I love channels that put in time stamps❤️
Me too
Wait
Same
k
I love time stamps with built in channels.
No joke, that "unboxing" of the cables was super sick.. I enjoyed that more than I probably should have!
Thanks so much man! Appreciate it a ton
she leaked her address?
@@glyphicalz4536 If you can read that, I think there's a job for you at FBI, buddy!
@@ThisMayContainNuts huh ?
@@ThisMayContainNuts look back on it am i trippin ?
Love your videos, the attention and work you put into informing your viewers!
I appreciate that!
I picked up the old Z-Series for my SK-61. Thankfully it fit my board, but good to know they've made improvements in their new cables.
PERFECT TIMING! I'm building my first keyboard and was looking for a good affordable cable. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
I was just thinking about what coil to buy with my new set-up. You're a lifesaver, keep up the great content! :]
(Editing is also notable, the changes you're making are great!)
Glad I could help!
aviator connectors are not supposed to be srewed flush on purpose. This way you will always be able to put maximum tension on the connecting prongs, even when more slack is introduced by long term usage. If not you will be able to partially disconnect the prongs when pulled on, which the thread is there to prevent.
Great video. Really enjoyed how you explained the pros and cons. After this I tried finding the e series but no luck on Amazon. But, and this may offend some of the purists, I went a totally different route. I got a cable that lights up lol. Might look really cheesy but at least it's different.
Plus the keeb I got (Epomaker Niz plum) has no RGB so this might help get some light back. Also my desk set up is a little different than most, my desk is to my right not in front of me so I don't place my keyboard on a desk but on my lap. So the coiled cable would probably not really work for me anyway.
Oh man that unbox intro so epic!!!! imagine if there was baby powder booming as well hahaha. Awesome review as always!
Wow nice video! I enjoyed watching it. Congrats on 25K 🥳
Thank you so much 😁
Hey Bets ! Just like I was looking for coiled cables on amazon. You're a mind reader !!! As always great video and Love from France.
Glad I could help
Great review, and some descent cables. I would have loved to throw mine in there to see what you thought.
The unboxing part was superb! ❤️
Glad you liked it!!
great video Betty! I can tell you guys improved your quality. I recently picked up a budget custom cable from aliexpress and i'm still waiting on it -.-
That is awesome!
I just ordered the TezCable because of your video and used your code. Thanks!
Thank you!
Dope B-Roll Betty 👏🏻
Great review! Keep up the awesome job!
Thanks, you too!
Just ordered my NK65 finally and wanted to get a cool cable. Thank you!
I must be the only mechanical keyboard enthusiast that avoids coiled cables with aviator at all cost. These take so much space on the desk it's hard to maintain a clean look with them. Plus aviators are only practical if you change your keyboard every paragraph.
Same here, not a fan of coiled cables. I'd rather a clean straight cable than the coil, especially since I reposition my keyboard for some games.
Those are pretty much for the aesthetics
I had made a blueprint for a cable with dual aviator connectors but I decided to research more on these connectors before commissioning the cable artist. It turns out both GX-16 and YC8 have a lifespan insertion/mating cycles) of 500 cycles. Not worth the money.
Great video! I like the vapor e series cable
Good choice!
The unboxing was awesome great job
Glad you liked it
I like this new stuffs in the channel, keep up the good work
Glad you enjoy it!
I recently bought a Z-series in white. They've updated it similarly to the E-series. The connectors are now heat-shrinked, the aviator screws in all the way, and the coil is around 4 inches away from keyboard instead of 5. Really glad they made these updates on the Z-series as well!
Do you know if the e series will work on the womier k87?
@@kingclassified8503 I can't say for sure, but it looks like your keyboard has a lot of RGB. I don't have any RGB on my board and it works fine, but I've seen several reviews saying that the cable will not work on boards with a lot of lighting.
@@K2APX oh ok
Why is that?
According to their website, the longer length created by the coil is the reason why it may not work with some keyboards. Doesn't explain why other coiled cables made by other people work though.
Helpful video
I spent several hours last night researching budget cables,,, what are the odds
Haha, nice!
Hello, just discovered your channel this week and its pretty amazing, I order the Keychron K8 because of your review and its fairly priced and got a disscount on black friday.
Now I come asking for some custom cable advice, wich of those cables above would you recommend me for the K8? Also the usb-c its on the left side wich might have some trouble becuase its not in the top, maybe Im gonna need a usb-c extension for a short cable? Anyway would love to hear some opinion on wich cable to buy ( I hope you have tested it).
Top tier reviewer!! Thanks so much!
Much appreciated!
love your content! just ordered the black cables myself from your link!
Thank you so much! Appreciate the support :)
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Same Order the black one myself
I was so interested in getting the tez z series in black and red and this review made my mind set. Ordering this week
Nice!
I just recently bought the Varmilo Beijing Opera keyboard and was looking for a different cable. Any suggestions on what cable you would pair with it?
