. And obviously, it's double-shot Korean/English.

LED effectes are smooth, too, goes great with pink aviator cables.

Expecting 150-ish USD shipped from Korea.

Thank you ;)

This board is very clean and converted internally to USB. The USB cable is coiled and connects via a modular aviator plug.
The switches feel and sound nice and the plate has been cleaned of rust. Converted/modded by zrrion.

Feel wise - interesting and definitely better than Cherry ML

That cable detachable cable beats the regular aviator detachable cable design and just looks like a baws.

One word: Magnificent.

The aviator connector is the boss, and those cables are giving me ideas. Where did you find those?

For a minute there, I thought you were talking about the arcade watch.

Exhibition case back, automatic, in that nice aviator style for only $56?? That's a hell of a deal. At that price though, it can't possibly be made in Japan.

That's a nice clean aviator style. I like the fact that it has day & date. The only thing I miss on mine is day. (How the hell am I ever going to figure out what day it is now.)
