Razer Blackwidow Chroma v2 Disassembly and USB-C Mod

<< < (2/2)

Semaze:
Hey there,
Just thought I'd say, after upgrading to a Huntsman V2 TKL, and loving the USB C port, I had a similar idea about doing this with my Blackwidow V2.
Many thanks for all the documentation, it'll be super handy.
I'm going to give this a go too, but I wanna use a USB hub internally, with a USB sound card so the passthrough and aux jack can still work.
Hopefully you like the sounds of this, and give it a go too. 👍

Semaze:
Just a quick addition, I haven't checked yet, but believe the aux it'll likely use the CTIA model. So outputs should be:
1. Left
2. Right
3. Ground
4. Mic

Just a quick update to say it all worked. Just used an off the shelf unpowered usb hub, and a Sabrent USB soundcard. I was going to add mic, but ended up ruining the mic port's pads on the adaptor, so just used audio instead. Also I reused the original cable, and a spare shielded USB C cable, and tied all the grounds together. If you wanna do the same thing as me, I'd suggest getting a USB Soundcard that is made for aux headsets rather than audio and mic being separate like mine.

Hello..

Can you please explain how did you tie up all grounds from the USB hub & sound card and later solder it to usb-c female port shell? I'm planning to do the project, but can't understand what to do with grounds