Loved the video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank for the tips bro
You bet
Lots of great looking cables here. Can’t go wrong with white+black lemo connectors!!
You got that right!
I got one a few days ago. Can't wait !
Woooo!
How long are the Tez E cables after the coil to the USB-A connector?
ZIYOU LANG C01 Custom Coiled USB C to A Cable. Got it on Amazon for 12 bucks. I use it for work everyday with my finicky Keychron C2 with no issues. The ends are metal, the screw on connectors stay once screwed together, no worries.
your videos are amazing, big fan from chile
Thank you so much!
As a late and probably buried reply, I got my Tez Cables E series cables in today and they do in fact work with my Massdrop ALT. I've tested 2 Matrix Keyboards cables, 2 Sui Paracords cables, these 2 Tez Cables E Series, and a Space Cables laser cable and all of them have worked fine.
Note that I'm using a Crosshair VII Hero motherboard. Also note that I have NOT tried the USB-C passthrough feature of this keybaord, pretty much ever.
Great to know!
How did I just now find this? I'm curious how many cables you had at the time and how many you have now.
Hey, what's the difference between cables with 4 pins aviator and 5 pins aviator?
I love these
B Roll is good enough to be hand held but the focus seems to be a little bit harsh but its good. Keep it up looking forward!
Thans
If you want some inspiration for how to do really good B Roll I'd recommend watching Hardwarecanucks, Badseed Tech and Randomfrankp. All those tech RUclips Channels have extremely high quality B Roll footage. I also subscribe to DSLR Video Shooter's channel for camera/gear reviews + advice on film making. I believe he recommended creating a space separate from your main recording area just for B Roll. I don't know if you have enough space for something like that, but it is definitely something all these RUclipsrs have.
Excuse my ignorance im kinda new to custom keyboards, are there any difference in performance between the coiled cable and tha basic one you get with the board?
Great video, cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
What do you think of the Akko cables?
Thanks! Didn't want to spend $100 just for coil cable and the choke piece.
i can see you're really proud of the unboxing😂...looks sick
Thank you!
great video, I'm thinking of getting the black one
That's the one I'm currently using :)
The thumbnail was so cute 🥰🥰 great job Betty, as usual 🧡🧡🧡 big fan
The cinematography is getting better!! Im so happy to see all the efforts you've put in your broll !!! :D great job
Thank you so much 🤗
@@SwitchandClickOfficial I really liked it too!
@@SwitchandClickOfficial
Customer support of Tez Cables just recently emailed me regarding my order of the e-series cable. Apparently one user complained that it does not fit the Durgod Hades even though it is heatshrink, are you able to confirm that before I cancel my order?
Does the E-Series work good with the HyperX Alloy Origins 60??? I'm assuming it might since it worked with the HyperX alloy Origins Core, but just wanted to make sure before I go and buy one.
I don’t see much info on idobao’s coiled cables. Have you heard about or tried them?
yes I need one of these. I will order soon xd
Hi! can you review the keychron aviator cables?
I was watching a few of DIY videos on coiled cables, heck no, im not cutting the cable and doing that stuff. Thank you!
thanks for this! I currently have a sky blue (mini usb) coiled cable that i purchased for a ridiculous price about a year and a half ago.
been looking for a black one (usb c) that is budget friendly. just ordered one through your affiliated link.
hopefully it looks as good as the one on your review.
Thanks for the support! Hope you like it :)
Great video! What's your preference on the diameter? I can't seem to find much and everyone get's the 1/2 in, but the 3/8 seems pretty nice?
I actually prefer straight cable
Loved the thok one 🙂
Same
Does e-series fit the Akko PC75B plus keyboard?
Idk if anyone is gonna see this but what do aviators do? im curious on what the difference between and regular usb-c cable and a aviator is.
Nothing, they're just for aesthetics. You technically can mix and match the two cable ends because of the aviator, but I don't think most people do that.
I made my own, it is really easy and fun to do.
Could you list the materials you used I want to make one too
@@soulfu4701 You can get that in a kit from cruzctrl.gg . They have quite a lot of colors to pick from both for techflex and for paracord, you can choose the materials you use, and there's even a detailed tutorial for them made by a channel called Keybored
I know this is kind of specific but do you or anyone else know of any budget 65% hot-swappable PCBs? I was thinking of getting the GK68X PCB from KPRepublic but I am not the biggest fan of the changed backspace location.
Does the e-series fit the kemove snowfox?
Hi, hope all is well, I bought an sk61 and i feel like i may need a new pcb. It is a 60% optical pcb. I have not been able to find one help!!!!
Is this new E series compatible with Razer Huntsman TE?
Would the e series fit a kemove snowfox 61?
I picked up my custom cable from StrikerCables on etsy. They really do add a nice touch to a custom keyboard.
