Title: Ducky Shine 3 Mini Usb Cable replacement
Post by: Phamjosi on Fri, 12 June 2015, 04:33:03

Hi everyone.

Just snagged myself a Ducky Shine 3 the other week and so for I'm loving the feel. The only complaint I have is that the usb cable is way too short. I thought this was an easy fix and ordered myself a cable off of amazon.

However, once I plugged it in I noticed that sometimes my keys would repeat themselves for a long time even when they keys were not depressed anymore. This happened on multiple keys and once I plugged the original usb back in it stopped happening.

Would anyone know what type of cable I need to have work ok? I don't know much about what types of USB cables are the best.

Thanks.

Thanks for that. Though, since I'm in california it seems i'll be charged 15 bucks for shipping.  :-[
