Title: Is there a difference between a Filco keyboard cable and a Filco Tenkeypad Cable
Post by: thrashwolf on Sat, 22 June 2013, 23:49:12

Long story short. through a series of very ****ty(pun intended) events my cat decided to eat, and then crap out the end of my tenkeypad cable i had on my desk.

Yes there is a difference oh god I fried my tenkey using a regular cable. I forgot what exactly was the difference, but the wires are switched around.
