As a coiled cable owner, I prefer the versatility of a straight cable way more. Using a coiled cable means your keyboard pretty much has to stay in one place or youll ruin the coil u paid 40+ for lol.
I like non coiled cables more as well. I first I got a coiled cable but for my experience, it has to be placed perfectly otherwise it kinda becomes an eye sore. But for non coiled cables, it just looks good/natural any way you put it

They ship from china. To be fair they close down for a few weeks for Chinese New Year and that caused the 4 month delay. The cables I got from them are very nice and they had a ton of options.
Coiled is a nice idea, but straight cable is cleaner and does the same thing. In fact a 10 bucks cable does the same thing anyway. But these custom cables are missing an additional wire inside as to per correct usb spec. Aviator connector only have 4 pins( V+, ground, D+, D-), the correct spec is actually 5, the one missing is drain wire. This causes some issue with some keyboards. So while it's more expensive it doesn't have everything. That being said, I quite like rncable custom cables it's slightly cheaper than the other more famous one and you can have a device side usb connector that has a led on it.
Imagine using rubber Anker cables tho /s But for real, lots of nice braided cables out there from Anker and others like Baseus which aesthetically are pleasing and are easy to use
Would it not be better and a quicker disconnect/connect to use a mid cable USB C male+female (or even USB A m+f)? Not to mention this is already very much a standard. If you connect your aviator/slimline/lemo half to someone elses half cable, won't that likely end in damaged equipment due to no standard pinout? And really, this is achievable without soldering. Just buy a short USB C male-male cable and a long USB C female - USB A male. Or whatever your needs are. I haven't checked if those cable connector combos are available at all.
Hello Andy, I am a bit curious about the blue cable with the "brass-colored" slimline connector. Which color and finish did you choose to achieve that color? Thank you, and I enjoyed the video as always!
@@AndyVNguyen Thank you so much! I'm planning on ordering a black cable with Gold slimline. I was just worried that the gold would look too yellow. Thanks!
@@AndyVNguyen Thanks. I'm using a Royal Kludge G68 keyboard and I always remove the cable once it's full. Thanks cuz I havent seen any of this on YT video of its safe to plug the coiled cable on keyboard all the time
I don’t recommend magnetic cables for keyboards that have recessed USB ports. It’s really hard to get the magnetic piece out. I bought a keyboard once where someone used those on a $500 keyboard and used tweezers to try to remove it.. and scratched up the keyboard case.
@@AndyVNguyen normally the international shipping costed me $21 USD for the first 0.5kg and $13 USD every additional 0.5kg, and arrive to me in 1-2 weeks most of time.
Nice to see a trusted cable company providing cables for this hobby, and great to see them partnering with a trusted keyboard influencer. Great stuff bro! I'm a straight cable guy now, but I'll check these out. ✌
For me $40 is my limit. I love the look of the custom gmk themed cables but I cannot swallow the cost so I stick with budget premade ones. Maybe once I graduate and start earning for myself I’ll consider buying just one for my fabled endgame board
i literally got a custom handmade gmk themed cable for around 1500inr, which translates to usd 18. Depending on your location, you might get good rates too
1:15 , And ironically if you were to detach it at that aviator / lemo connector instead of unplugging from the usb, you could probably put more wear on the usb port as now there's a heavy piece of metal dangling on a cable, being supported only by the usb port.

If i remember correctly I think ppl wanted coiled cables like the ones for the Model M because it was a cleaner way of having a longer cables. And the quick connect like aviators were used because the older Kustom keyboards dint have usb ports, the cables had to be soldered on to the pcb or used JST.
Man can't wait to get into this hobby, I wanna replace my corsair strafe that's 5+ years old so bad but it's still going strong so waiting for an excuse to replace it or get some more cash to buy a kit. Great content as usual!

But for me, I want to at least try to repair it. And repair it I did, yesterday. This is my first successful desoldering of both the red LED and the switch. Was a personal Chef's Kiss moment for me as I have never been able to desolder correctly before and it's very frustrating when you mess it up. Was a little grubby in there for sure, but I cleaned all the caps and the internal cavity areas. Looks new (apart from the ABS shine on some key caps).

When you don't know how fancy cables are made, it seems like an industrial/difficult process that requires a lot of tools, because the final result might not look like any prebuilt cable. Sure people can sell their cables to save time to the ones that'll buy it, or even add parts that are to make/find or requires more tools than a standard coil (Cerakoting, powder coating, retail LEMO etc) but promoting sites that are trying to gatekeeping the making of products for profit is what will ruin the hobby on the long term.

Nice review. One thing which is missing or I missed: these cables are full USB 3 standard? My keyboard has a USB 3 Type-A port and I use it a lot to connect my USB 3.1 sticks and the speeds are important to me. It will be a pity to spend 70-100$ on a cable with just a USB 2.0 limit - to just 30-35MBps.
I source the aviator, sleeve, cable, port from difference vendor myself. The soldering work might be harder at first but I thought it is a really fun experience, just like building keyboard. That said, source the right color of heatshrink can be difficult sometimes.
Aviator is doable. The slimmer ones get really tricky. The cable itself is always time consuming.. all my friends that have DIYed have said that they’d rather pay someone else to do it lol
