Is this like, cable maker #3 now? I like mimic's offerings better, but cool cables. GLWS.#4 your forgot the original, Whisker
Looks like you trying to compete with MiMic since its so similar to what he just announced (http://tinyurl.com/a8voped) in partnership with TechKeys.

If you mean by Filco adapter, to plug into your pcb, yes. You can choose the option in the order form to have a Filco connector so you can swap your original Filco cable with this one. You would still have to open your Filco case of course to swap it, but no soldering or resoldering is required.Awesome, Thanks!
I don't have a picture of a finished cable with that option yet, but it's this connector (with no loose wires obviously :p)

Hey this looks pretty cool. If I buy the green and red one (1st pic) today, would it be here in time by Christmas? I'm located in the US.
As I don't own a WASD or Rosewill, I can't say if it's the same. I can only assume they have about the same connectors and mounting holes as a Filco? I thought they had the same manufacturer or something. Maybe someone else can answer this on my behalf :)
Anyways, hope this answer helps you already!

I have to have that glow in the dark for my Filco! I will order on Monday for sure. How much extra to make that detachable micro usb filco cable? ME WANT =D
You got some pretty nice cables, but that cable holder is pretty ridiculous lol. It's almost the equivalent of underwater matches.
Nice, reasonably-priced cables, OP. Great colors :)Thanks and thanks :) the cable holder is more an accesory, but it does have its function if you want to guide your cable or hold it in place somewhere, like if you cable goes behind your desk for example. I can imagine underwater matches would be great for poking fishes though :D
Recieved my cable today, loving it so much so I took a sexy shot of it fitted to my Filco TKL mounted in my MKC Aluminium case.
Thanks so much for the cable

Yes, someone already contacted me for a bunch of realforce cables so I already know what components I need for this. So I can definitely do this :) just need to order them that's all.
Wow really? That's not normal. If you want I'll give you the package details, not that there are many, so that you can ask for your post office to check? If that brings a negative result contact me and we will settle this matter.
Also, the crimps for the Filco and Realforce cables are looking good with the new crimp tool. I'll try to borrow a decent camera this week to take some pictures of the finished cables and some close-up shots!
yup that's a Master Chief ^^ the Green/Red was supposed to be for Christmas but I didn't make that deadline :p
Do you have an ETA on when you'll be taking orders for cables again? =D
There we go people, the forms are back up and the OP is updated :) The base prices have been adjusted as well!
First 5 people to order a USB-to-USB-only cable on GH get 10% off! I will post the first lucky five names when I have received them ^^

Couldn't resist, just put an order in for some "Glow-In-The-DARK" Tracers. Because it's the first ORDER I've placed with you, please let me know if I've stuffed up.
Thanks for running another cable service. This place now (Geekhack) has so much choice I feel like a Fat Kid in a Candy Store. ;D
Also put in another ORDER for a custom PS2 cable only because the all metal housing of the connector looks so crash HOT.
I'm starting to like the options this guy has offered, just can't resist........
Thanks for the orders guys :) I have sent a PM to you with your order details.
So far Elrick and Glissant got the new special USB discount ^^ Three spots left!
WOW these look amazing! I'm very tempted to get one for my GF's birthday and maybe treat myself to one too! The quality looks brilliant mate!Thanks man! I'd be happy to make you a special cable for you and your GF ;)
+1
Oh not me?? T.T looks like I have to make a new order!I'll definitely give you a discount next time! :)
Can you match imsto's blue mods/grey base set that copies the realforce anniversary color way? I can send you pictures. I'm looking to color match the cable as close as possible.That will probably be possible :) send me some pictures and I'll take a look!
And here is a Copper Brown for a Filco TKL with a golden PS/2 connector:
This is the PS/2 connector that will be delivered from now on. A few posts earlier there was a different version, which was a backup solution for the late delivery.

Oh YES. The way you connected that Filco cable to that PS2 is a joy to see. Just use my choice of sleeve and it'll make me so giggity ;D .
That's the BEST looking PS2 I have ever seen. Shame IBM never ventured into the all metal housing for their connectors.
Is there any advantage to using PS2 for Filco?

