If we order multiple cables, will they be invoiced together?
How long do you plan to run the GB for?
Is TRRS an option?
Approved :)
If we order a cable terminated in USB A at one end and USB C at the other, will the cable have the appropriate 56k ohm resistor to follow the usb type c spec?
I see the limits in the RAL for the magenta, but I'm wondering why the black is 9011 Graphite Black instead of 9005 Jet Black. Do you have pics of samples for both? I can see 9011 looking like MaxKey Ninja which is a little too on the grey side.

Sorry if this was already covered in the [IC] - I just noticed the actual spec.
I'm in for both pink and black once I get to the forms.
sorry for being dumb. but what's terminated, unterminated?
I’m tight on cash right now, when is the deadline for joining this?
sorry for being dumb. but what's terminated, unterminated?
Thank you for your reply. Now I 100% understood.
I actually have one more dumb question... Do you know if I can fit the unterminated one into Realforce 87u?
I would like to reiterate, if you are ordering more than 1 cable, please submit the form for each cable. It's much easier to scrape the form results for MOQ numbers and overall order data when each submission is for a single cable. All orders to the same PayPal will be consolidated into a single invoice.Quote from: donjoan666 link=topic=95028.msg2588337#date=1522948678

I'm not sure since I've not dealt with one before, you'd have to find someone to measure the opening on one to see.

I measured the stock Realforce cable on my 87UB55 with calipers to be 4.75 mm in diameter. A 6.5mm cable will fit through the opening in the plastic housing but without modification, its not going to fit through the cable routing channels.
Would love to join but shipping will probably kill it for me :-\
Is MOQ fixed? I'm thinking of posting at kbdlab.com to gather more people.
Are you okay with international shipping?
I'm also concerned if the shipping cost will increase a lot.
Do you know how much the cost will be approximately?...
Thanks in advance.
Would love to join but shipping will probably kill it for me :-\
Would like to know about international shipping too, specifically to Europe in my case.
Any estimate on US shipping? Maybe it's another thing already mentioned that I've missed.
Go pink go-go-go!
I guess we are only six people with any light left in our cold dead hearts. I weep for your souls for the glory is among us and you do not see.
With unterminated ends, can you include a termination for me to solder myself, or are they too specialized? I see now why detachable cables are prevalent--fixed cables are a pain.
Can I get a 90° mini on one end?
MOQ isn't fixed, we'd actually benefit from going over it. I am ok with shipping internationally as long as people are understanding of the prices. According to the manu each of these cables weighs 240g or 8.5oz, so shipping to a couple different locations including 2.5oz packaging weight is listed below as a reference:
Canada - ~$16
Australia - ~$23
Germany - ~$23
Hong Kong - ~$23
Croatia - ~$23
France - ~$23
South Korea - ~$23
This is all for single cables and approximated due to minor variations of like $.20 between locations, and is unfortunately higher than I was initially anticipating. Proxying could potentially work if there's enough orders from areas to justify the bulk shipments from me to the proxy and their proxying costs. I'll have to look into that further.
Do these cables have twisted pair for data lines? Are they shielded?
What happens if we don't meet moq?
In for a pink and black one (you monochromes have hearts as black as the cable you're buying :p)

You're not alone - beige baaaaby!
Why does everyone think beige=grey? Kind of disappointing.
Current MOQs:

Beige - 55/100
Magenta - 17/100

Where'd you get the idea everyone things beige = grey?

The "beige" color option is silk grey. The beige option for the /dev/tty keysets was also grey. It just seems that some people are using beige and grey interchangeably. https://www.magazinecafestore.com//media/catalog/product/1/4/14-1118_beige_1.jpg (https://www.magazinecafestore.com//media/catalog/product/1/4/14-1118_beige_1.jpg) How are people getting grey from this?
If you're willing to change your order from magenta to beige or black, just submit the form again and note that you're replacing your magenta order in the comment box.
Come on Beige! Come on!
Damn, I'm on my phone right now but I'll definitely make an order. How many days left?
I am concerned about finding one for Asia since I don't really know anyone other than zFrontier, and something like this isn't really what they usually deal with. If anyone has any suggestions for proxies I'm listening.
I would like to change the connectors on the cables that I ordered. Can I still do that? I chose mini usb but figured that usb c makes more sense in the future.
I don't remember what exactly I ordered for the black and magenta and which was which. Can I follow up on the email to switch the magenta to black? Or it's there another way you prefer?
What heatshrink colors did you all choose?
What heatshrink colors did you all choose?
Beige with gray
Went unassembled, it's easy enough to add connectors and heatshrink (if a bit tedious) and idk what final length I want yet on either end.

