So, i'm pretty idiotic when it comes to stuff like this.
I'm currently using a mouse with a horrible rubber cable, and want to replace it with a braided cable, for the better aesthetics, and simply because it is more fluid when moving it.
I have a few questions that I would be grateful if anyone can answer.
The mouse is a
Razer Krait 4g.
Here is the stock cable(unsheathed)
Here is how it connects in to the mouse.
As you can see the connector from left to right is Black-Black-Green-White-Red.
Here is the cable I originally was wanting to use.
it is from a 'Mionix Avior 7000' that I no longer use. I removed this cable, however upon plugging it in to the mouse, it did not register at all. I removed it, plugging the cable back in to the Avior, and it works just fine, so I took a closer look at the connector, and noticed it is Black-Black-White-Green-Red(white and green leads are flipped positions from the razer mouse). I checked a few other mice I had lying about(also razer mice) and noticed they have the same layout.
I scrambled to find another braided cable(had a spare Razer Taipan), and checked
this one. It's nowhere near the same quality as the Mionix, and is just as stiff as the original rubber cable, however, upon plugging this one in to my mouse, it did work, and if you'll notice, the leads are the same as the original cable(Black-Black-Green-White-Red).
So i guess, my question is:
Theoretically, would it be possible to simply switch the White/Green connectors on the Mionix cable, so they match the layout that Razer cables use, and have it work? or would I just be potentially destroying an otherwise working cable.
