Hi all, I'm searching for a usb — mini usb cable for my keyboard. It should be coiled (like old school telephone cables) and with a right angle on the mini end. Amazon provides no result. Anyone know of any cable like that?
Thanks~~

Plenty of cable makers on the forum, Pexon & TFR make them I know for a fact and I think the bloke from Belgium may too.

I've seen some coiled cables, specially in korean custom pictures, maybe you can find something in classifieds on this forum as there are several people making custom cables.
May i ask, why do you prefer a coiled one?

Thanks for your replies. I guess I’ll try to find some custom cables on the forum.

Well basically I want it to be short when I use it on my laptop, but I may want to use it on my desktop where it needs to be a bit longer.

here's one with an angled connector http://www.ebay.com/itm/5Ft-Spiral-Coiled-USB-MINI-5Pin-5P-right-angle-Male-to-USB-2-0-A-male-plug-Cable-/290957831537?pt=US_USB_Cables_Hubs_Adapters&hash=item43be702d71
i use a yellow buffalo coiled cable, it matched my old hhkb color scheme. i think the yellow is the least obnoxious of the colors they have but if you're into bright colors they're your best bet.

Well yea that also works. It’s just look kinda messy that way :p

My answer depends a bit on where you're actually located, but I can do that fairly easily as well.
It may be faster to go through say Pexon if you're UK/EU located (Paranoid is Belgium based, but is fully queued if I remember correctly).