Alright, I've finished organizing the order submissions for invoicing, first invoices will start going out tomorrow afternoon EST. I've still not received responses from some of those I've emailed about their orders, if I don't receive a response before submitting to the manu your order won't make it in.

Paid! I'm having a last minute moment of indecision, but if I wanted to switch from Black to Beige, is it too late to do that?
Invoice paid. Just to make sure: did you receive my PM a while back about changing the connector from Mini to C? No worries if it is too late now, I can live with the Mini connector if you've started on the cables already. :)
Alrighty, many thanks!Invoice paid. Just to make sure: did you receive my PM a while back about changing the connector from Mini to C? No worries if it is too late now, I can live with the Mini connector if you've started on the cables already. :)
Yes, your order is for A to C. And just for reference, cable production won't be starting until I get the cables from the manu, which I haven't submitted an order for yet.
I paid invoice but never posted "paid" here. Do I need to do that?
4 orders left unpaid and with no contact. I've sent reminders declaring tomorrow as the cutoff since I don't feel like holding up the buy any longer. I'll be getting in contact with the manu this evening(morning China time) to get the final quote and work on submitting the order.
hey mr donut! Any idea on ETA for this cable?
Thx
What would be super cool would be if you'd offer a design with a longer micro-usb end, to make it perfect for Ellipse's new F77. That keyboard has a length of cable inside the case you see. A little more than half the length of the long piece in the current cable added to the micro-usb end, would do it imho.
Update 5/24/18
Payment has been submitted to the manu, estimated ship date of 12 days after payment clears.
Is there any chance of a SEA proxy? Shipping seems rather expensive currently
At the current length I'm already playing with the USB's rated length for data transfer, so I'd need to change the design of the cable pretty noticeably to get more length out of it. Good news is as long as the manu sticks to their end of the agreement with production, I'll be looking to work with them in the future for more cables like this.
Hey donut, were any extra unterminated cables ordered? I figure there's a higher likelihood of extra unterminated cables being ordered, if any extras were ordered at all.

Any extras are unterminated and will be built to order once available.
In other news, got an email this morning that the cables are finished up and getting ready to ship
I expect them to arrive in around a week as long as customs doesn't take too much time with them.

Yeah I forgot if I ordered black or beige in the end, and if there are extras, I probably need one more of the other that I didn't get :-\
That beige looks rather gray, I wish I got one of each now instead of two black
lookin good!
it's been awhile so i forget, was shipping included or will it be in a subsequent invoice?
Based off the tracking the cables appear to be progressing through customs still, I'm hoping that process won't be taking too long.

Definitely wish they were more of a beige color, but I love grey cables also :)
Just to make sure, the cables will be assembled and ready to use when we get them?
Can you post pics of gray and beige next to each other?
I still like the color, but I'm hoping in the future it might be possible to get some true beige colored ones.Can you post pics of gray and beige next to each other?
Well, unfortunately there's not a "grey and beige", there's just the single color that's meant to be beige.
(https://i.imgur.com/NwUHln4.jpg) (https://i.imgur.com/NwUHln4.jpg)
It does seem that the "beige" came out less saturated than I had expected from that RAL code, and direct lighting doesn't much help the coloration though in dimmer lighting it's a bit better.
I still like the color, but I'm hoping in the future it might be possible to get some true beige colored ones.
If/when a R2 happens I'll be sure to have a more "true" beige option available since this one didn't turn out that way.