NO not really, but I have an old motherboard with the traditional Purple female PS2 connector, hence she needs some extra love. :-*
For "Paranoid*, I have just PAID the bill all up, hence please commence the order and construction of these wonderous babies. ;)
Ooooo, what color did you go with? The toxic green color is mine, I'm thinking of some ideas now for the next one. :p
Ooooo, what color did you go with? The toxic green color is mine, I'm thinking of some ideas now for the next one. :p
I went with MDPC Titanium Grau MKII. Only because I haven't got an all grey coloured cable yet and it will go with just about any conservative key-set layout.
Did you receive my PM with the picture?Yes I have! I'll pm you with the options I can provide still today or tomorrow :)
Is there any advantage to using PS2 for Filco?I noticed while testing that the PS/2 cable gives you NKRO (the computer registers all keys when you press them at the same time) as to 6KRO over the USB (6 keys at the same time), in case something like this would matter to you.
please commence the order and construction of these wonderous babies. ;)I will soon make the babies! And then I will give them a new home ;)
Can't wait to check out the quality of your work, Paranoid :) .I make sure that each cable is a unique work of art :D I won't stop until I'm satisfied >:D
If I'm not wrong.. USB also has full NKRO for filco? Nowadays most if the keyboards has that feature over USB. Ducky, filco, cm qfr tk.
Anyway, I'm still thinking of a nice cable :p and what about the plan I talked to you in pm? ;)

Nope, its as Paranoid wrote. For Filco TKL its 6kro over USB, nkro over PS/2.
Detachable cable beauty!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/UKOj5Vc.jpg)
These are the final cables of the pre-orders! Now I can focus on the regular orders ^^ I'm taking a short break and I will start again on Easter Monday :)
Your detachable glow-in-the-dark penis is ready by the way. I also made your PS/2 cable yesterday :) only the USB cable to go!
nice cable options you have there paranoid! especially the glow in the dark one!!!!
I'm REALLY close to buying one of these, but I have an issue. Can anyone attest to having used one of these cables on a CM Storm QFR Rapid? I want to get the appropriate mini USB head that will fit into the recessed area leading to the mini USB port. At first I thought I'd get that 90 degree head and itd work but looking at the normal mini USB some more I actually think that it might fit as well.

Thanks man :) You'll have to hurry if you want a glow in the dark ;) I've only got enough for one medium length cable and I probably won't offer this anymore since it's the most difficult sleeve I have :DI'm REALLY close to buying one of these, but I have an issue.

The Mini USB housing is slighty too thick to fit perfectly into the CM recession. It can still connect but willl be angled a very little bit apparantly. I can solve this by heatshrinking the gold connector which has a full body, in which case it dramatically reduces in thickness, like in this case:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/lKWQmyr.jpg)

Some finished cables :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/RVQS3ii.jpg)
I will also be providing cables with pcb connectors for Cherry keyboards in the near future!
haha... you are correct. Right now im still thinking on my cable.... still undecided what to get....nice cable options you have there paranoid! especially the glow in the dark one!!!!
@Elrick: oh boy, i seem to find you in almost all cable store here in GH, you really like them cables don't you? :D :D
You always need to support the guys with talent. 8) Anyone who can sleeve just about anything is way above me when it comes to covering a cable with something nice and professional looking. I tried doing it once but as usual just plain gave up due to my gorilla hands which are more suited to stripping diesel engines then creating something fine and special like a keyboard cable.
All of the guys here at Geekhack, whether it's MiMiC, Pexon and Paranoid deserve our custom. These guys are able to do anything with sleeves and when people start making stuff they need to be supported every time. It's rare these days for anyone to create little works of art but it's done with these cables, at such a very low cost.
Mdpc-x is nice! Can you get that?You have a Personal Message, kind sir :)
What shades of purple can you get?
I don't want you to have to make a special order that would be difficult or anything.
still waiting for my cable to arrive. =) until then, i wouldn't comment on it yet :pI checked your package status and it has not been updated since I went to the post office. I sure hope they already shipped it out. Would be weird otherwise! If I still see no change in status this week or if you haven't received it yet I'll go to the post office on Saturday and ask about it.
Got my cables today :D , and I already ordered two more cables because 70cm was too short for me. Note to self: always check lengths twice.nice cables you got there!!! the color is very vibrant!

