Buy the paracord cable and you get some random grab bag caps in addition to the little Iwako I include with every cable purchase.

I could really use a custom cable for a pair of headphones.  A very short (4-6 inches) cable, one end 1/8" male, the other 1/4" female phone jack. 

Basically, this with a cable between the two ends:


I have this exact adapter, came with my headphones.  The problem is, the combination of the 1/4" male plug on the headphones and the adapter exerts a lot of leverage on a tiny little 1/8" stereo plug.  So much so, that my son stepped on the headphone cable and ripped the headphone port right off my laptop motherboard...   :eek:

Anyways.  The name of the game is strain relief.  Maybe even a right-angle 1/8" stereo plug, for additional peace of mind?  Probably sell a few of these to the headphone thread guys as well.   :rolleyes:

Got to love how quickly stuff ships within state.

I've looked into it Greystroke, but it's a little pricier of an investment if you want to have good audio quality cables.

I'm guessing you're referencing the cost?   I haven't sat down and calculated the cost, but with my income, I know it's not worth it for me.  You have to buy high quality wire, buy audio grade silver solder, high quality connectors, and so on.  It's not cheap.

I am and have, see how I have 4 different audio cable options, heh.  Yeah, it's not the cheapest thing to do.

And I'd be willing to bet that there's not a huge markup on those cables.

Not really, no.  The higher end ones are the worst.

Technoviking excited? That's a whole new level of excitement.  It looks like it should get to you today since it says it's out for delivery.

what are the chances of me getting a 2' flat black, no heatshrink, low profile connector, coiled cable that will ship to canada?

I LOVE your other designs, but I'm looking to get blank keycaps and a simple cable fits the scheme much better.

I've done some yellow cables in the past, but I'm not the biggest fan of yellow sleeving since it tends to have some bleed through issues since it's not generally fully opaque.  There is some sleeving I could use that should be a little better than the last yellow cable I did.  Alternatively, I could do one with paracord, though I try to avoid it whenever possible.

You'll have to explain further what you mean by low profile.  PM me more and we can talk about it.  And for coiled, how long of a coil you want does affect things, but, again, that's something that can be worked out via PM.

I also have some blue, white, and a couple other colors for 2.5' cables.
Hey Nub, I'm pretty interested about these 2.5' cables, any more details on the additional colors/pricing? Cheers

Currently it looks like I have 2-2.5' sleeving in white, carbon fiber grey, purple green, black, and some paracord colors.  I should have some coming in for yellow and a blueish color too.  I'd have to calculate pricing again since I haven't sold a ton of them, but they're $15 or under I believe.

Hey nub, I was wondering if you're still selling a green USB cable for a ducky keyboard.

If you're would it be possible to be this color?

I already sold the one I have on hand, but I can make another once more USB A ends come in.  Were you wanting paracord like in the picture you have there or the nicer sleeving I generally use?

Yup, it looks sexy.  I got some because I'm thinking about trying to sleeve my headphone cable with it.

Finished a few more key cap pullers and they're now up for sale:


Verawood/Argentine Lignum Vitae


Black Palm


Mystery wood - bought by the pound


As always, they're priced between $20 and $35 depending on the cost of the wood.

I dunno, but everyone loves a good mystery.  Maybe I'll call it Scooby Wood.

The new colors of MDPC I have.  And the USB A connectors and Filco are finally here too, just waiting on the Micro B so I can make a removable Filco cable. 

I'm also thinking about doing a cable or puller giveaway in the near future.  Drop some contest ideas in this thread.

So far the ideas are:

- Haiku.

- Best non-traditional use of a cable or cap puller.

- In a non-traditional hole that's not the pooper and probably not any other bodily orifice.