So, just to be clear, when you toss up leftovers there will be only black and gray, correct?
What I want to know is whether the beige is just a lighter gray, or there is no beige and there's only gray and black.

Thanks for the update, Donut.
Can you terminate cables with right-angle USB mini connectors? The CA66 has a USB mini connector on the left side, instead of on the top edge -- it seems like a right angle connector might be a good option.
What about mine which will be terminating with a ps2 connector for OTD boards?
Alright, so the first shipping invoices have gone out this afternoon for the CONUS unterminated cables. I'm confident in this batch of boxes that I've chosen to use and I'll be looking forward to feedback from the recipients to confirm that the packaging works as well as my testing showed. Additionally, I've received my shipment of Mini connectors and as planned the internal layout of the connector will make it much easier to avoid shorts(even though they're comfy and easy to wear). I would like to remind people to please make sure their address in their PayPal is up to date before paying the shipping invoices since the PayPal address is what I'll be shipping to.
One other thing that I'd like to bring up that might be relevant to my estimated production timeline. A couple weeks back my grandfather had surgery on his foot to try and repair his crumbling bones. Due to that he's going to be in a cast and largely unable to move around on his own for the next 3-4 months. Because of this, quite a bit more of my time than usual is spent helping him move around, get in and out of bed and his chair, yard work at his house, and other things he's currently unable to do on his own while recovering. This means I have less time in a day to work on stuff than I used to and that I'm more often away from my workspace. I'm still planning on trying my best to be able to get these cables out in a reasonable amount of time, but I want to make people aware that I may not be able to stick to the original timeline, and I hope people will be understanding of that. If your order is time sensitive, ie you're moving soon, PM me and I'll see what we can work out, within reason.

For those of us getting unterminated cables, are there recommendations you can make on the connectors to use? It sounds like you've given it quite a lot of thought.
Thanks for the kind words so far, and it's also much appreciated that y'all are being so understanding about this as well.Best wishes for your grandfather, thanks for being open about the timeline.
For those of us getting unterminated cables, are there recommendations you can make on the connectors to use? It sounds like you've given it quite a lot of thought.
I'm not sure what's necessarily the best in this case since working with materials this thick isn't something I've done before, but I'll show roughly what I'm going to be using:
- USB A - https://www.ebay.com/itm/100Pcs-USB-2-0-Type-A-4-Pin-Male-Three-Types-Plug-Connector-For-PC-DIY/170939237861?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
This is the same design as the connectors I buy in bulk. The solder cups are large and fairly easy to get even the 22ga wires on these cables into without shorting. The "flaps" won't quite reach around the outer insulation to crimp it, but I've had success crimping it around the inner conductors themselves, which are plenty strong for this use case, and I'll actually put a little bit of tape or heatshrink around the inner wires to add a bit more girth and insulation against possible shorts.
- USB Mini - https://www.ebay.com/itm/100Pcs-Mini-USB-5-Pin-Male-Socket-Connector-For-DIY/180896132386?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649
This is the same design as my Mini connectors I order. With only three of the solder cups across the bottom it gives just that extra bit of spacing needed to avoid shorting, though a steady hand is still needed. When using this style though you also need to leave the D- line slightly longer than the other three to reach that upper 4th cup.
- USB Micro - https://www.alliedelec.com/keystone-electronics-941/70182298/
Finding Micro connectors with metal casings is hard, like so hard. So far these are the only ones I've found that I trust, but unfortunately they are a bit pricey. They also have a different pinout than other Micro connectors, something I had to learn the hard way when I first started using them. Same as with the Mini, only having three pads wide makes it much easier to deal with the larger than normal conductors in these cables.
- USB C - https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=527443161621
Same as with Micro, it's hard as balls to find C connectors with metal housings, even more so C2.0, which is kinda why I wasn't able to. So far these are the best C2.0 connectors I've been able to find even though they're plastic housing. I have been able to get some samples of metal housings that might fit the inserts I have, but I'll need to test them on a cable first.
These are what I'll be trying to work with over the next couple weeks. I'm confident in them working, but I'll be letting everyone know if something doesn't work like I'm expecting it to.
Received my unterminated cables today. Jacket material is excellent, but a bit stiff. Coils are even and have excellent rebound when stretched. Only improvement would be to have ends exit coil inline with the coil itself instead of perpendicular to it.
Overall very pleased. Thanks!