And here is the B-magic cable with my two-tone blue on beige set.

I would suggest using MDPC sleeving as the quality is stellar.
Now I can't wait to get my cables AGAIN :D .
And of course here are some more cable pics :)MoreRealforce TKL and fullsized internal to female mini usb cables with MDPC black:Still some orders to finish before I can take a break ^^ And I will be selling some extra Filco detachable internal cables I made in the process for a cheap price later :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/fnzyLyi.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/nTBxmhS.jpg)

Fjew! :D and more to come in the next weeks ^^ Thanks all you guys for your support! I will be announcing something fun when things get a little calmer on my side!
It is a custom request for someone but it was something I always wanted to try.
I might make some curly limited editions because I have a limited stock of good curly cables, but that will be for later because I do not have the free time right now :)

In purple? DIBS! xD
And it was my pleasure having you as a client ;) I'm glad you like them! I saw the pictures in the other thread first while looking around ^^ Keeping it standard black on black is pretty slick!
Here is a little something I made over the past days.

All dibses have been noted :D but in all fairness, esoomenona had the first private dibs :cool:
I only have a few good curled cables for this, and to be honest, it's a pain sleeving these ****ers :D I will be looking for some other curled cables that I can sleeve with Paracord as well because these are too thick. Let the hunt begin!
Pricing is not fixed yet so I cannot give an estimate right now. It will be a bit more expensive than a regular cable because it's more time consuming at it uses quite a bit of sleeving. And I won't be making a lot of these :) Else I won't like making cables anymore :D

a great cable that curly one is .
god... that coiled cable is awesome!!!!!it was you !!. :p
a great cable that curly one is .
Guilty as charged :D
Yes it is really amazing.
I almost feel guilty though, to put Paranoid through the hard work it must have been to sleeve the cable.
Today I received some amazing cables from Paranoid.
The quality of the cables is superb.
My photo skills on the other hand, not so much.Show Image(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1357824/Paranoid.jpg)
It must have been a nightmare to sleeve this cable.Show Image(https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1357824/Paranoid%20Curly.jpg)
Thank you Paranoid. Enjoy your well earned break.
Haah it's been a while guys! Taking a break from making cables can feel good for a bit haha :D I was also a bit fed up that the things that made my cables unique at the time were just being copied by everybody else. I'm talking about which connectors I use and then last thing was the curled cable. So yeah I had enough of that bull**** for a bit. Try coming up with something for yourself instead of just copying.. Sorry for the rant.
So here's a little update on what's coming:
I am going on vacation soon for a couple weeks so it's going to be a bit quiet. After that, somewhere mid July I will be back in business for the cable making! Last one I made was for a Phantom, see pic below.
Now keycap wise I've been making some molds for MX keycaps in Cherry profile but they are not perfect yet so I'm going to make them again so that will be delayed quite a bit.
What I did do is make some ALPS keycaps as you can see below. I'm really pleased with the result.
I'm sorry if the idea reminds you of a clicklack, there's only so much you can do with a simple keycap :D
The whole mold making process is already going on for some months but I don't have loads of free time and these things take a lot of effort and time to make. Anyways, see pics below for my first series which will be for sale later. I might make some more in the next two weeks. Still experimenting with colors and additives untill I find some cool stuff. So there's that.
So plans for the future, I have some really cool idea's for caps and cables that I cannot share yet but oh boy if I can find the time and means to make it happen (and if it works) that's going to be awesome! Sorry for getting your hopes up if nothing really happens :D
Besides from that I'll be making some more molded keycaps for ALPS and MX. I will be working on the Esc-row, WASD and arrow cluster. But that requires a lot more molds of course.
Cable business will continue as usual when I get back as I mentioned. I should be fully stocked again by then. I should also have some short and long curbled cables available but I have to contact the dibs list first for that to happen :)
So that's it for now. Back to normal life and enjoying the weather a bit as long as it lasts :) Time to take the bike out for a spin!
Have a good evening or day! Talk to you guys later.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/JF0LzPx.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/nNpcdRw.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/IdIJE9t.jpg)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/hXGVBBd.jpg)
Now, I was also thinking about making my shop/experience a bit more professional with a new/better name or slogan/whatever and logo or something. I might make this into a contest where the idea that pleases me the most will receive something nice. What do you guys think?
First round of ALPS keycaps up for sale!I am interested in a cap :D
For the very first round, no limit per person. In the future there will be a limit depending if they are unique caps or series.
Currently there are three of each! Note that these are personally crafted molds and keycaps so tiny imperfections and differences are definitely possible. But hey, that also makes each of them unique!Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/gQVKihg.jpg)
Price is €15 per keycap.
Shipping as usual, €4 for Europe, €5 the rest of the world. Tracking is also available.
Payment will be done through Paypal.
First come, first serve. Also offerend on DT :)
I am interested in a cap :D
Hi Poom,
At the moment I don't offer lightning cables. If there would be enough interest I can definitely look into that. Shipping to Switzerland is not so expensive: €4 under 100gr and €7 above 100gr.
Cheers!
hey, yep not a problem, i figure it isnt so straight forward since there is something with the controller and stuff too right?Well I read something about that as well, but I don't believe our Chinese friends actually use those since I've seen just the connectors somewhere before. Can't remember where at the moment. I should try this out to be sure of course, but I don't have an ios device :) I'll try it out during the summer. Remind me if I forget :p
hi,If anyone should know it would be me I guess :D the diameter of the cable varies. I have several different cables depending on what sleeve is used and if the cable is for usb or for internal keyboard components. I goes from 3-5mm in cable thickness, and you can add rougly 0,5-1mm to that when the sleeving is on. For the strain relief I'd have to measure when I'm home. I think it was about 3cm but you can pretty much cut it to size although it's a little tricky to cut it straight because of the rubber.
does anybody know how thick the cables are (specifically for the filco tkl)? and how long the strain relief is from the ring inside?
I want to build a tray with the keyboard embedded and need to decide if I want to order (when the orders are live again) with the strain relief or not.

