Title: ISO a new cable for my Keyboard
Post by: TheBeardedClimber on Wed, 01 January 2020, 17:21:29
Where can I buy a reliable cable for my Camo Filco Majestouch 2? I got it second hand and it seems the internal cable is broken, so it needs to be replaced. I took it apart, and I see how to swap it, but I do not know where it would be best to buy from. Just looking for a normal USB-B end.

I personally don't have too much trouble with standard amazon basic cords if I'm going cheap, so if reliability is the issue at stake, I'd imagine any replacement should take care of it.

but if you want something really nice, or are wanting to spend extra to get extra quality:
https://www.dream-cables.com/

This is just one of a great deal of many people nowadays providing paracord usb cables built by hand to a certain length and with extra features if you should want them.

If you don't like the colors or features available, google search "custom usb cords", there are tons of alternative sites doing around the same thing.

I ordered 4 cables from Dream and they've been fantastic for my uses, I'd recommend them again myself.

Those  are not what he asked for, filco uses an internal header connector which that company doesn't offer.