Glad to hear you like it! The coil end direction was a design choice since I wasn't sure if the stiffness of the coils would allow enough flex leading up to the board for people to angle the cable like they wanted and coming out sideways would allow them to lay along the back of the board quite easily. Also, how did the packaging work out? I'm hoping that it didn't cause any weird bends in the cables.
Small update, I got 15 cables shipped out the past week and another almost 14 orders that are ready to be packed and are waiting on some last testing to make sure they're good to go before they're shipped. Just a heads up that progress this coming week may be a little slower since I have to get Heck-keys packed and shipped, though that should just be a matter of a few days.Thanks for the update.

I'm assuming we'll all be getting shipping invoices when our cables are ready to be sent? Haven't gotten one yet.
Neat, how many total cables were ordered again?
Paid my shipping invoice. The mailing address will correspond to the ones on PayPal at the time of payment, right? If so, :thumb:
Thanks for the updates again. It kind of sounds like USB-C won't be feasible. I mean if folks start changing their orders then is it viable if only a minority with USB-C orders remain? It kind of sucks since I bought some USB-C extension cables so might have to buy new ones with another connector type. I'm not in a big hurry so I think I will wait it out and as a worst case I can change my order if it comes down to it.
Hi DC,
Can you please provide ETA on Asia orders? I never got shipping invoice
Got my cable on monday, everything is fine, packaging, quality etc. Got what I expected. Thanks donut.
Is it possible to shave some material off one end to fit a USB-C connector?
If it's possible I would drop or transfer my spot. I ordered beige with USB-C connector.

Just received my cable a few days ago. Thanks donutcat for running this gb!
(Attachment Link)
Finished up a few days of poking with these and trying to troubleshoot, and I've found the following:
- As I kept cutting the cables shorter, measurements taken at the device connector consistently showed voltage on power and data lines to be ~5v and ~3.3v, as expected.
- The masterkeys pro L continued to work with the cable on my personal computer through every adjustment while the phone did not. Using the cable on another computer with the same pro L did not work to my surprise.
- Disconnecting the data lines allowed the phone to charge off the computer port while before it would not charge when detected as a malfunctioning device, indicating that power delivery is not the issue.
- Cutting the cable down to the ends of the coiled section, as far as is feasible to cut it down to, did not allow the phone to connect.
Unfortunately, this has all led to this conclusion: I cannot guarantee that these cables will work with any combination of cable length and devices connecting via Micro. The masterkeys that I tested with, or the ports on my pc, or a combination of the two appear to be a fluke somehow. Unfortunately I just don't know enough apparently to understand why this isn't working. I think it may have to do with the larger conductors used, resulting in resistance issues in the data lines, but I don't understand why this would be an issue with some Micro devices and not other, and not Mini or even plan B devices that I've tested.
I apologize for failing yet another part of this GB. Those that ordered Micro cables will receive an update email about the cables not working and an opportunity to switch to Mini or a refund.
Can I ask what the queue is for US orders? I changed mine from USB-C and the waiting is like an itch I can't scratch after seeing folks who have these.
Cheers.
Are you all finished with US orders? Still haven't received my shipping invoice.

Also, FWIW, that link is to the V1 version of the KPRepublic coil cable, which is short on both the USB-A and USB-C end, whereas V2 has a long straight section of USB-A end so you can get coil to presumably lay parallel to the top of your board for that aesthetic.
but starting a dispute when I've had recent contact with you and you know I'm easy to get ahold of and willing to refund is just unnecessary
Where do I sign up for extras? One man's loss is another man's treasure.