Got some additions to the sleeves. Three extra colors of MDPC and some colored Paracord:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/ld55iJ1.jpg)
With this and all the components back in stock I could finally make an interesting request for an Ergodox kit:Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/dU4EPLG.jpg)
That's all for now :)
:( Looks like I have to get a cable somewhere else.
hi Coumbaya, I can make those if you want me to ;) I'll be sure to contact you when I'm back from vacation :)

And you are correct sir ;) Let me know when you have received them :)Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/rRgT4LF.jpg)
I think I know who those belong to. ;D
Ohhh..I can't stress how much I want your cable.. :D
Aww i would have really wanted to buy one
5 reasons to buy from Paranoid if he is accepting orders:
- Very personable. If the guy lived nearby, I'd buy him a beer for sure.
- Thorough answers. So much less frustration when someone spends the 2 minutes to reply rather than typing 2 words and just hitting send.
- Prompt replies. Always within a day he got back to me.
- Honest. He gave me realistic estimates on when he could have things done, which I appreciate far more than over-promising and under-delivering.
- Awesome quality. Everything arrived as ordered, works perfectly, and is very well-made.
Paranoid is the real deal.
Thanks, buddy.
I'm so looking forward to my babes in the near future!Coming soon Tony! :)
Well, I'm currently still working on orders but my guess is that I will be taking orders again within a month or so. I will definitely post this here so if you still want a nice cable, you can order them then :)
Amazing as always!Thanks dude :) always appreciate your nice comments ;)
Wow very nice sleeving skills! Waiting for orders to open :'(
Hey, I'll take the MDPC-3 and a detachable cable for the filco.
Edit: Oh wait, the detachable does not work with the TKL right?
In that case I only take the MDPC-3. Thank you for quick response.Alright, it's yours! PM is on the way
I'll take these manFantastic! PM is on the way

Purple sold to dustin :)
No clue actually :) I don't own one myself + I need to know what kind of connector it is and possibly find and order it + if you want an original looking strain relief I have to measure and design it and print and test it, otherwise it's the same strain relief as on the Phantom cable above
These look awesome. I need to place an order for a red one for my Poker II..
God that's gorgeous.
