The core look a little bit unsafe to me
What do you mean by "core"?
I mean cable. Sorry for my poor Eng .
Oh no it's all good. What about it does it make you assume that it's unsafe? I'm just a little curious, from my viewpoint it looks like a rather quality cable. Generally in a cable each individual wire has heat shrink around it and then one big heat shield to enclose all the wires. Rather than using one big heat shield to enclose all the wires, Calvin twists the wires similar to a rope to hold everything together and make a tight cable.
Thanks for stating that Steezus, great explanation

Yeah that's the point. The cables aren't protected so it seem a little bit unsafe to me. Maybe cover it with some kind of transparent material make me feel safer ) That's just my opinion. All the cables look great and quality tho.
Hi Liam,
I understand your concern about the safety but I'm here to talk a little about it. I got my inspiration from custom made audio cables like those from Double Helix cables, Effect Audio and etc. Most of the case, you don't see them adding additional materials to cover it up.
First, it will sacrifice the flexibility of the cable, as for now my cables hold a certain shape because I braid them following the curve of the wires (almost any wire will have certain amount of "memory" unless you straighten it). if I am to add a layer of clear flexible heat shrink over it, it will never be as flexible as it is naked. Second, the cable is meant to use with keyboards and generally keyboards draw very small amount of power (I think, correct me if i'm wrong), so the concern of any leakage of electricity is negligible. Third, if you're concerned about durability. Yes, I have to admit exposing the wires is a little risky, if 2 strand of wires from the same connection point(carrying the same signal, ie, both the wires carrying the data signal)is broken, then it will stop working.
So, if you're having knives, scissors or any sharp materials that will potentially damage the cable lying around on your table, then I have to say it have the potential to damage your keyboard, keycaps and etc as well. Oh, don't forget if you have pets that like to chew things up.
Your point is good, just that it will have to forgo a few things to achieve that. And IF it is a huge concern for you, I think you will be better having a nice premium sleeved cable. Really appreciate your input