Man, you reply to, like, 12% of my posts. :'(
Is it possible to order a cable with USB type C (to A) ? How do I order this and how much will it cost?
Still have not received any refund or invoice for shipping for my two cables. :(

If you're one of the people that didn't respond to the email I sent out, I was giving everyone a little bit more time to choose to respond or not before going through with the refunds. I'm looking to send out the last of the refunds the end of this week.
I didn’t reply in time and got a refund. What does that mean for my order?
I don’t want to cancel.
Noticed it'd been awhile so wanted to comment that I'm still steadily working my way through orders inbetween packing Phantom for shipping and working on budget96, among other projects.I didn’t reply in time and got a refund. What does that mean for my order?

Your order is currently cancelled, but you'll have a chance to get back into the queue once current orders are finished.

Surely you don’t mean I need to submit a whole new order from scratch again?
Your email gave the impression it was just a temporary refund while preparing orders, there was no clear indication you intended to kick people off the list and completely cancel orders if they didn’t respond.
The email made it sound like “respond if you want to cancel”.
I just want the cables I ordered, don’t mind waiting, but cancelling my order is ridiculous and a huge pain. I can’t even remember all the details I specified now.
Seems silly to go from having submitted an order so long ago and now being told “sorry no cables for you unless you’re lucky enough to snag leftovers lol”
Would really appreciate just being left on the list. Chuck on and extra $10 if you want. Just want my order with minimal messing about. Shouldn’t be this hard? Feel screwed over by this. Automatic order cancellation is wrong, just want to pay up and receive what I ordered.

Firstly, I should have said this in the last post and wasn't thinking hard enough at the time, anyone that was part of the original orders and has cancelled or refunded will have priority on extras over "new" orders for them, so you won't have to be "lucky enough to snag leftovers", particularly when there's quite a few cables that are looking to be available at this point due to cancellations, refunds, etc. Your order information is still available to me if you're wanting to order the exact same thing, but this is also giving you a chance to adjust your order if desired.
Secondly, and no disrespect towards you, but I would like to point out the second to last section of the email I sent out:
(https://i.imgur.com/3oqm8qc.png) (https://i.imgur.com/3oqm8qc.png)
Where I explicitly stated that non-response would be taken as refund and cancellation. I'd also like to point out that I gave three weeks between when I sent the email and when I finally processed the refunds for non-response.
And yes, I agree that none of this should be this hard, I've been yelling that every time I've run into issues with making these cables and unfortunately it hasn't made it any easier on my end. I'm trying to make the best of the situation even when just cancelling all orders and walking away from this is such a tempting thought.
What's the status on the remaining cables? I have not been re-invoiced yet.
Ok, thanks for the update :-*What's the status on the remaining cables? I have not been re-invoiced yet.
The last of the orders that chose to not be refunded were finished Friday, aside from one that's sitting with the EU proxy orders. The next orders up on the block are the beginning of the refunded orders; a few US orders that were delayed due to C issues, EU proxy orders, and Asia orders. I'm hoping to have these out in a reasonable amount of time, but right now dealing with issues in other GBs, the holiday season, and some personal issues are a bit of an impedance I'm trying to work through.
Hey Donut, If I reverse my coil will it lose all its elasticity? Have you tried with any? I want to use it on a keeb with usb on the right side and have the coils go down/left. I saw a vid how they made old telephone cords theyd wrap and heat the coil to set, but then reverse it to give it its springyness, like when you get a kink but do the whole thing.
Edit: example vid (https://youtu.be/YCgbAdRRdkY?t=190)
I'm still working my way through cables when I have time between GB fulfillment. I'll actually have several orders ready to go out next week, so keep an eye out for invoices.Still not received my cable here in the USA

For everyone's info, the og coil cables take very well to reversing coil direction. This is if you want the coil to go upwards or downwards when coming out of the keyboard from the left or right. I reversed the entire cable so It would coil down, when coming out of my keyboard and going left across my desk. The coil retained its full elasticity. Tight as ****.
Any updates?Ok, thanks for the update :-*What's the status on the remaining cables? I have not been re-invoiced yet.

What about the european orders?

I'm working on the EU orders currently, but since they're through a proxy you won't see anything about them until all of them are ready for shipment and I figure out the bulk shipping cost.
