Title: Wood/Cables - A new alternative to custom USB cables
Post by: Wood_Cables on Wed, 06 February 2019, 11:30:29
**DETACHABLE CABLES ARE NOT CURRENTLY AVAILABLE, TRYING TO SORT SOME THINGS OUT AND MAYBE HAVE DIFFERENT CONNECTORS.**

[Wood/Cables](https://www.woodcables.com)

I've added some important coil information, check the details when ordering.

Any recommendations I provide are based on my own opinion. I do not have the keysets in person to do a direct comparison.

Straight cables start at $12.

Coiled cables start at $17

Godspeed cable starts at $14 (TechFlex included by default)

Length of the cable and the inclusion of TechFlex will increase the price.

US Shipping - $4 flat, unless the weight is over something like 12oz, then it could be more.

Canada Shipping - $10 flat.

Rest of the world - $15 flat.

My typical turn around time is about 10 days to from order to ship.

If anyone has ideas of what they'd like to see, especially with popular cap set themed cables, I'm open to suggestions.

As of now, all major payment methods are accepted, including PayPal.

Thanks in advance!

Looks nice, have any GID options for cables? I recently got a GID 3D printed case, entered the GID switch GB, and can find some GID keycaps I imagine. So why not a GID cable too?

GID as in glow in the dark? I CAN get glow in the dark paracord but the entire thing doesn't glow, but rather little sections/pieces/particles of the cord. I'm not exactly sure how it works but there are some options out there. I just don't have them offered because it's a pretty unique request. Hard to go wrong with white.

Yes, sorry. GID is Glow In the Dark. Would I need to get other people interested in a GID cable for you to buy the paracord?

Here is my case I want to pair the potential cable with:

No, because the raw material isn't too expensive. Plus, I'm still in the phase where I'm building up supply with the funds I collect from orders. I have a pretty solid inventory at the moment, but I don't readily have available every color listed on my site. But if someone orders one of those colors, I'll have it within the 7-10 day turnaround.

Will you be offering detachable cables in the future?

I will, and I have done them plenty over the past couple of months when I first offered them. I was waiting on some new supply as my previous batch didn't take to solder very well. I had a repair from a customer where a wire broke free from the solder pad on the connector. Those connectors have failed on me before shipping as well.

This new lot of connectors are different, and they take to solder like they should.

Detachable cables are an additional $8 on top of whatever other customization.

Nice. Will wait for those.

For sure. I just need to add them to the site, so probably this weekend.

Detachables still aren't available, but there is no more delay in manufacturing other than the 7-10 day standard.
