Title: What type of USB cable to get for custom mechanical keyboard cable
Post by: urwsi123 on Sun, 11 April 2021, 16:28:29

Hi, I am assembling components to build my first mechanical keyboard cable. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is whether or not it is important to get a shielded 28/4 awg cable. I found some relatively inexpensive cables on Ali Express but they only have a single mesh wire shielding. I have seen vendors who sell kits (like Zap cables) sell their cables with 2 different types of shielding. How important is shielding and what are some recommended places to get bulk cable?