Very cool!
does the z series work on hyperX alloy 60%? pls answer
1. Get a nice braided cable
2. Put it on a rod with the desired width of the coil
3. Heat it with a heat gun for 15 min, let it rest for 10 min
4. Heat it for 5 min and let it cool for 5 min and repeat for 2 to 3 hrs
And your done...
Like 👍
dat knife from intro saw so many unpacking ;)
:)
Can I basically use a type c charger?
Hey ! video suggestion here, might not be the best but it would be really fun to see you make your own budget coiled cable! ppl use a heat gun and coil it around a drumstick and heat it up to coil it pretty fun idea, if it doesnt clash with ur existing video timetable :)
I'll think about it. I don't have a heat fun or a drumstick lol
@@SwitchandClickOfficial hairdryer will be enough for the first time :)
Is there a cable you would recommend for Keychron K6? The USB-C port is on the left side. Just wondering if there any left/right angle USB-C cables available out there?
Not that I know of
It's worth noting the Z-Series cable did get a minor update after they launched. On my white one, the length from the keyboard connector to the coil is about 2-3 inches. Kinda crazy they're not launching this series with a white colorway.
They are, it's just not ready yet
@@SwitchandClickOfficial Sorry, I meant they're not launching the E-Series cables with a white, looks like they're coming after launch.
@@reznoire Oh I see
Hello fam, I just bought their new E series Mizu Blue cable after watching this video and after seeing it, I came to a conclusion that it's one sexy cable to pair with my Ducky SF in white.
Nice!
I was thinking about getting the space cables, how do the E-series and Tezcable compare to Space cable?
I've never used Space Cables but I assume they're similar to the THOK cable
what cable would you suggest is best for the keychron with the side USB-C? This or something custom from Mechcables?
These would fit the Keychron ones
You should check matrix also dont have one yet but they look really good for 35?
I did watch it!! You need to clean your knife blade XD
Awesome video :D
Haha yeah, it's just one of those multi tool things
dose it fit with hyperX alloy 60%?
I've never been into coiled cables but I think maybe that needs to change soon lol. Also I love the color in this video.
thanks Randy!
omg, that b-roll though!
Thank you!
2021! :) hours of commenting this is a mile stone for me :)
Betty, would these work with the Drop ALT or CTRL? I think you mentioned before that the Z series didn’t work because of the Drop’s power requirements, I’m wondering if this series is any different?
Nope, too long
@@SwitchandClickOfficial okay, thank you!
Do they work fine with DROP keyboards? i'v heard they are rather sensitive to cable length and quality, wouldn't want to get one for it to not work eventually :(
I doubt it. I've tried many cables with Drop boards, and none of them have worked except the original cable
From what I've seen, compatibility with the Drop boards can be a coin-toss since it also depends on the power supplied from the motherboard.
Though I will note, going through the checkout process on Tez Cable's site, there was a note saying that these cables don't work with the ALT and CTRL boards. Honestly I feel like that's probably a statement to cover themselves, since all the coiled cables I've tried have worked with my ALT. But I also have an expensive motherboard.
@@Ragnorok64 I have a dorp shift. I take it I'd run the same risks with cables. I do have a $300 mobo with focus on power delivery so I need to test.
Is it possible to use any of these cords with the Anne Pro 2?
Which one, if any, would be the best?
finally an Anne Pro 2 enjoyer
they should both work, the only difference between the two is that the E-Series has more color options and the aviator on the E-series is slightly better than the Z-series.
But that's pretty much it.
Do you think GeekCables are worth their price? Over here they're more expensive than some keyboards (we don't have many choices sadly)
should i buy one of those cable or do i buy from matrix cables or whatever they r called
depends on your budget. if you have a larger budget, go for a spacecables or mechcables one.
I am not hating but what does the aviator connection do? Is it just for looks? I honestly don't know, but would like to. They look great by the way. Nice videos!
It's mainly just for looks I believe.
Looks and easy switch-a-roos
Can you review the GammaKay/Wokier k61? It has 5 pin hotswappable and I want to see if it is worth it.
Supposed to come in the mail, but hasn't yet
Theres also the same exact thing on amazon, Same thing.
I want to but these cable but I didn’t know if this fix my keyboard. But you have the same keyboard like me. Thanks for everything
Good luck!
Any recommendations for budget (~$30-40) uncoiled aviator cables?
Kraken Keyboards?
All these custom cables are made the same way and use the same connectors, some painted or others anodized. Is the difference between a more expensive one and budget one the wire gauge?
I don't think so. Maybe the custom colors!
i know i´m late but please answer cuase i just baught the z series and i have the 60%
have u ever build a handwiring keyboard what is the pros and cons?
I have not
What do you use for your b roll?
Canon SL2 with kit lens, still poor lol
I love the seriousness of these old videos without the silly voice!
This may be off topic but Id really like to know if gateron yellows are compatible with the redragon k530. I want to try them because my brown switches feel slow.
No, Redragon only accepts Outemu switches
If not whats a good alternative that may fit in the board
GK61
